Neglecting air resistance and the weight of the propellant, determine the work done in propelling a five-ton satellite to a height of (a) 100 miles above Earth and (b) 300 miles above Earth.

a) the work done in propelling a five-ton satellite to a height of 100 miles above Earth is 487.8 mile-tons  

b) the work done in propelling a five-ton satellite to a height of 300 miles above Earth is 1395.3 mile-tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

We know that the weight of a body varies inversely as the square of its distance from the center of the earth.

⇒F(x) = c / x²

given that; F(x) = five-ton = 5 tons

we know that the radius of earth is approximately 4000 miles

so we substitute

5 = c / (4000)²

c = 5 × ( 4000 )²

c = 8 × 10⁷

∴ Increment of work is;

Δw =  [ ( 8 × 10⁷ ) / x² ] Δx

a) For 100 miles above Earth;

W = ₄₀₀₀∫⁴¹⁰⁰ [ ( 8 × 10⁷ ) / x² ] Δx

= (8 × 10⁷)

= (8 × 10⁷)

= (8 × 10⁷ ) [ 6.09756 × 10⁻⁶ ]

= 487.8 mile-tons  

Therefore, the work done in propelling a five-ton satellite to a height of 100 miles above Earth is 487.8 mile-tons  

b) For 300 miles above Earth.

W = ₄₀₀₀∫⁴³⁰⁰ [ ( 8 × 10⁷ ) / x² ] Δx

= (8 × 10⁷)

= (8 × 10⁷)

= (8 × 10⁷ ) [ 1.744186 × 10⁻⁵ ]

= 1395.3 mile-tons

Therefore, the work done in propelling a five-ton satellite to a height of 300 miles above Earth is 1395.3 mile-tons

this is a very good question

step-by-step explanation:

i got a hair cut today from my mom not to flex just to flex kim jon un is one rad fellow i'd say you'd need to take the hairline in kinda like a box shape like someone rammed a lego brick into your head. from there you really need to take the top up keeping with that boxy aesthetic, finally coat the whole thing with gel if your country economics are failing or whatever you can just coat it with the starving children's food rations. about 5 orphans per strand is a good ratio. good luck with the fresh cut my dude
