1) A satellite of mass 450kg is in orbit above the Earth’s equator. It is travelling at an orbital speed of 9m/s.
(a) Determine the altitude of the satellite
(b) Determine the Force of gravity acting between the satellite and the
Earth.
2) What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field strength at point Z in the figure below?
3) A 1.0x10
-6 C test charge is 40.0cm from a 3.2 x 10 -3 C charged sphere. How much work was required to move it there from a point 1.0 x 10 2 cm away from the sphere?
4) A straight horizontal wire 2.0m long has a current of 2.5A toward the east. The local magnetic field of the Earth is 5.0x10
-5 T [N, horizontal]. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the force on the conductor.
