Two earth satellites, a and b, each of mass m, are to be launched into circular orbits about earth's center. satellite a is to orbit at an altitude of 6380 km. satellite b is to orbit at an altitude of 22700 km. the radius of earth reis 6370 km. (a) what is the ratio of the potential energy of satellite b to that of satellite a, in orbit? (b) what is the ratio of the kinetic energy of satellite b to that of satellite a, in orbit? (c) which satellite (answer a or b) has the greater total energy if each has a mass of 35.0 kg? (d) by how much?
Answers: 1
being the Earth's radius
; however, the value of the total energy is negative, so actually satellite B will have a greater energy than satellite A.

Asubject in a clinical research trial experiences a serious, unanticipated adverse drug experience. how should the investigator proceed, with respect to the irb, after the discovery of the adverse event occurrence? a. do not report the adverse drug experience to the irb since it is a common adverse experience. b. report the adverse drug experience to the irb only if there are several other occurrences. c. report the adverse drug experience as part of the continuing review report. d. report the adverse drug experience in a timely manner, in keeping with the irb's policies and procedures, using the forms or the mechanism provided by the irb.

Ametal ring 4.20 cm in diameter is placed between the north and south poles of large magnets with the plane of its area perpendicular to the magnetic field. these magnets produce an initial uniform field of 1.12 t between them but are gradually pulled apart, causing this field to remain uniform but decrease steadily at 0.240 t/s . (a) what is the magnitude of the electric field induced in the ring? (b) in which direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) does the current flow as viewed by someone on the south pole of the magnet?

Certain bacteria (such as aquaspirillum magnetotacticum) tend to swim toward the earth’s geographic north pole because they contain tiny particles, called magnetosomes, that are sensitive to a magnetic field. if a transmission line carrying 100 a is laid underwater, at what range of distances would the magnetic field from this line be great enough to interfere with the migration of these bacteria? (assume that a field less than 5% of the earth’s field would have little effect on the bacteria. take the earth’s field to be 5.0 * 10-5 t, and ignore the effects of the seawater.)
