n is the primary quantum number, l is the secondary quantum nuber and m is the magnetic quantum number. if n=1 then you have 1 sublevel you use the equation n^2 to find out how many orbitals it has. For example, if n=2 then sub it into the equation n^2 so (2)^2 = 4, therefore it has 4...

Homework Statement Show the permissible values of l and m for; a) n=1 b) n=2 c) n=3 Homework Equations I'm not really sure what they mean by permissible values, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could explain this to me and help me get started. thank you The Attempt at a...

Homework Statement A satellite with a mass of 5.00x10^2 kg is in a circular orbit, whose radius is 2re, around Earth. Then it is moved to a circular orbit with a radius of 3re. e) Calculate the escape velocity for the satellite if it is on Earths surface. Homework Equations Vesc =...

also d) for the same problem asks me to Calculate the speed it would need in order to maintain its new orbit. I did v = sq.root of Gme/r so I got v = sq.root of (6.67x10^-11)(500)/3(6.38x10^6) v = sq.root of 1.742424242x10^-15 v = 0.000000042 m/s that seems way to small to me, can...

Homework Statement Given that Jupiter has a mass of 1.9x10^27 kg, and the sun has a mass of 1.99x10^30 kg: a) Calculate the value of Kepler's constant for Jupiter. b) If Jupiter's orbital period is 11.89 Earth years, calculate the average radius of its orbit. Homework Equations K...

So I got the answer for both 2re and 3re which are Ep = -1.56*10^10 Ep = -1.041969697*10^10 and then for the next question it asks to determine the change in gravitational potential energy which I'm pretty sure is (Delta)Ep=Ep2-Ep1 which I got 5180303030 J ( I just subtracted the two...

Homework Statement A satellite with a mass of 5.00 x 10^2 kg is in a circular orbit, whose radius is 2re, around Earth. Then it is moved to a circular orbit with a radius of 3re. a) Determine the satellite's gravitational potential energy in each orbit. Homework Equations Ep= -GMm/r...
