Application of Electric, magnetic and gravitational field in satellite

AI Thread Summary
Electric, magnetic, and gravitational fields play crucial roles in satellite operations. Gravitational fields are significant during both the launch and orbital phases, as gravity continues to act on the satellite, maintaining its orbit. The Earth's magnetic field influences satellites by inducing electrical currents in conductors, which can lead to operational issues, particularly in regions like the South Atlantic Anomaly. Understanding these fields is essential for ensuring the successful building and launching of satellites. Overall, the interplay of these forces is vital for satellite functionality and stability in space.

Hello,
Im new to this forum and i hope u guys can help me with this question.

I need to explain how electric, gravitational and magnetic fields are present in the building and launching of a satellite.

I know that gravitational will be present at launching since gravity will be acting on the satellite when its going up and then afterwards since the gravitational field will be presen in the satellite to keep it in orbit.

can anyone explain me how the other fields are present in the satellite?

thank you in advance

The gravitational field effects the satelite during launch and orbit.
Gravity is (almost) as strong in orbit as on the ground - the reason things appear weightless in orbit is simply that everythign is falling at the same rate.

The Earth has a magnetic field, conductors (ie. electrical wires) moving through a magnetic field will create an electical current - in certain areas of the Earth this effect is stronger and can cause serious problems ( see Hubble and the south atlantic anomaly)
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
