Kinetic energy in an orbit. The kinetic energy of an object in orbit can easily be found from the following equations: Centripetal force on a satellite of mass m moving at velocity v in an orbit of radius r = mv2/r. But this is equal to the gravitational force (F) between the planet (mass M) and the satellite: F =GMm/r2 and so mv2 = GMm/r. But kinetic energy = mv2 and so:
I believe the power company would be responsible for it, but they would of course charge you. Their business is delivering power and not contracting; ours seemed pretty fair running a natural gas line/meter/etc. 430 feet for $2000.
The project involves drilling two holes in the 110-foot high, mile-long dam and running water through two turbines. Missouri River Energy Services, a Sioux Falls, S.D.-based not-for-profit utility that provides power to 61 cities, has the license to build the power plant at an estimated cost of $260 million.ydroelectricity provides about 7 percent of the nationâs power using about 2,500 dams. But those dams are just a fraction of the 80,000 in the United States. Most were built for flood control, to aid in river navigation or to create recreational areas. So they do not have power plants.
