Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Geostationary satellites are placed in orbit above the equator at an orbital altitude of 35786 km in order to perfectly match the earth's rotation...thus they APPEAR stationary in the sky ..... then your DISH TV antenna (etc) can point in one direction at them for continuous communication. Or.... a spy or weather satellite would be able to look at one section of the earth non-stop

A U-shaped tube open to the air at both ends contains some mercury. A quantity of water is carefully poured into the left arm of

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) $P=2450\ Pa$

b) $\delta h=23.162\ cm$

Explanation:

Given:

height of water in one arm of the u-tube, $h_w=25\ cm=0.25\ m$

a)

Gauge pressure at the water-mercury interface,:

$P=\rho_w.g.h_w$

we've the density of the water $=1000\ kg.m^{-3}$

$P=1000\times 9.8\times 0.25$

$P=2450\ Pa$

b)

Now the same pressure is balanced by the mercury column in the other arm of the tube:

$\rho_w.g.h_w=\rho_m.g.h_m$

$1000\times 9.8\times 0.25=13600\times 9.8\times h_m$

$h_m=0.01838\ m=1.838\ cm$

<u>Now the difference in the column is :</u>

$\delta h=h_w-h_m$

$\delta h=25-1.838$

$\delta h=23.162\ cm$

A youngster having a mass of 50.0 kg steps off a 1.00 m high platform. If she keeps her legs fairly rigid and comes to rest in 1

attashe74 [19]

The average act on her during the deceleration is 4.47 meters per second.

<u>Explanation</u>:

<u>Given</u>:

youngster mass m = 50.0 kg

She steps off a 1.00 m high platform that is s = 1 meter

She comes to rest in the 10-meter second

<u>To Find</u>:

The average force and momentum

<u>Formulas</u>:

p = m * v

F * Δ t = Δ p

vf^2= vi^2+2as

<u>Solution</u>:

a = 9.8 m/s

vi = 0

vf^2= 0+2(9.8)(1)

vf^2 = 19.6

vf = 4.47 m/s .

Therefore the average force is 4.47 m/s.
