It would have to be 36,719 Km high in order to be to be in geosynchronous orbit.

To find the answer, we need to know about the third law of Kepler.

<h3>What's the Kepler's third law?</h3>
  • It states that the square of the time period of orbiting planet or satellite is directly proportional to the cube of the radius of the orbit.
  • Mathematically, T²∝a³
<h3>What's the radius of geosynchronous orbit, if the time period and altitude of ISS are 90 minutes and 409 km respectively?</h3>
  • The time period of geosynchronous orbit is 24 hours or 1440 minutes.
  • As the Earth's radius is 6371 Km, so radius of the ISS orbit= 6371km + 409 km = 6780km.
  • If T1 and T2 are time period of geosynchronous orbit and ISS orbit respectively, a1 and a2 are radius of geosynchronous orbit and ISS orbit, as per third law of Kepler, (T1/T2)² = (a1/a2)³
  • a1= (T1/T2)⅔×a2

           = (1440/90)⅔×6780

           = 43,090 km

  • Altitude of geosynchronous orbit = 43,090 - 6371= 36,719 km

Thus, we can conclude that the altitude of geosynchronous orbit is 36,719km.

A car starting from rest has a constant acceleration of 4 meters per second per second. How fast will it be going in 5 seconds?
irinina [24]

Answer:

18 m

Explanation:

Given : vo = 0 m/s ; t = 3 s; a = 4 m/s^2 ; d = ? m ; average velocity = ? m/s ; fonal velocity = ? m/s

solving for the final velocity, v

v = a * t

v = 4 m/s^2 * 3 s

v = 12 m / s

Solving for the average velocity. avg v

avg v = (vo + v) / 2

avg v = (0 m / s + 12 m/s) / 2

avg v = 6 m / s

Solving for the distance traveled after 3 s

d = avg v * t

d = 6 m / s * 3 s

d = 18 meters

In the first 3s the car travels 18 meters.

Describe free fall and weightlessness ?<br>​
yaroslaw [1]

weightlessness is the complete or near complete absense of the sensation of weight.

when in freefall,the only force acting upon your body is the force of gravity a noun contact force.since the gravity cannot be felt without any other opposing forces,you would have no sensation of it.you would feel weightless when in a state of freefall.
