The orbiting velocity of the satellite is 4.2km/s.

To find the answer, we need to know about the orbital velocity of a satellite.

<h3>What's the expression of orbital velocity of a satellite?</h3>
  • Mathematically, orbital velocity= √(GM/r)
  • r = radius of the orbital, M = mass of earth
<h3>What's the orbital velocity of a satellite orbiting earth with a radius 3.57 times the earth radius?</h3>
  • M= 5.98×10²⁴ kg, r= 3.57× 6.37×10³ km = 22.7×10⁶m
  • Orbital velocity= √(6.67×10^(-11)×5.98×10²⁴/22.7×10⁶)

=4.2km/s

Thus, we can conclude that the orbiting velocity of the satellite is 4.2km/s.

That's the period of time known as one solar "day". We subdivide it into 24 slices which we call "hours". Using this system of time units, the day is about 4 minutes longer than one complete axial rotation of the Earth.

An acorn with a mass of 0.300 kilograms falls from a tree. What is its kinetic energy when it reaches a velocity of 5.oo m/s?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: 3.75 joules

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of acorn = 0.300 kilograms

velocity = 5.oo m/s

Kinetic energy = ?

Since, kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, its value depends on the mass M and velocity V of the acorn.

Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2

= 1/2 x 0.300kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.5 x 0.3kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.15 x (5.00m/s)^2

= 3.75 joules

Thus, the kinetic energy of the falling acorn is 3.75 joules

Two forces act on a moving object that has a mass of 27 kg. One has a magnitude of 12 N and points due south, while the other ha
levacccp [35]

0.77 m/s2 directed 35° south of west

net force = (-17,-12)

net force = mass * acceleration

(-17,-12) = 27 * (x-acceleration,y-acceleration)

(x-acceleration,y-acceleration) = (-17/27,-12/27) = (-0.629629629..., -0.444...)

angle of acceleration = tan^-1 (-0.444.../-0.629629...) = 35.21759 degrees below negative x-axis.

magnitude of acceleration = sqrt((-0.629629...)^2 + (-0.444...)^2) = 0.77069 (5dp)

Define infer in science.
tia_tia [17]

Answer :Scientific Definition of Inference

In science, there are a few different types of inferences, but in general an inference is: “An educated guess made through observation.” You might use these inferences to share a potential reason why something happens or how it happens.
