The speed of the satellite moving in a stable circular orbit about the Earth is 5,916.36 m/s.

<h3>Speed of the satellite</h3>

v = √GM/r

where;

M is mass of Earth
G is universal gravitation constant
r is distance from center of Earth = Radius of earth + 4930 km

v = √[(6.626 x 10⁻¹¹ x 5.97 x 10²⁴) / ((6371 + 4930) x 10³)]

v = 5,916.36 m/s

Thus, the speed of the satellite moving in a stable circular orbit about the Earth is 5,916.36 m/s.

Answer:

Frequency = 1,550Hz

Explanation:

To solve this we can use the equation: $f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

(frequency = velocity/wavelength).

We are given the information that the wavelength is 22cm and the speed is 340m/s. The first step is to make sure everything is in the correct units (SI units), and to convert them if needed. The SI Units for velocity and wavelength are m/s and m respectively. This means we need to convert 22cm into meters, which we can do by dividing by 100, (as there are 100cm in a meter). 22/100 = 0.22m

Now we can substitute these values into the formula and calculate to solve:

$f=\frac{340}{0.22} \\\\f=1545.454...$

Simplify to 3 significant figures:

f = 1,550Hz

(Which I believe is just below a G6 if you were interested)

Hope this helped!

What velocity does a 2kg mass have when its kinetic energy is 16 J

alexandr402 [8]

We can use the equation for kinetic energy, K=1/2mv².
Your given variables are already in the correct units, so we can just plug in the variables and solve for v.

K = 1/2mv²
16 = 1/2(2)v²
16 = (1)v²
√16 = v
v = 4 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of a 2 kg mass with 16 J of kinetic energy is 4 m/s.
Hope this is helpful!
