The acceleration due to gravity serves as the centripetal acceleration of the objects that orbits the Earth. The centripetal acceleration due to gravity is calculated through the equation,
a = v²/r
where v is the speed and r is the radius. Substituting the known values to the equation,
9.8 m/s² = (420 m/s)² / r
The value of r from the equation is 18000 m or equal to 18 km.
<em>Answer: 18 km</em>
Answer:
Explanation:
Time taken to accelerate to 28 m /s
= 28 / 2 = 14 s
a ) Total length of time in motion
= 14 + 41 + 5
= 60 s .
b )
Distance covered while accelerating
s = ut + 1/2 at²
= 0 + .5 x 2 x 14²
= 196 m .
Distance covered while moving in uniform motion
= 28 x 41
= 1148 m
distance covered while decelerating
v = u - at
0 = 28 - a x 5
a = 5.6 m / s²
v² = u² - 2 a s
0 = 28² - 2 x 5.6 x s
s = 28² / 2 x 5.6
= 70 m .
Total distance covered
= 196 + 1148 + 70
= 1414 m
total time taken = 60 s
average velocity
= 1414 / 60
= 23.56 m /s .
Answer:
The answer is A.
Explanation:
The diagram shows the light ray bending away from the normal. Light rays bend away from the normal when their speed increases. This means that in the diagram, the light ray moves from a medium in which light has a lower speed to a medium in light has a higher speed. The only choice where the speed of light increases from A to B is answer A. So that has to be the answer.
Answer:
389.78681 K
Explanation:
= Initial pressure = 55.1 mmHg
= Final pressure = 1 atm = 760 mmHg
= Boiling point
= Initial temperature = 35°C
= Heat of vaporization = 32.1 kJ/mol
From the Clausius-Claperyon equation
The normal boiling point of the substance is 389.78681 K
Hydrostatic pressure is independent of directions.
