Answer

given,

mass of satellite = 545 Kg

R = 6.4 x 10⁶ m

H = 2 x 6.4 x 10⁶ m

Mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

height above earth is equal to earth's mean radius

a) satellite's orbital velocity

   centripetal force acting on satellite = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

     gravitational force = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}

    equating both the above equation

    \dfrac{mv^2}{r} = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}

      v = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}

      v = \sqrt{\dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 5.972 \times 10^{24}}{2 \times 6.4 \times 10^6}}

          v = 5578.5 m/s

b) T= \dfrac{2\pi\ r}{v}

   T= \dfrac{2\pi\times 2\times 6.4 \times 10^6}{5578.5}

   T= \dfrac{2\pi\times 2\times 6.4 \times 10^6}{5578.5}

          T = 14416.92 s

          T = \dfrac{14416.92}{3600}\ hr

          T = 4 hr

c) gravitational force acting

  F = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}

  F = \dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 545 \times 5.972 \times 10^{24} }{(6.46 \times 10^6)^2}

     F = 5202 N

BigorU [14]

Heptane is always composed of 84.0% carbon and 16.0% hydrogen. This illustrates the "law of definite proportions".

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Proust's law states that every chemical compound used to made up of element constituents with constant proportions in terms of its mass and also independent from its sources and synthesis method. In 1779, Joseph Proust gave other names to the Proust's law as, the law of composition or definite proportions or constant compositions.

This can understood from given example like: Oxygen is composed of 8/9 of the mass of any sample of pure water while the hydrogen fills up the remaining 1/9 of the mass. The basis of stoichiometry is structured with the law of multiple proportions along the law of definite proportions.
