<span>d.rotating counterclockwise and slowing down
This is a matter of understanding the notation and conventions of angular rotations. Positive rotations are counter clockwise and negative rotations are clockwise. An easy way to remember this is the "right hand rule". Make a closed fist with your right hand and have the thumb sticking outwards. If you orient your thumb such that it's pointing in the direction of the positive value along the axis, your fingers will be curled in the positive rotational direction. So in the described scenario, the sphere is rotating in the positive direction (counter clockwise) and decelerating due to the negative angular acceleration. That immediately indicates that options "a", "b", and "e" are wrong since they mention the sphere going clockwise at the beginning. Of the two remaining options "c" and "d", we can discard option "c" since it has the rotation speeding up, and that leaves us with option "d" where the sphere is rotating counter clockwise and slowing down.</span>
Answer:
hey answer in the comment section
Answer:
7.55 km/s
Explanation:
The force of gravity between the Earth and the Hubble Telescope corresponds to the centripetal force that keeps the telescope in uniform circular motion around the Earth:

where
is the gravitational constant
is the mass of the telescope
is the mass of the Earth
is the distance between the telescope and the Earth's centre (given by the sum of the Earth's radius, r, and the telescope altitude, h)
v = ? is the orbital velocity of the Hubble telescope
Re-arranging the equation and substituting numbers, we find the orbital velocity:

The horizontal force is m*v²/Lh, where m is the total mass. The vertical force is the total weight (233 + 840)N.
<span>Fx = [(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 </span>
<span>v = 32.3*2*π*7.5/60 m/s = 25.37 m/s </span>
<span>The horizontal component of force from the cables is Th + Ti*sin40º and the vertical component of force from the cable is Ta*cos40º </span>
<span>Thh horizontal and vertical forces must balance each other. First the vertical components: </span>
<span>233 + 840 = Ti*cos40º </span>
<span>solve for Ti. (This is the answer to the part b) </span>
<span>Horizontally </span>
<span>[(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 = Th + Ti*sin40º </span>
<span>Solve for Th </span>
<span>Th = [(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 - Ti*sin40º </span>
<span>using v and Ti computed above.</span>
