On July 15, 2004, NASA launched the Aura spacecraft to study the earth's climate and atmosphere. This satellite was injected int

o an orbit 705 km above the earth's surface, and we shall assume a circular orbit.
(a) How many hours does it take this satellite to make one orbit?


(b) How fast (in km/s) is the Aura spacecraft moving?

On the earth surface g = GM/R^2
 And at the hieight h
 g" = GM/ [R+h] ^2
 g" = R^2/ [ R+h]^2 * g
 g" = {R/ [ R+h] }^2 * g
 g" = {6378/ 7083}^2 * 9.81 = 7.95 m/s^2
 --------------------------------------
T^2 = 4π^2 (R+h) /g"
T^2 = 4π^2 *7083 /7.95 
T = 187.54s = 0.052 hour.
 ========================
 Part B
 v = 2*π *[R+h] / T
 v = 2*π *[7.083] / 187.54s
 v = 0.24 km /s

A rocket sled with an initial mass of 3 metric tons, invluding 1 ton of fuel, rests on a level section of track. At t=0, the sol
ELEN [110]

Answer:

v = 719.2 m / s and     a = 83.33 m / s²

Explanation:

This is a rocket propulsion system where the system is made up of the rocket plus the ejected mass, where the final velocity is

           v - v₀ = v_{e} ln (M₀ / M)

where v₀ is the initial velocity, v_{e} the velocity of the gases with respect to the rocket and M₀ and M the initial and final masses of the rocket

In this case, if fuel burns at 75 kg / s, we can calculate the fuel burned for the 10 s

            m_fuel = 75 10

            m_fuel = 750 kg

As the rocket initially had a mass of 3000 kg including 1000 kg of fuel, there are still 250 kg, so the mass of the rocket minus the fuel burned is

              M = 3000 -750 = 2250 kg

let's calculate

            v - 0 = 2500 ln (3000/2250)

            v = 719.2 m / s

To calculate the acceleration, let's use the concept of the rocket thrust, which is the force of the gases on it. In the case of the rocket, it is

             Push = v_{e} dM / dt

let's calculate

             Push = 2500  75

             Push = 187500 N

            If we use Newton's second law

             F = m a

             a = F / m

let's calculate

              a = 187500/2250

              a = 83.33 m / s²

A car with a velocity of 6.4 m/s, forward, accelerates to a velocity of 10.6 m/s, forward, in 16 s. What is the card acceleratio
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

acceleration = 0.2625 m/s²

Explanation:

   acceleration = ( final velocity - initial velocity ) / time

Here the final velocity is  10.6 m/s and initial velocity is 6.4 m/s and time is 16 s.

using the equation:

acceleration =  ( 10.6 - 6.4 ) / 16

                     = 0.2625 m/s²

A particular balloon can be stretched to a maximum surface area of 1257 cm2. The balloon is filled with 3.1 L of helium gas at a
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The ballon will brust at

<em>Pmax = 518 Torr ≈ 0.687 Atm </em>

<em />

<em />

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem we are going to use the ideal gass law

PV = nRT

Where n (number of moles) and R are constants (in the present case)

Therefore, we can relate to thermodynamic states with their respective pressure, volume and temperature.

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2} --- (*)

Our initial state is:

P1 = 754 torr

V1 = 3.1 L

T1 = 294 K

If we consider the final state at which the ballon will explode, then:

P2 = Pmax

V2 = Vmax

T2 = 273 K

We also know that the maximum surface area is: 1257 cm^2

If we consider a spherical ballon, we can obtain the maximum radius:

R_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{A_{max}}{4 \pi}}

Rmax = 10.001 cm

Therefore, the max volume will be:

V_{max} = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_{max}^3

Vmax = 4 190.05 cm^3 = 4.19 L

Now, from (*)

P_{max} = P_1 \frac{V_1T_2}{V_2T_1}

Therefore:

Pmax= P1 * (0.687)

That is:

Pmax = 518 Torr

An astronaut is walking in space. Which of these would have the greatest speed as observed by the astronaut?
Aleks04 [339]
The answer is C) an electromagnetic wave

An electromagnetic wave, which includes electromagnetic radiation such as visible light, moves the fastest of all of the options listed by a significant margin, especially through space. In fact, light travelling through space is technically the theoretical limit of how fast something can travel.
