Calculate the velocity of a 1650 kilogram satellite.

Physics
1 answer:
Anna35 [415]3 years ago
8 0

There's not enough information given to do that calculation.

-- The question doesn't specify whether the satellite is on the
shelf in the Vehicle Assembly Building before being installed
onto the booster, or inside the nose-cone as the rocket is slowly
being rolled to the launch-pad, or on its ascent to orbit after launch,
or in orbit.  Its velocity in each of these situations is different.

-- The question reveals only the satellite's mass, but the answer
doesn't depend on that number.  The satellite's velocity depends
on the speed of the truck or the rocket carrying it, or the size of
the orbit it's in.  The question doesn't give any of these.

==> In particular, the size of a satellite's orbit, or its speed in that
orbit, DO NOT depend on its mass.

For example: 
There are hundreds of TV satellites ... the ones that match the
Earth's rotation and appear motionless in the sky.  They have
many different sizes, shapes, and masses, but they're all in the
same geostationary orbit, 22,000 miles above the equator, and
they all have the same average orbital velocity, zero displacement
per (23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds).

What is the work done if you push a tree with<br> 50 N of force but the tree does not move?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The work done is 0.

Explanation:

The reason no work is done is because the equation W = Fs.

W = work

F= force

s= displacement

In this scenario F = 50 and s= 0

Therefore.

W = 50(0)

W = 0

How are wave properties and energy related?<br> give me examples
klasskru [66]

Answer:

They don’t ‘represent’ anything, they are properties of the wave.

Depending on the type of wave, we experience them as various phenomena. For example, with a sound wave we experience frequency (or wavelength, which is just another way to describe the same property) as the pitch of the sound. We experience amplitude as the loudness of the sound, although due to the characteristics of the ear, frequency also effects perceived loudness.

If the wave is a light wave, we experience the frequency (wavelength) as the colour of the light, and the amplitude as the brightness of the light.

For many waves, we don’t perceive them at all (e.g. radio waves).

For ocean waves, frequency is the time for each peak or trough to reach us, and amplitude is how tall the wave is.

what was the temperature change in Celsius degree if it is changed from 44 degree fahrenheit to -56 degree fahrenheit​
wel

Answer:

-11.11 degree Celsius

Explanation:

The change was 44 degree fanhereit

To 56 degree fanhereit

Therefore the temperature range can be calculated as follows

56-44

= 12 degree fanhereit to Celsius

= 12-32×5/9

= -20×5/9

= 100/9

= -11.11 degree Celsius

From the top of a cliff, a person tosses a pebble straight downward with an initial velocity of -9.0 meters/second. After 0.50 s
Irina-Kira [14]
Y - yo = Vo*t - g * (t^2) / 2

Vo = - 9.0 m/s
t = 0.50 s

=> y - yo = -9.0 m/s * 0.5 s - 9.8 m/s^2 * (0.5s)^2 / 2 = - 4.5m - 1.225m = - 5.725 m.

Answer: option c) - 5.7
