Calculate the velocity of a 1650 kilogram satellite.

Physics

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).

Why are hot springs and geysers is found in areas of present or a past activity
Lady_Fox [76]
<span>Hot springs and geysers are often found in areas of present or past volcanic activity. The hot spring forms when water deep underground is heated by a nearby body of magma or hot rock. The hot water rises and collects in a natural pool; when rising hot water and steam become trapped in a narrow crack, pressure builds until the mixture sprays above the surface as a geyser.</span>

Membrane walls of living cells have surprisingly large electric fields across them due to separation of ions. (Membranes are dis
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Voltage, V = 0.0524 volts

Explanation:

Thickness of the membrane, d=7.95\ nm=7.95\times 10^{-9}\ m

Electric field strength, E=6.6\ MV/m=6.6\times 10^6\ V/m

We need to find the voltage across it. The relationship between the voltage, electric field and the distance is given by :

V=E\times d

V=6.6\times 10^6\ V/m\times 7.95\times 10^{-9}

V = 0.0524 volts

So, the voltage across the thick membrane is 0.0524 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.

Most landfills contain very little air and moisture, which many microorganisms need to survive. How do you think these condition
Orlov [11]

Since substances break down much faster under aerobic conditions, as oxygen helps break the molecules apart, in a process called oxidation, biodegradation that actually takes place does so slowly that effects may not be visible in decades after a product was buried, if even then.

A proton experiences a force of 4 Newton when it enters perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field with a speed 100 m/
____ [38]

Answer:

F = 0 N

Explanation:

Force on a moving charge in constant magnetic field is given by the formula

F = q(\vec v\times \vec B)

so here it depends on the speed of charge, magnetic field and the angle between velocity of charge and the magnetic field

here when charge is moving with speed 100 m/s in a given magnetic field then the force on the charge is given as

F = 4 N

now when charge is moving parallel to the magnetic field with different speed then in that case

\vec v \time \vec B = 0

so here we have

F = 0
