Answer: 5,640 s (94 minutes)

Explanation:

the tangential speed of the HST is given by

$v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}$ (1)

where

$2\pi r$ is the length of the orbit

r is the radius of the orbit

T is the orbital period

In our problem, we know the tangential speed: $v=7,750 m/s$ . The radius of the orbit is the sum of the Earth's radius and the distance of the HST above Earth's surface:

$r=6.38\cdot 10^6 m+569,000 m=6.95\cdot 10^6 m$

So, we can re-arrange equation (1) to find the orbital period:

$T=\frac{2 \pi r}{v}=\frac{2 \pi (6.95\cdot 10^6 m/s)}{7,750 m/s}=5,640 s$

Dividing by 60, we get that this time corresponds to 94 minutes.

An upward force of 32.6 N is applied via a string to lift a ball with a mass of 2.8 kg. (a) What is the gravitational force acti

Igoryamba

Answer:

a) Fg = -27.4 N

b) Fnet = 5.2 N

c) a = 1.9 m/s2

Explanation:

a)

There are two forces acting on the ball, one directed upward (assuming this direction as positive, along the y-axis) which is the tension on the string (lifting force), and another aimed downward, which is the attractive force due to gravity.
Applying the Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to a mass close to the surface of the Earth (in this case the ball), we can take the acceleration due to gravity like a constant, that we call by convention g, equal to -9.8 m/s2.
So, we can write the following expression for Fg:

$F_{g} = m*g = 2.8 kg*(-9.8m/s2) = -27.4 N (1)$

b)

The net force on the ball, will be just the difference between the lifting force (32.6 N) and the force due to gravity, Fg:

$F_{net} = T -F_{g} = 32.6 N - 27.4 N = 5.2 N (2)$

c)

According Newton's 2nd Law, the acceleration caused by a net force on a point mass (we can take the ball as one) is given by the following expression:

$a = \frac{F_{net} }{m} = \frac{5.2N}{2.8kg} = 1.9 m/s2 (3)$

A current of 5 A is flowing in a 20 mH inductor. The energy stored in the magnetic field of this inductor is:_______

Kipish [7]

Answer:

C. 0.25J

Explanation:

Energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is expressed as E = 1/2LI² where;

L is the inductance

I is the current flowing in the inductor

Given parameters

L = 20mH = 20×10^-3H

I = 5A

Required

Energy stored in the magnetic field.

E = 1/2 × 20×10^-3 × 5²

E = 1/2 × 20×10^-3 × 25

E = 10×10^-3 × 25

E = 0.01 × 25

E = 0.25Joules.

Hence the energy stored in the magnetic field of this inductor is 0.25Joules

Which of the following BEST describes a deer?

ad-work [718]

If we go down the list,

It wouldn’t be Primary Producer because Deer don’t really produce anything

Can’t be Carnivore because deer don’t eat meat

Same with tertiary

They do eat plants. So it would have to be the last one

A 4.0 kg circular disk slides in the x- direction on a frictionless horizontal surface with a speed of 5.0 m/s as shown in the a

finlep [7]

Solution :

Let $m_1=m_2=4$ kg

$u_1 = 5$ m/s

Let $v_1$ and $v_2$ are the speeds of the disk $m_1$ and $m_2$ after the collision.

So applying conservation of momentum in the y-direction,

$0=m_1 .v_1_y -m_2 .v_2_y$

$v_1_y = v_2_y$

$v_1 . \sin 60=v_2. \sin 30$

$v_2 = v_1 \times \frac{\sin 60}{\sin 30}$

$v_2=1.732 \times v_1$

Therefore, the disk 2 have greater velocity and hence more kinetic energy after the collision.

Now applying conservation of momentum in the x-direction,

$m_1.u_1=m_1.v_1_x+m_2.v_2_x$

$u_1=v_1_x+v_2_x$

$5=v_1. \cos 60 + v_2 . \cos 30$

$5=v_1. \cos 60 + 1.732 \times v_1 \cos 30$

$v_1 = 2.50$ m/s

So, $v_2 = 1.732 \times 2.5$

= 4.33 m/s

Therefore, speed of the disk 2 after collision is 4.33 m/s

The information about groundwater recorded by a student is valid when

skelet666 [1.2K]

Such information is valid when A. it is not biased.
There is no bias in science - the results are either correct or incorrect; personal opinions have nothing to do with that. B is incorrect because the point of experiments is that they can be repeated to achieve the same results. C and D are likewise incorrect as primary sources are important, and you can share the results with others if you want to.
