The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) orbits 569 km above Earth’s surface. If HST has a tangential speed of 7,750 m/s, how long is HS

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.

What are the 3 Newton's law of motions?
irinina [24]

Answer:

laws of motion relate an object’s motion to the forces acting on it. In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

The focal length of the lens of a simple digital camera is 40 mm, and it is originally focused on a person 25 m away. In what di
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here image distance is fixed .

In the first case if v be image distance

1 / v - 1 / -25 = 1 / .05

1 / v = 1 / .05 - 1 / 25

= 20 - .04 = 19.96

v = .0501 m = 5.01 cm

In the second case

u = 4 ,

1 / v - 1 / - 4 = 1 / .05

1 / v = 20 - 1 / 4 = 19.75

v = .0506 = 5.06 cm

So lens must be moved forward by 5.06 - 5.01 =  .05 cm ( away from film )

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

<h2>23.33 kg </h2>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m  = \frac{42}{1.8}   = 23.3333... \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>23.33 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you
