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

T’s orbital period? The radius of Earth is 6.38 × 106 m.

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.

a bal is launched upward with a velocity of v0 from the edge of a cliff of height D. it reaches a maximum height of H above its

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

D/H =15

Explanation:

We can find first the peak height H, taking into consideration, that at the maximum height, the ball will reach momentarily to a stop.
At this point, we can find the value of H, applying the following kinematic equation:

$v_{f} ^{2} -v_{0} ^{2} = 2* g* H (1)$

If vf=0, if we assume that the positive direction is upwards, we can find the value of H as follows:

$H = \frac{v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g} (2)$

We can use the same equation, to find the value of D, as follows:

$v_{f} ^{2} -v_{1} ^{2} = 2* g* D (3)$

In order to find v₁, we can use the same kinematic equation that we used to get H, but now, we know that v₀ = 0.
When we replace these values in (1), we find that v₁ = -v₀.
Replacing in (3), we have:

$(4*v_{0})^{2} - (-v_{0}) ^{2} = 2* g* D\\ \\ 15*v_{0}^{2} = 2*g*D$

Solving for D:

$D = \frac{15*v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g}$

From (2) we know that H can be expressed as follows:

$H = \frac{v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g}$

⇒ D = 15 * H

$\frac{D}{H} = 15$

An 89 kg man drops from rest on a diving board −3.1 m above the surface of the water and comes to rest 0.5 s after reaching the

OLga [1]

To solve this problem we will use the linear motion kinematic equations, for which the change of speed squared with the acceleration and the change of position. The acceleration in this case will be the same given by gravity, so our values would be given as,

$m= 89 kg\\x = 3.1 m\\t = 0.5s\\a = g = 9.8m/s^2$

Through the aforementioned formula we will have to

$v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax$

The particulate part of the rest, so the final speed would be

$v_f^2 = 2gx$

$v_f=\sqrt{2(9.8)(3.1)}$

$v_f = 7.79m/s$

Now from Newton's second law we know that

$F = ma$

Here,

m = mass

a = acceleration, which can also be written as a function of velocity and time, then

$F = m\frac{dv}{dt}$

Replacing we have that,

$F = (89)\frac{7.79}{0.5}$

$F = 1386.62N$

Therefore the force that the water exert on the man is 1386.62

A 500-N weight sits on the small piston of a hydraulic machine. The small piston has area 2.0 cm2. If the large piston has area

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

W₂= 10000 N

Explanation:

Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:

If we apply a small force (F1) on a small area piston A1, then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F2) can be exerted that is proportional to the area (A2) of the piston:

Pressure is defined as the force (F) applied per unit area (A)

P=F/A (N/m²)

P1=P2

$\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } = \frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }$

$F_{2} = \frac{F_{1}*A_{2} }{A_{1}}$ Equation (1)

Data

W₁ = weight sits on the small piston

F₁ = W₁= 500 N

A₁ = 2.0 cm²

A₂ = 40 cm²

Calculation of the weight (W₂) can the large piston support

We replace data in the equation (1)

$F_{2} = \frac{(500)*(40) }{2}$

F₂ = 10000 N

W₂= F₂= 10000 N
