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 unit is used for the value of G in Newton's Law of Universal<br> Gravitation?<br> *

Helga [31]

Answer:

In SI units, its value is approximately 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2. The modern notation of Newton's law involving G was introduced in the 1890s by C. V. Boys. The first implicit measurement with an accuracy within about 1% is attributed to Henry Cavendish in a 1798 experiment.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

$\mu = 1.645$

Explanation:

By Snell's law we know at the left surface

$\theta_i = 19^o$

$\theta_r = ?$

$\mu_1 = 1$

$\mu_2 = \mu$

now we have

$1 sin19 = \mu sin\theta_r$

$0.33 = \mu sin\theta_r$

now on the other surface we know that

angle of incidence = $\theta_r'$

$\theta_e = 90$

so again we have

$\mu sin\theta_r' = 1 sin90$

so we have

$\theta_r = sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu}$

$\theta_r' = sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu}$

also we know that

$\theta_r + \theta_r' = 49$

$sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu} + sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu} = 49$

By solving above equation we have

$\mu = 1.645$

Bob is threatening Tom’s life with a giant laser with wavelength (650 nm), a distance (D = 10 m) from the wall James is shackled

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

He should stand from the center of laser pointed on the wall at 1.3 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wave length = 650 nm

Distance =10 m

Double slit separation d = 5 μm

We need to find the position of fringe

Using formula of distance

$d\sin\theta=n\lambda$

$d\dfrac{y}{D}=n\lambda$

$y=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$

Put the value into the formula

$y=\dfrac{650\times10^{-9}\times10}{5\times10^{-6}}$

$y=1.3\ m$

Hence, He should stand from the center of laser pointed on the wall at 1.3 m.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

(b) In ideal condition we neglect mass of spring but in real springs mass of spring adds another factor to its time period.

since we are adding a factor of mass to the system, and frequency being inversely proportional to squared root of mass, we can come to a general conclusion that it effectively reduces the natural frequency .
