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.

A small metal bar whose initial temperature was 20 degrees Celsius is dropped into a large container of boiling water. How long
Vesnalui [34]
Below is the answer. I hope it help.
T ( t ) = C e k t + T m where Tm is the temperature of the surroundings 
T ( t ) = C e k t + T m
T ( 0 ) = 20
T ( 1 ) = T ( 0 ) + 2 = 22
C + T m = 20 C+Tm=20 
C e k + T m = 22

A bicycle moves 3 m/s how far it will go in 30 seconds
satela [25.4K]

The distance travelled by the bike can be calculated by using the basic relationship between speed (v), distance (S) and time (t):

v=\frac{S}{t}

Rearranging the equation, we get

S=vt

The speed of the bike is v=3 m/s, the time is t=30 s, so the distance travelled by the bike is

S=vt=(3 m/s)(30 s)=90 m
