Given that,

radius, r = 4.23 x 10∧7 m

Period, T = ?

Since, we know that,

In a geosynchronous satellite, period is equal to the period of earth that is 24 hrs.

Therefore, Time period is equal to 24 hours.

You and a friend work in buildings five equal-length blocks apart, and you plan to meet for lunch. Your friend strolls leisurely

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Your friend is 2.143 blocks from the restaurant.

You are 2.857 blocks from the restaurant.

Explanation:

Let t be the time both you and your friend take to walk to the restaurant.

The distance (m) from your building to the restaurant is your walking time t times your speed v1

$s_1 = v_1t = 1.6t$

Similarly the distance (m) from your friend building to the restaurant:

$s_2 = v_2t = 1.2t$

Let b be the length (in m) of a block, the total distance of 5 blocks is 5b

$s_1 + s_2 = 5b$

$1.6t + 1.2t = 5b$

$2.8t = 5b$

$t = 5b/2.8 = 25b/14$

$s_2 = 1.2t = 1.2(25b/14) = 2.143b$

So your friend are 2.143b meters from the restaurant, since each block is b meters long, 2.143b meters would equals to 2.143b/b = 2.143 blocks. And you are 5 - 2.143 = 2.857 blocks from the restaurant.

What angle is formed by the sun, the earth, and the moon during an eclipse?.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

The Sun-Earth-Moon system happens to exhibit a striking geometric coincidence, which we examine in the first problem. PROBLEM 1. To an observer on Earth, the Sun and the Moon subtend almost the same angle in the sky. The average angle is 0.52 degrees for the Moon and 0.53 degrees for the Sun.

In 1977 off the coast of Australia, the fastest speed by a vessel on the water

fenix001 [56]

Answer: 154.08 m/s

Explanation:

Average acceleration $a_{ave}$ is the variation of velocity $\Delta V$ over a specified period of time $\Delta t$ :

$a_{ave}=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}}$

Where:

$a_{ave}=1.80 m/s^{2}$

$\Delta V=V_{f}-V_{o}$ being $V_{o}=0$ the initial velocity and $V_{f}$ the final velocity

$\Delta t=85.6 s$

Then:

$a_{ave}=\frac{V_{f}-V_{o}}{\Delta t}}$

Since $V_{o}=0$ :

$a_{ave}=\frac{V_{f}}{\Delta t}}$

Finding $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}=a_{ave} \Delta t$

$V_{f}=(1.80 m/s^{2})(85.6 s)$

Finally:

$V_{f}=154.08 m/s$
