A satellite is orbiting Earth in an approximately circular path. It completes one revolution each day (86,400 seconds). Its orbi

tal distance is 22,500 kilometers from the Earth's center. What is the satellite's average speed?

Well, speed is always relative to some reference, and you haven't
specified the reference.  Also, you haven't specified the "tilt" of the
satellite's orbit relative to the Earth's equator.

So I'm going to pick the ones I like for both items:

-- For the satellite's average speed, I choose the reference
to be the center of the little satellite-TV dish on the corner of
my neighbor's garage roof.

-- For the satellite's orbital inclination, I choose zero.  That is,
the satellite's orbit is directly over Earth's equator. 

If you'll allow me those two assumptions, then your bird is
a communications satellite, located at the magic latitude
and distance from Earth where its orbital revolution matches
the Earth's rotation.  Viewed from anywhere on Earth, the
satellite's average speed is zero, and it appears to hang
motionless in the sky.

You need to make a very dilute solution of sodium phosphate dihydrate (MW 142 g/mol, FW 178 g/mol). How many grams of sodium pho
dlinn [17]

Answer:

first question is 178 g of sodium phosphate dihydrate. second question is 0.25 mL

Explanation:

To know the number of grams from the number of moles (0.5L*2mol/L)= 1mol. 1 mol is equal to 178 g. Second question mL of the stock is obtained from (0.1L*5.0^-3mol/L)/2mol/L.

# A cheetah can start from rest and attain the velocity 72km/h in 2 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of cheetah
yan [13]

Answer:

<h2>10 \: m/s ^2</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

Solution,

When a certain object comes in motion from rest, in the case, initial velocity = 0 m/s

Initial velocity ( u ) = 0 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 72 km/h ( Given)

We have to convert 72 km /h in m/s

72 \: km \: per \: hour

= 72 \times  \frac{1000}{60  \times 60}

= 20 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time taken ( t ) = 2 seconds

Acceleration (a) = ?

Now,

we have,

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

a =  \frac{20 - 0}{2}

a =  \frac{20}{2}

a = 10 m/s ^2

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

Calculate the force experienced by a positive test charge of 8.1 × 10-9 coulombs if the electric field strength is 9.4 × 107 new
Arte-miy333 [17]
The electric force exerted by an electric field of intensity E on a charge q is equal to the product between E and q, so:
F=qE=(8.1 \cdot 10^{-9}C)(9.4 \cdot 10^7 N/C)=0.76 N
