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.

amid [387]

Answer:

Number of slices of pizza is 993.

Explanation:

It is given that,  in one slice of "everything" pizza there are 650 Calories. The conversion factor from calories to joules is :

1 calorie = 4.184 joules

650 calories = 2719.6 joules

Total energy in the pizza, E = 2700000 J

Let there are n number of slices of pizza. It is given by :

n=\dfrac{2700000}{2719.6}

n = 992.79

or

n = 993

So, there are 993 slices of pizza. Hence, this is the required solution.

lilavasa [31]

Answer: Analog transfer information quicker, example electromagnetic waves which are used in our modern day phones.

Explanation:  Digital signals are a more reliable form of transmitting information because an error in the amplitude or frequency value would have to be very large in order to cause a jump to a different value. Signals are composed of infinite possible values. Signals are composed of only two possible values: 0 or 1.
