The number 4 represents four atoms of iodine per molecule. Thyroxine is a type of hormone produced by the thyroid gland and this hormone controls human's metabolism process. There are two hormones produced by the thyroid gland, the thyroxine and the triiodothyronine, which also control human's metabolism process. These hormones consisted of iodine atoms in each of the molecule, which human gets from eating salt.

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
deff fn [24]

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 negative charge is at rest at the origin of an axis system. Location x is at coordinate point (2m,3m) while location y is at (
Sergeu [11.5K]
The magnitude of the E-field decreases as the square of the distance from the charge, just like gravity.

Location ' x ' is  √(2² + 3²) = √13 m  from the charge.

Location ' y ' is √ [ (-3)² + (-2)² ] = √13 m from the charge.

The magnitude of the E-field is the same at both locations.

The direction is also the same at both locations ... it points toward the origin.
