Hi there!
The period of an orbit can be found by:
T = Period (? s)
r = radius of orbit (6400000 m)
v = speed of the satellite (8000 m/s)
This is the same as the distance = vt equation. The total distance traveled by the satellite is the circumference of its circular orbit.
Let's plug in what we know and solve.
Answer:
Vf = 29.4 m/s
h = 44.1 m
Explanation:
Data:
- Initial Velocity (Vo) = 0 m/s
- Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
- Time (t) = 3 s
- Final Velocity (Vf) = ?
- Height (h) = ?
==================================================================
Final Velocity
Use formula:
- Vf = g * t
Replace:
- Vf = 9.8 m/s² * 3s
Multiply:
- Vf = 29.4 m/s
==================================================================
Height
Use formula:
Replace:
Multiply time squared:
Simplify the s², and multiply in the numerator:
It divides:
