Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for times period of a satellite can be given as follows

Time period T = 1.8 x 60 x 60

= 6480

T² = \frac{4\times \pi^2\times r^3}{GM} where T is time period , r is radius of orbit , G is gravitational constant and M is mass of the satellite.

6480² = 4 x 3.14² x 7.5³ x 10¹⁸ / GM

GM = 4 x 3.14² x 7.5³ x 10¹⁸ / 6480²

= 3.96 X 10¹⁴

Expression for acceleration due to gravity

g = GM / R² where R is radius of satellite

20 = 3.96 X 10¹⁴ / R²

R² = 3.96 X 10¹⁴ / 20

= 1.98 x 10¹³ m

R= 4.45 x 10⁶ m

What grade of sprain is a completely torn ligament?
Alex Ar [27]
Grade 1: Stretching or slight tearing of the ligament with mild tenderness, swelling and stiffness. The ankle feels stable and it is usually possible to walk with minimal pain.

Grade 2: A more severe sprain, but incomplete tear with moderate pain, swelling and bruising. Although it feels somewhat stable, the damaged areas are tender to the touch and walking is painful.

Grade 3: This is a complete tear of the affected ligament(s) with severe swelling and bruising. The ankle is unstable and walking is likely not possible because the ankle gives out and there is intense pain.

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

A. Tends to get shorter.

Explanation:

When a constant current is sent through a helical coil, then currents are different turns will be equal as well as in the same direction. As currents in same direction attract each other, hence coil tends to get shorter.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Geosphere

Explanation:

The Geosphere is the solid Earth,composed principally of rock (by which we mean any naturally formed, nonliving, firm coherent aggregate mass of solid matter that constitutes part of a planet).

The geosphere is defined to be that component of the Earth system involving the inside of the Earth, rocks and materials, minerals,  land forms and the mechanisms that shape the surface of the Earth. Contrary to Christopher Columbus, the Earth is not in itself a perfect sphere.

What are the SI units for liquid volume?
Gemiola [76]
SI units for volume don't care whether you use them to describe
a solid, a liquid, a gas, or a volume of vacuum.

The units are the liter, and the cubic meter (1,000 liters).
