<span>The velocity of light is by far the greatest in air. There is nothing in air to stop or impede the movement of light in air. When light travels in air it will not stop unless running into clouds, smoke, smoke, droplets, or impurities. Any other substance is harder for light to travel through.</span>
<span>What we need to first do is split the ball's velocity into vertical and horizontal components. To do that multiply by the sin or cos depending upon if you're looking for the horizontal or vertical component. If you're uncertain as to which is which, look at the angle in relationship to 45 degrees. If the angle is less than 45 degrees, the larger value will be the horizontal speed, if the angle is greater than 45 degrees, the larger value will be the vertical speed. So let's calculate the velocities
sin(35)*18 m/s = 0.573576436 * 18 m/s = 10.32437585 m/s
cos(35)*18 m/s = 0.819152044 * 18 m/s = 14.7447368 m/s
Since our angle is less than 45 degrees, the higher velocity is our horizontal velocity which is 14.7447368 m/s.
To get the x positions for each moment in time, simply multiply the time by the horizontal speed. So
0.50 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 7.372368399 m
1.00 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 14.7447368 m
1.50 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 22.1171052 m
2.00 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 29.48947359 m
Rounding the results to 1 decimal place gives
0.50 s = 7.4 m
1.00 s = 14.7 m
1.50 s = 22.1 m
2.00 s = 29.5 m</span>
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.
