During the first 6 years of its operation, the Hubble Space Telescope circled the Earth 37,000 times, for a total of 1,280,000,0

00 km. It takes the Hubble Space Telescope about 90 minutes to make one complete orbit. How fast is it traveling (in units of km/min)? Remember, distance = time x speed. Round your answer to the nearest integer and don't include the units for this answer.

Answer:

v = 384km/min

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of the Hubble space telescope, you first calculate the distance that Hubble travels for one orbit.

You know that 37000 times the orbit of Hubble are 1,280,000,000 km. Then, for one orbit you have:

d=\frac{1,280,000,000km}{37,000}=34,594.59km

You know that one orbit is completed by Hubble on 90 min. You use the following formula to calculate the speed:

v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{34,594.59km}{90min}=384.38\frac{km}{min}\approx384\frac{km}{min}

hence, the speed of the Hubble is approximately 384km/min

A 64.0 cm long cord is vibrating in such a manner that it forms a standing wave with two antinodes. (The cord is fixed at both e
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

the wave represents the second harmonic.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the cord, L = 64 cm

The first harmonic of a cord fixed at both ends is given as;

f_o = \frac{V}{2L}

The wavelength of a standing wave with two antinodes is calculated as follows;

L = N---> A -----> N    +   N ----> A -----> N

Where;

N is node

A is antinode

L = N---> A -----> N    +   N ----> A -----> N =  λ/2  + λ/2

L = λ

The harmonic is calculated as;

f = \frac{V}{\lambda} \\\\f = \frac{V}{L} = 2(\frac{V}{2L} ) = 2(f_o) = 2^{nd} \ harmonic

Therefore, the wave represents the second harmonic.

L = λ

Use the circuit diagram to decide if the lightbulb will light. Justify your answer.
podryga [215]

Answer:

The lightbulb will NOT light.

Explanation:

You put me in a difficult position.  I can't help it, but the "sample answer" is by far the best way to explain this, briefly and correctly.  There's no other choice but to copy it.

This is a short circuit. The branch without the bulb has almost no resistance, so all the current will flow through that branch instead of flowing through the bulb.

<em>If</em> the lower switch were <u>opened</u>, THEN we would have a series circuit.  Current would no longer have any other choice but to flow through the bulb, and the bulb would light.

The smallest detail visible with ground-based solar telescopes is about 1 arc second. How large a region (in km) does this repre
mestny [16]

Answer:

x = 727.5 km

Explanation:

With the conditions given using trigonometry, we can find the tangent

       tan θ = CO / CA

With CO the opposite leg and CE is the adjacent leg which is the distance from the Tierral to Sun

   

        D =150 10⁶ km (1000m / 1 km)

        D = 150 10⁹ m.

We must take the given angle to radians.

       1º  = 3600 arc s  

       π rad = 180º

       θ = 1 arc s (1º / 3600 s arc) (pi rad / 180º) =

       θ = 4.85 10⁻⁶ rad

That angle is extremely small, so we can approximate the tangent to the angle

     

       θ = x / D

       x = θ D

       x = 4.85 10-6  150 109

       x = 727.5 103 m

       x = 727.5 km
