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

Which of the following has the most momentum?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:you riding your bike at 12m/s

Explanation: this is because momentum P = mass x velocity. With a bigger mass and a velocity of about 12m/s, you really have a great momentum.

A 45.00 kg person in a 43.00 kg cart is coasting with a speed of 19 m/s before it goes up a hill. there is no friction, what is
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

the maximum vertical height the person in the cart can reach is 18.42 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the person in cart, m₁ = 45 kg

mass of the cart, m₂ = 43 kg

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

final speed of the cart before it goes up the hill, v = 19 m/s

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2_{max}\\\\ gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}v^2_{max}\\\\h_{max} = \frac{v^2_{max}}{2g} \\\\h_{max} =\frac{(19)^2}{2\times 9.8} \\\\h_{max} = 18.42 \ m

Therefore, the maximum vertical height the person in the cart can reach is 18.42 m

A block with a mass M = 4.85 kg is resting on a slide that has a curved surface. There is no friction. The speed of the block af
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The correct option is a

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the block is  m =  4.84 \ kg

    The height of the vertical  drop is h =  19.6 \  m

Generally from the law of energy conservation , the potential energy at the top  of the slide is equal to the kinetic energy at the point after sliding this can be mathematically represented as

        PE  =  KE

i.e     m *  g  *   h   =  \frac{1}{2} *  m *  v^2

=>    gh  =  0.5 v^2

=>   v = \sqrt{\frac{9.8 *  19.6}{0.5 } }

=>    v = 19.6 \  m/s
