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 scientist observes rock masses that have moved past each other in opposite horizontal directions. Which feature
Reil [10]

Answer:

C. strike-slip fault

Explanation:

The scientist must have observed a strike- slip fault.

A fault is an evidence of brittle deformation of the crust in the presence of applied stress on earth materials. Here, the earth material is the rock subjected to tension.

Where a fault occurs, there must have been movement between two blocks of rocks. The direction of movement helps us to delineate the fault type.

  • When two blocks moves past each other horizontally, it is a strike-slip fault like rubbing your palms together.
  • When a block moves in the direction of the dip, it forms a dip-slip fault which results in a fault-block mountain characterized by graben and horst systems.

Option A, Plateau is a table landform usually a mountain with flat peak.

Option B is a bowl shaped stratigraphic pattern in which the youngest sequence is at the core of the strata or a fold.

So, the most fitting option is C, a strike-slip fault.

5. A family of ducks is swimming in a pond at a speed of 3 m/s when a gust of wind hits them. By the time they reach the other s
ella [17]

Answer:

The time taken by the duck to cross the lake is, t= 4 s

Explanation:

Given data,

The initial speed of the ducks, u = 3 m/s

The final speed of the ducks, v = 7 m/s

The acceleration of the duck, a = 1 m/s²

The formula for the acceleration is,

                               a = (v - u) / t

∴                               t = (v - u) / a

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                                t = (7 - 3) / 1

                                  = 4 s

Hence, the time taken by the duck to cross the lake is, t= 4 s

Hello everyone. This is a question about Dimensional Analysis and I came across this question but I am unable to wrap my head ar
omeli [17]

Answer:

2. [B] = [L]/[T] and [C] = [L]/[T]

Explanation:

I assume you mean this:

A = B² + 2B⁴/C²

Since you can't add numbers with different units (for example, you can't add seconds to meters), each term in the sum must have the same units as A.

B² = [L]²/[T]²

B = [L]/[T]

B⁴/C² = [L]²/[T]²

C²/B⁴ = [T]²/[L]²

C² = B⁴ [T]²/[L]²

C² = ([L]/[T])⁴ [T]²/[L]²

C² = [L]²/[T]²

C = [L]/[T]

Notice we ignore the 2 coefficient, which is unitless.

In 0.60 seconds, a projectile goes from 0 to 610 m/s. What is the acceleration of the projectile?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: a=1016.66 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Acceleration a is expressed in the following formula:

a=\frac{V_{f}-V_{o}}{t}

Where:

V_{f}=610 m/s is the final velocity of the projectile

V_{o}=0 m/s  is the initial velocity of the projectile

t=0.6 s is the time

Solving:

a=\frac{610 m/s-0 m/s}{0.6 s}

a=1016.66 m/s^{2} This is the acceleration of the projectile

A bike accelerates uniformly(from rest to a speed of 7 m/s over a distance of 40 m. Determine
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

0.61 m/s^2

Explanation:

The bike's acceleration can be found by using the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity of the bike

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance covered

For the bike in the problem,

u = 0

v = 7 m/s

d = 40 m

Solving the equation for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{7^2-0}{2(40)}=0.61 m/s^2
