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

What occurs when waves overlap
IrinaK [193]
If you are talking about ocean waves crashing into each other, they would probably mostly cancel out with just a bit of motion left over. If you are talking about things like frequency and amplitude, overlapping waves would combine and amplify or suppress each other, depending on their direction, position, frequency and amplitude. If the two waves complement each other, they amplify; if they conflict with each other, they are suppressed.

Travka [436]

Answer:

a. Potential energy decreases and Kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

Because as he comes down due to its steepness the speed of the boy or you can say his KE increases and since he comes from a high position (hill) to the lower ground his potential energy decreases simultaneously
