A 500 kg satellite is placed in a circular orbit 6394 km above the surface of the earth. At this elevation, the acceleration of

gravity is 4.09 m/s2. Knowing that its orbital speed is 20,000 km/h, determine the kinetic energy of the satellite. (Round the final answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

KE  = 7.7160 GJ

Explanation:

given data

mass = 500 kg

radius = 6394 km

acceleration of gravity = 4.09 m/s²

orbital speed = 20,000 km/h  = 20000 × \frac{1000}{3600}  = 5555.56 m/s

solution

we Kinetic energy is express as

KE = 0.5 × m × v²   .................1

here m is mass and v is velocity

put here value and we get

KE = 0.5 × 500 × 5555.56²

KE = 7716061728.400

KE  = 7.7160 GJ

If the rise and fall of your lungs is considered to be simple harmonic motion, how would you relate the period of the motion to
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Breaths per minute is a frequency. The period is its reciprocal.

Explanation:

In simple harmonic motion, a period (T) is the time taken for one point to start in a position and reach that position again, in other words to complete a cycle or lapse. In this case, a period is the time one takes from starting to inspire the air to releasing all of it from the lungs.

In simple harmonic motion, the frequency (f) is how many times a point completes a cycle or lapse in one unity of time (could be one second, one minute, one hour, etc). In this case, the frequency is how many times one breathes in one minute. This is the breathing rate, since it is breathings per minute. Breaths per minute is a frequency.

Period (T) and frequency (f) relate to each other in the following formulae: T=\frac{1}{f} or f=\frac{1}{T} .

Therefore, breaths per minute is a frequency, and since it is related to the period, we say the period is reciprocal to it.

A railroad car whose mass is 30,000. kg is traveling with a velocity of 2.2 m/s due east and collides with a second railroad car
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

V = 1.1 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of railroad car 1 , m =  30,000. kg

travelling at the speed , u = 2.2 m/s

mass of car 2, M =  30,000. kg

initial speed, u' = 0 m/s

final speed of the car after collision, V = ?

using conservation of momentum

  m u + M u' =  (M+m)V

 30000 x 2.2 + 0 = (30000 + 30000) V

  60000 V = 66000

  V= \dfrac{66000}{60000}

          V = 1.1 m/s

he velocity of the two cars is equal to V = 1.1 m/s

What can you do to mitigate these risks?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer: your question is incomplete, however I want you to know that there are four ways to mitigate a risk, these are:

avoid, accept, reduce/control, or transfer. Whatever the risk in your question is, it will definitely fit into any of the aforemened risk strategies.
