Answer:

a) the one with a lower orbit    b) the one with a higher  orbit

Explanation:

Let's consider orbital mechanics. To get an object in orbit, we need it to fall to earth parallel to the earth's surface. To understand it easily imagine a projectile thrown horizontally further and further away, at one point, the projectile hits the cannon from behind. Considering there is no wind resistance, that would be a projecile in orbit.

In other words, the circular orbits of some objects around a massive body are due to the equality between centrifugal acceleration and gravity acceleration.

\frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{GM}{r^2}.

so the velocity is

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }

where "G" is the gravitational constant, "M" the mass of the massive body and "r" the distance between the object and the center of gravity of mass M. As you can note, if "r" increase, "v" decrease.

The orbital period of any object in orbit is

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{a^3}{GM} }

where "a" is length of semi-major axis (a = r in circular orbits). So if "r" increase, "T" increase.

1. 12m/s and here’s how. The equation for calculating velocity of a wave is lambda x frequency. So 2m x 6Hz. Hz can be 1/s so the only unit of measurement we get is meters and seconds. So the answer will be 12m/s.

2. Frequency=2Hz period= 0.5 seconds
Equation for frequency is velocity/wavelength. 10m/s divides by 5m = 2Hz.
Equation for period is 1 / frequency. 1 divided by 2 = 0.5 seconds

3. The answer is the picture of you can’t read my hand writing comment and say “ I need the info about the wave because I can’t read your hand writing “ thank you and I hoped I helped

If 30.45 grams of water is to be heated up 3.3 degrees to make baby
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

A. 420 J

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 30.45 g

Specific heat capacity = 4.18 J/g °C.

Temperature = 3.3°C

To find the quantity of heat;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mct

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

t represents the temperature.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Q = 30.45 * 4.18 * 3.3

Q = 420.03 ≈ 420 Joules
