Whenever two Apollo astronauts were on the surface of the Moon, a third astronaut orbited the Moon. Assume the orbit to be circu

inysia [295]

Answer:

$v = 1,582 \ \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

We know that for circular motion the centripetal acceleration $a_c$ is:

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

where v is the speed and r is the radius.

The centripetal acceleration for the astronaut must be the gravitational acceleration due to the gravity, as there are no other force. So

$a_c = 1.27 \frac{m}{s^2}$ .

The radius of the orbit must be the radius of the Moon, plus the 270 km above the surface

$r = 1.7 * 10^6 \ m + 270 \ km$

$r = 1.7 * 10^6 \ m + 270 * 10^3 \ m$

$r = 1.7 * 10^6 \ m + 0.270 * 10^6 \ m$

$r = 1.97 * 10^6 \ m$

We can obtain the speed as:

$v^2 = a_c r$

$v = \sqrt{a_c r}$

$v = \sqrt{1.27 \frac{m}{s^2} * 1.97 * 10^6 \ m}$

$v = \sqrt{ 2.509 \ 10^6 \ \frac{m^2}{s^2}}$

$v = 1.582 \ 10^3 \ \frac{m}{s}$

$v = 1,582 \ \frac{m}{s}$

And this is the orbital speed.

How this induced force can be increased? Write three ways.

Ludmilka [50]

Strength of induced current increased when strength of magnetic field increases. It will also increase when the number of turns are increased or if the speed of conductor increases

Which equation describes the sum of the vectors plotted below?

bearhunter [10]

Equation C describes the sum of the vectors plotted below.

<h3>What is a vector?</h3>

A vector is a quantity or phenomena with magnitude and direction that are independent of one another. The phrase also refers to a quantity's mathematical or geometrical representation.

If no vector can be written as a linear combination of the others, a set of vectors is said to be linearly independent.

The given points from the graph is obtained as;

a = (2,1)

b = (3,-2)

Vector, OA = 2x + y

Vector, AB = x - 3 y

From the triangular lawe of the vector addition;

$\rm r= \vec{OA} +\vec{OB}\\\\\ r= 2x+y+x-3y \\\\ r= 3x-2y$
