<u>Distance = 12 m</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Distance covered by the runner is same as the total path that he has ran. Here, a person starts at 0 position and goes in one direction to position 12 m. Since the initial point is 0 and the final position is 12, the total distance is calculated by adding the 2 points as: 0+12 = 12 m. So the distance covered and the displacement both are same which is 12 meters.

Distance traveled is the full length of the path covered between two points. It is not a vector and the direction is nil and no negative sign. Example : The distance walked by the teacher is 3.0 m ,The distance walked by a passenger is 5.0 m. Also, the distance traveled need not be equal to the magnitude of the displacement which is the distance between the two positions.

A man-made satellite of mass 6105 kg is in orbit around the earth, making one revolution in 430 minutes. What is the magnitude o

blondinia [14]

Answer:

A gravitational force of 6841.905 newtons is exerted on the satellite by the Earth.

Explanation:

At first we assume that Earth is represented by an uniform sphere, such that the man-made satellite rotates in a circular orbit around the planet. Hence, the following condition must be satisfied:

$\left(\frac{4\pi^{2}}{T^{2}} \right)\cdot r = \frac{G\cdot M}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$T$ - Period of rotation of the satellite, measured in seconds.

$r$ - Distance of the satellite with respect to the center of the planet, measured in meters.

$G$ - Gravitational constant, measured in newton-square meters per square kilogram.

$M$ - Mass of the Earth, measured in kilograms.

Now we clear the distance of the satellite with respect to the center of the planet:

$r^{3} = \frac{G\cdot M\cdot T^{2}}{4\pi^{2}}$

$r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{G\cdot M\cdot T^{2}}{4\pi^{2}} }$ (2)

If we know that $G = 6.67\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{kg^{2}}$ , $M = 6.0\times 10^{24}\,kg$ and $T = 25800\,s$ , then the distance of the satellite is:

$r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{\left(6.67\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{kg^{2}} \right)\cdot (6.0\times 10^{24}\,kg)\cdot (25800\,s)^{2}}{4\pi^{2}} }$

$r \approx 18.897\times 10^{6}\,m$

The gravitational force exerted on the satellite by the Earth is determined by the Newton's Law of Gravitation:

$F = \frac{G\cdot m\cdot M}{r^{2}}$ (3)

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the satellite, measured in kilograms.

$F$ - Force exerted on the satellite by the Earth, measured in newtons.

If we know that $G = 6.67\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{kg^{2}}$ , $M = 6.0\times 10^{24}\,kg$ , $m = 6105\,kg$ and $r \approx 18.897\times 10^{6}\,m$ , then the gravitational force is:

$F = \frac{\left(6.67\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{kg^{2}} \right)\cdot (6105\,kg)\cdot (6\times 10^{24}\,kg)}{(18.897\times 10^{6}\,m)^{2}}$

$F = 6841.905\,N$

A gravitational force of 6841.905 newtons is exerted on the satellite by the Earth.

Tomorrow i have a science test, could someone please fill me in on the water cycle?

Lorico [155]

the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere and land involving precipitation as rain and snow drainage in streams and rivers and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.

Hope this gives you a little bit more information!
