For each revolution, the satellite covers the circumference
of its orbit.

The circumference of a circle is    (pi) x (diameter).

Since the satellite is 22,500 miles from the center, that number
is the radius of the circle.  The diameter is  45,000 miles.

The circumference is    (pi) x (45,000 miles) = 141,372 miles
                                                                        
The satellite's average speed is  141,372 miles per day, or

       (141,372 / 24) = 5,890 miles per hour

relative to the center of the Earth.

A python can detect thermal radiation from objects that differ in temperature from their environment as long as the received int
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

10.52 m

Explanation:

The power radiated by a body is given by

P = σεAT⁴ where ε = emissivity = 0.97, T = temperature = 30 C + 273 = 303 K, A = surface area of human body = 1.8 m², σ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁴ W/m²K⁴

P = σεAT⁴ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴ ×  0.97 × 1.8 m² × (303)⁴ = 834.45 W

This is the power radiated by the human body.

The intensity I = P/A where A = 4πr² where r = distance from human body.

I = P/4πr²

r = (√P/πI)/2

If the python is able to detect an intensity of 0.60 W/m², with a power of 834.45 W emitted by the human body, the maximum distance r, is thus

r = (√P/πI)/2 = (√834.45/0.60π)/2 = 21.04/2 = 10.52 m

So, the maximum distance at which a python could detect your presence is 10.52 m.

To test the quality of a tennis ball, you drop it onto the floor from a height of 4.00 m. It rebounds to a height of 2.00 m. If
arlik [135]

Answer:

Part a)

a = 1260.3 m/s^2

Part b)

Direction = upwards

Explanation:

When ball is dropped from height h = 4.0 m

then the speed of the ball just before it will strike the ground is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_1^2 - 0^2 = 2(9.81)(4.0)

v_1 = 8.86 m/s

Now ball will rebound to height h = 2.00 m

so the velocity of ball just after it will rebound is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - v_2^2 = 2(-9.81)(2.00)

v_2 = 6.26 m/s

Part a)

Average acceleration is given as

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}

a = \frac{6.26 - (-8.86)}{12.0 \times 10^{-3}}

a = 1260.35 m/s^2

Part B)

As we know that ball rebounds upwards after collision while before collision it is moving downwards

So the direction of the acceleration is vertically upwards

A person who normally weighs 580 N is riding in an elevator that is moving upward, but slowing down at a steady rate. If this pe
Zanzabum

Answer:

M au = Fs - M g       au = upwards acceleration; Fs = scale reading

Fs = M (au + g)    scalar quantities where g is positive downwards and au is positive upwards - Fs is the net force acting on the person

If the acceleration is zero Fs = M g  and the scale reads the persons weight

If the elevator is decelerating then au is negative and the scale reading     Fs = (g - au) M     and the scale reading is less than the weight of the person

Atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons

Atomic mass - protons = neutrons

protons + neutrons = atomic mass

Weight of a man is less at coal mine.Why?
dmitriy555 [2]
If someone is underground, then therefore there is less planet/ground underneath them, so there would be less gravity. Gravity directly affects weight.
