How many seconds will it take for a the International Space Station to travel 450 km at a rate of 100 m/s?

SVEN [57.7K]

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (450 km) / (100 m/s)

Time = (450,000 m) / (100 m/s)

Time = <em>4500 seconds </em>(that's 75 minutes)

Note:

This is about HALF the speed of the passenger jet you fly in when you go to visit Grandma for Christmas.

If the International Space Station flew at this speed, it would immediately go ker-PLUNK into the ocean.

The speed of the International Space Station in its orbit is more like 3,100 m/s, not 100 m/s.

When you hold a frozen banana treat in your hands, which statement BEST describes what is taking place? A. Heat is flowing from

Andrej [43]

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

It is A because your body heat is warmer than the banana and when you hold it the heat is transferring over.

At which type of boundary between two tectonic plates is an earthquake or a tsunami most likely to form?

Fofino [41]

Answer:

B. convergent boundary

Explanation:

Convergent boundaries, where ocean plates are subducted at trenches, produce the most tsunamis because they produce the largest earthquakes

What is the equation describing the motion of a mass on the end of a spring which is stretched 8.8 cm from equilibrium and then

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

$x=(0.088m)\cos(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } t)$

Explanation:

We first identify the elements of this simple harmonic motion:

The amplitude A is 8.8cm, because it's the maximum distance the mass can go away from the equilibrium point. In meters, it is equivalent to 0.088m.

The angular frequency ω can be calculated with the formula:

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

Where k is the spring constant and m is the mass of the particle.

Now, since the spring starts stretched at its maximum, the appropriate function to use is the positive cosine in the equation of simple harmonic motion:

$x=A\cos(\omega t)$

Finally, the equation of the motion of the system is:

$x=(0.088m)\cos(\omega t)$

$x=(0.088m)\cos(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } t)$

Please help answer question

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

C = 1.01

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 75 kg

The terminal velocity of the mass, $v_t=60\ m/s$

Area of cross section, $A=0.33\ m^2$

We need to find the drag coefficient. At terminal velocity, the weight is balanced by the drag on the object. So,

R = W

$\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv_t^2=mg$

Where

$\rho$ is the density of air = 1.225 kg/m³

C is drag coefficient

So,

$C=\dfrac{2mg}{\rho Av_t^2}\\\\C=\dfrac{2\times 75\times 9.8}{1.225\times 0.33\times (60)^2}\\\\C=1.01$

So, the drag coefficient is 1.01.
