Answer:

T = 7101 s = 118.35 mins = 1.9725 hrs

Explanation:

To solve the question, we apply the formula for gravitational acceleration

a = GM/r², where

a = acceleration due to gravity

G = gravitational constant

M = mass of the earth

r = distance between the satellite and center of the earth

Now, if we make r, subject of formula, we have

r = √(GM/a)

Recall also, that

a = v²/r, making v subject of formula

v = √ar

If we substitute the equation of r into it, we have

v =√a * √r

v =√a * √[√(GM/a)]

v = (GM/a)^¼

Again, remember that period,

T = 2πr/v, we already have v and r, allow have to do is substitute them in

T = 2π * √(GM/a) * [1 / (GM/a)^¼]

T = 2π * (GM/a³)^¼

T = 2 * 3.142 * [(6.67*10^-11 * 5.97*10^24) / (6.25³)]^¼

T = 6.284 * [(3.982*10^14) / 244.140]^¼

T = 6.284 * (1.63*10^12)^¼

T = 6.284 * 1130

T = 7101 s

T = 118.35 mins

T = 1.9725 hrs

An experiment is carried out to measure the extension of a rubber band for different loads.
PtichkaEL [24]

Complete question is;

An experiment is carried out to measure the extension of a rubber band for different loads.

The results are shown in the image attached.

What figure is missing from the table?

Answer:

17.3 cm

Explanation:

The image attached showed values for load, extension and initial length.

Now, the first length there is 15.2 cm and as such it's corresponding extension is 0 because it has no preceding measured length.

The second measured length is 16.2 cm. Since it's initial measured length is 15.2 cm, then the extension has a formula; final length - initial length.

This gives: 16.2 - 15.2 = 1 cm

This corresponds to what is given in the table.

For the next measured length, it is blank but we are given the extension to be 2.1 cm. Now, since the initial measured length is 15.2 cm.

Thus;

2.1 cm = Final length - 15.2 cm

Final length = 15.2 + 2.1

Final length = 17.3 cm

How long (in seconds) does it take a car accelerating at 3.1 m/s2 to go from rest<br> to 51 m/s?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

 t  = 16.5s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Acceleration = 3.1m/s²

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Final velocity  = 51m/s

Unknown:

Time taken  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we need to reiterate that acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

So;

        Acceleration  = \frac{v  - u }{t}  

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

  So;

       3.1  = \frac{51 - 0}{t}  

    3.1t  = 51

       t  = 16.5s

These the flow of electrons (the current) and where some of the electrons' energy gets converted into heat. (Lessons 5.01-5.03)
liq [111]

Answer:

Conductors.

Explanation:

Conductors allow the flow of electrons i. e. the current and where some of the electrons energy gets converted into heat while some electrons energy converted into light. Conductors are the materials which has the ability to allow heat and electricity to flow through them. Metals such as gold, copper, Silver, Aluminum, Mercury, Steel, Iron and salty water etc are good conductors of heat and electricity.
