Answer: 60mph

Explanation:

Given the following :

First leg travel:

Distance = 30 miles

Time of travel= 30 minutes = 0.5 hour

Second leg travel:

Distance = 60 miles

Time of travel = one hour

Average speed :

Speed = total Distance / time of travel

Total distance in miles = (30 + 60) miles = 90 miles

Total time of travel = 1 hour + 0.5 hour = 1.5 hours

Average speed = total distance traveled / total travel time

Average speed = 90 miles / 1.5 hours

Average speed = 60 miles / hour

= 60mph

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) orbits 569 km above Earth’s surface. If HST has a tangential speed of 7,750 m/s, how long is HS

deff fn [24]

Answer: 5,640 s (94 minutes)

Explanation:

the tangential speed of the HST is given by

$v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}$ (1)

where

$2\pi r$ is the length of the orbit

r is the radius of the orbit

T is the orbital period

In our problem, we know the tangential speed: $v=7,750 m/s$ . The radius of the orbit is the sum of the Earth's radius and the distance of the HST above Earth's surface:

$r=6.38\cdot 10^6 m+569,000 m=6.95\cdot 10^6 m$

So, we can re-arrange equation (1) to find the orbital period:

$T=\frac{2 \pi r}{v}=\frac{2 \pi (6.95\cdot 10^6 m/s)}{7,750 m/s}=5,640 s$

Dividing by 60, we get that this time corresponds to 94 minutes.
