Answer:

Kinetic energy of satellite will be 4.98 × 10^9 J.

Explanation:

The velocity V of a satellite orbiting around the earth is given by  

                            V = √(GM/r)    ………. (i)

Where,  

G = gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

M = mass of earth = 5.97 × 10^24 kg

r = radius of orbit = 8 × 10^6 m

By putting values in  equation (i),

                              V = √((6.67 × 10^-11)(5.97 × 10^24)/ 8 × 10^6)    

                              V = 7055.13 m/s

We know that,  

                            Kinetic energy = ½ mV^2

Where,

m = mass of satellite  

so,

                           Kinetic energy = ½ (200)(7055.13)^2

                           Kinetic energy = 4.98 × 10^9 J

Given the equation for the Speed of a Satellite

v = SqRt{Gravitational Constant}{Mass of Earth} divided by the radius given in your problem

we have:


(square root whole term on right side)

v = G Me
———
r


so. (6.67x10^-11)(5.97x10^24)
___________________
(8.0x10^6)


v = 7055 m/s (which is reasonable)


so utilize the Kinetic Energy Formula


KE = 1/2mv^2


KE = 1/2(200)(7055)^2


KE = 4.977x10^9 J

givi [52]

Answer:

d = 13 miles

Explanation:

Lets say the position of court house is origin in this case

her office is located at 4 miles west and 4 miles south of court house

so here we have coordinate of the office with respect to court house is given as

r_1 = (-4\hat i - 4\hat j)

now the position of her home is located at 1 miles east and 8 miles north of the court house

so the coordinates of her home is given as

r_2 = (1\hat i + 8 \hat j)

now the change in the position is given as the distance between office and home

d = r_2 - r_1

d = 5 \hat i + 12 \hat j

d = \sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = 13 miles

The fatty layer contains many nerves and blood vessels. True or False
mylen [45]

Answer:

False , The fatty layer do not contains many nerves and blood vessels. The fatty layer is related to skin layers.

Explanation:

The fatty layer is the most under a layer of skin. It made up of a system of collagen and fat cells. It helps maintain the body's temperature and shields the body from harm by serving as a shock absorber.

The dermis is the central layer of the skin. The dermis is maintained collectively by a protein termed collagen. This layer gives skin elasticity and power. The dermis also holds shock and feel receptors.
