A satellite is in circular orbit at an altitude of 1500 km above the surface of a nonrotating planet with an orbital speed of 9.

2 km/s. The minimum speed needed to escape from the surface of the planet is 14.9 km/s, and G = 6.67 × 10-11 N · m2/kg2. The orbital period of the satellite is closest to

To solve this problem we will use the Newtonian theory about the speed of a body in space for which the speed of a body in the orbit of a planet is summarized as:

v =  \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Planet

r = Radius of the planet ('h' would be the orbit from the surface)

The escape velocity is

v = 14.9km/h = 14900m/s

Through this equation we can find the mass of the Planet in function of the distance, therefore

M = \frac{v^2R}{2G}

M = \frac{14900^2R}{2(6.67*10^{-11})}

M = 16.64*10^{17}R

The orbital velocity is

v_o = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}

9200^2 = \frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(16.64*10^{17})R}{R+1500*10^3}

11.1*10^7R = (R+15000*10^3)(9200)^2

2.64*10^7R = 12.69*10^{13}

R = 4.81*10^6m

The time period of revolution is,

T = \frac{2\pi(R+h)}{v_o}

T = \frac{2\pi(4.81*10^6+1.5*10^6)}{9200}

T = 4307s

T = 72min = 1hour12min

Therefore the orbital period of the satellite is closes to 1 hour and 12 min

The  best represent the size of visible light will be C. Protozoa

The electromagnetic spectrum, gives the overall distribution of electromagnetic radiation by the  frequency or wavelength. All EM waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, but over a wide range of frequencies, wavelengths, and photon energies.

Visible light wavelengths cover the range of approximately 0.4 to 0.7 μm. electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can see is the Visible light. Visible light is a form of electromagnetic (EM) radiation, along with radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and microwaves. the wavelengths that are visible to most human eyes is generally known as Visible light

A table exerts a 4.0 Newton force on a book which lies at rest on its top. The force exerted by the book on the table is
SOVA2 [1]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. <span>The force exerted by the book on the table is equal to the force exerted by the table which is 4.0 N. The book does not move so it must be that the forces are balanced. Hope this answers the question.</span>
