Answer:

1058.78 ft/sec

Explanation:

Horizontal Component of Velocity; This is the velocity of a body that act on the horizontal axis. I.e Velocity along x-axis

The horizontal velocity of a body can be calculated as shown below.\

Vh = Vcos∅.......................... Equation 1

Where Vh = horizontal component of the velocity, V = The velocity acting between the horizontal and the vertical axis, ∅ = Angle the velocity make with the horizontal.

Given: V = 1178 ft/sec, ∅ = 26°

Substitute into equation 1

Vh = 1178cos26

Vh = 1178(0.8988)

Vh = 1058.78 ft/sec

Hence the horizontal component of the velocity = 1058.78 ft/sec

Suppose Earth orbited a star whose mass was double the mass of the sun. If the radius of Earth’s orbit remained the same as it i
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Two times as much

Explanation:

The equation for gravitational force is: Fg = GMm/r^2 with G being the universal gravitational constant.

So to make things easier we'll set r equal to 1 since it's a constant as well as G.

Then we're left with Fg=Mm with M being the mass of the sun and m being the mass of the earth.

So if m is constant and supposedly equals 1 then Fg=M so Fg is proportional to M therefore if M doubles then Fg doubles.

What is the frequency in hertz of a signal that repeats 80,000 times within one minute? What is its period?
Harman [31]

1333.3 is the frequency in the hertz of a signal that repeats 80,000 times within one minute. 0.00075 is its period.

The frequency of a repeated event is its number of instances per unit of time. In some cases, it is also referred to as temporal frequency or ordinary frequency to underline differences with spatial and angular frequencies, respectively.

The length of time it takes for a particle in a medium to complete one full vibrational cycle is the period of a wave. Being a time, a period is measured in time units like seconds, hours, days, or years. The Earth's orbit around the Sun has a duration of around 365 days, and one cycle of the Earth lasts 365 days.

frequency = cycle /second

frequency = 80000 / 60

frequency = 1333.3 hertz

Period = 1 / frequency

Period = 1 / 1,333.3

Period = 0.00075

On a cosmic calendar, in which the history of the universe is compressed into one year, how long is the average human life span?
netineya [11]

Answer:

If one were to use 5 billion years as the age of the universe and 75 years as the average human life span then

T = 75 / 5 E9 = 1.5E-8

The number of seconds in a year is 3600 * 24 * 365 = 3.2E7

If t = N * T   seconds in a year * fraction of human life span

t = 1.5E-8 * 3.2E7 = .48

A human life span is about 1/2 second compared to the life of the universe if the universe were compressed to a single year
