Answer:

The altitude of geostationary satellite is 3.58\times10^{7}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of moon's orbit r=3.84\times10^{8}\ m

Time period T=2.36\times10^{6}\ sec

We need to calculate the orbital radius of geostationary satellite is

Using formula of time period

T=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3}

a=((\dfrac{GM}{4\pi^2})T^2)^{\dfrac{1}{3}}

Where, G = gravitational constant

M = Mass of earth

T = time period of geostationary satellite orbit

Put the value in to the formula

a=((\dfrac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times5.97\times10^{24}}{4\times\pi^2})\times(86160)^2)^{\dfrac{1}{3}}

a=4.217\times10^{7}\ m

We need to calculate the altitude of geostationary satellite

Using formula of altitude

h = a-R_{e}

Where, R = radius of earth

a = radius of geostationary satellite

Put the value into the formula

h =4.217\times10^{7}-6.38\times10^{6}

h =35790000\ m

h=3.58\times10^{7}\ m

Hence, The altitude of geostationary satellite is 3.58\times10^{7}\ m

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

12.495m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal displacement is the range of the projectile motion.

The range is expressed as;

R = 2U/g

U is the speed at which the rock is thrown (initial speed)

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given

R = 255cm = 2.55m

g = 9.8m/s²

Required

Speed U

Substitute the given parameters into the formula as shown;

2.55 = 2U/9.8

Cross multiply

2U = 2.55×9.8

2U = 24.99

U = 24.99/2

U = 12.495m/s

Hence the speed that you thew the rock is 12.495m/s

The principle of work states that the ratio of work output to work input is always
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

work output is always less than work input - the ratio is less than 1.

Explanation:

This principle comes from the fact that a machine or system cannot produce more work than is supplied to it, because this would violate the energy conservation law (work is a type of mechanical energy).

In theoretical machines called "ideal machines" the input work is the same as the output work, but these machines are only theoretical because in real applications there is always some type of energy loss, either in heat produced by a machine or processes for its operation, for this reason the output work is always less than the input work.

Regarding the ratio work output to work input:

\frac{WO}{WI} < 1

because work input WI is always greater than work output WO.

nasty-shy [4]
Given:
Water, 2 kilograms
T1 = 20 degrees Celsius, T2 = 100 degrees Celsius.  

Required:
Heat produced  

Solution:
Q (heat) = nRT = nR(T2 = T1)
Q (heat) = 2 kilograms (4.184 kiloJoules per kilogram Celsius) (100 degrees Celsius – 20 degrees Celsius)
<u>Q (heat) = 669.42 Joules
</u>This is the amount of heat produced in boiling 2 kg of water.

What is Elasticity? (best answer will get marked brainliest)
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

In economics, elasticity is the measurement of the percentage change of one economic variable in response to a change in another.

An elastic variable (with an absolute elasticity value greater than 1) is one which responds more than proportionally to changes in other variables. In contrast, an inelastic variable (with an absolute elasticity value less than 1) is one which changes less than proportionally in response to changes in other variables. A variable can have different values of its elasticity at different starting points: for example, the quantity of a good supplied by producers might be elastic at low prices but inelastic at higher prices, so that a rise from an initially low price might bring on a more-than-proportionate increase in quantity supplied while a rise from an initially high price might bring on a less-than-proportionate rise in quantity supplied.

Elasticity can be quantified as the ratio of the percentage change in one variable to the percentage change in another variable, when the latter variable has a causal influence on the former. A more precise definition is given in terms of differential calculus. It is a tool for measuring the responsiveness of one variable to changes in another, causative variable. Elasticity has the advantage of being a unitless ratio, independent of the type of quantities being varied. Frequently used elasticities include price elasticity of demand, price elasticity of supply, income elasticity of demand, elasticity of substitution between factors of production and elasticity of intertemporal substitution.

Elasticity is one of the most important concepts in neoclassical economic theory. It is useful in understanding the incidence of indirect taxation, marginal concepts as they relate to the theory of the firm, and distribution of wealth and different types of goods as they relate to the theory of consumer choice. Elasticity is also crucially important in any discussion of welfare distribution, in particular consumer surplus, producer surplus, or government surplus.

In empirical work an elasticity is the estimated coefficient in a linear regression equation where both the dependent variable and the independent variable are in natural logs. Elasticity is a popular tool among empiricists because it is independent of units and thus simplifies data analysis.

A major study of the price elasticity of supply and the price elasticity of demand for US products was undertaken by Joshua Levy and Trevor Pollock in the late 1960s..
