A satellite completes one revolution of a planet in almost exactly one hour. At the end of one hour, the satellite has traveled

2.0 × 10 7 meters and is only 10 meters away from its starting point. What is the numerical value of the satellite's average velocity after that one hour?

You haven't described the shape of the orbit. 
Fortunately, it doesn't matter.

Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

                           =  (2.0 x 10⁷ meters) / (1 hour)

                           =     2.0 x 10⁷ meters/hour

                           =     5,555 and 5/9 meters/second .

Note that this is the satellite's speed. 


Regarding velocity:

           Velocity = (displacement) / (time for the displacement)

                         =  10 meters/hour

                         =  0.002777... meters/second  (rounded)

                             in the direction from the starting point
                             to the location after that one hour.

Why does the density of a substance remain the same for different amount of the substance
tresset_1 [31]

Think of it this way: 
-- Any time you have something that means (some number) PER UNIT,
it doesn't matter how many units there are on the table or in the bucket,
because that amount doesn't change the (number) PER UNIT.

-- If oranges cost $1 PER POUND, it doesn't matter how many pounds
you buy, the whole bagful is still $1 PER POUND.

-- If a certain salad dressing has 40 calories PER Tablespoon, it doesn't
matter whether you eat a drop of it or drink the whole jar.  You still get
40 calories PER Tablespoon.

-- Density means '(mass) PER unit of volume'.  Whether you have a tiny
chip of the substance or a whole truckload of it, there's still the same
amount of mass IN EACH unit of volume.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Now e is due to the ring at a

So

We say

1/4πEo(ea/ a²+a²)^3/2

= 1/4πEo ea/2√2a³

So here E is faced towards the ring

Next is E due to a point at the centre

So

E² = 1/4πEo ( e/a²)

Finally we get the total

Et= E²-E

= e/4πEo(2√2-1/2√2)

So the direction here is away from the ring

Behavioral Adaptations: Behavior that animals begin life with that helps them meet their needs is called ________.
Arturiano [62]
I believe the blank would simply be behaviour adaptations. Behavioural adaptations are behaviours that organisms demonstrate to help them better survive and reproduce in a habitat. Hope that helps!!

A 0.405 kg mass is attached to a spring with a force constant of 26.3 N/m and released from rest a distance of 3.31 cm from the
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

0.231 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass attached to the spring = 0.405 kg

k = spring constant of spring = 26.3 N/m

x₀ = initial position = 3.31 cm = 0.0331 m

x = final position = (0.5) x₀ = (0.5) (0.0331) = 0.01655 m

v₀ = initial speed = 0 m/s

v = final speed = ?

Using conservation of energy

Initial kinetic energy + initial spring energy = Final kinetic energy + final spring energy

(0.5) m v₀² + (0.5) k x₀² = (0.5) m v² + (0.5) k x²

m v₀² + k x₀² = m v² + k x²

(0.405) (0)² + (26.3) (0.0331)² = (0.405) v² + (26.3) (0.01655)²

v = 0.231 m/s
