Answer:

Orbital period, T = 93.89 minutes

Explanation:

It is given that,

The tangential speed of the Hubble Space Telescope, v = 7750 m/s

The radius of earth, r=6.38\times 10^6\ m

We need to find the orbital period of the Hubble Space Telescope that orbits 569 km above the Earth's surface i.e. h = 569 km = 569000 m

The orbital speed is given by,

v=\dfrac{2\pi R}{T}

T is the orbital period

R = r + h

R = 6949000 m

T=\dfrac{2\pi R}{v}

T=\dfrac{2\pi \times 6949000\ m}{7750\ m/s}

T = 5633.78 s

or

T = 93.89 minutes

So, the orbital period of the Hubble Space Telescope is 93.89 minutes. Hence, this is the required solution.

Satellites travel at 18,000 miles per hour. ...

A satellite gets better fuel economy than a Prius.

If you put all of the data that our satellites collect in a year on DVDs, it would form a stack nearly 4 times the height of the Empire State Building.

There are over 2,500 satellites in orbit around the Earth.

What is the equation for momentum? Please help need answer ASAP.
Leona [35]
Momentum is mass in motion and only applies to objects in motion. It's a term that describes a relationship between the mass and velocity of an object, and we can see this when it is written in equation form, p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass in kg and v is velocity in m/s.

our iclicker operates at a frequency of approximately 900 mhz (900x106 hz). what is the approximate wavelength of the em wave pr
Elena-2011 [213]

wavelength of the EM  wave produced by your iclicker is 0.33 m.

<h3>What makes an EM wave?</h3>
  • When an electric field (illustrated in red arrows) combines with a magnetic field, electromagnetic waves are generated (which is shown in blue arrows). An electromagnetic wave's magnetic and electric fields are perpendicular to each other and to the wave's direction.
  • A changing magnetic field causes a changing electric field, and vice versa—the two are inextricably related. Electromagnetic waves are created by changing fields. Electromagnetic waves, unlike mechanical waves, do not require a medium to propagate.

The clicker emits EM (electromagnetic) wave which travels at the speed of light, that is

v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The frequency is

f = 900mHz = 9 x 10⁸ Hz

velocity = frequency * wavelength, the wavelength, λ,  is given by

fλ = v

λ = v/f

  = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (9 x 10⁸ 1/s)

  = 1/3 m = 0.333 m

A car is moving at a initial velocity of 20 meters per second accelerates at a rate of 1.5 meters per second squared for 4 secon
Brrunno [24]
Answered using calculus.
Antidifferentiated the acceleration to get velocity. Added variable c as we do not know if there was an extra number there yet.
Knowing that when time is 0, the velocity is 20, we can substitute those numbers into the equation and find that c = 20.
Now we have full velocity equation: v = 1.5t + 20
Now we substitute 4 into t to find out the velocity after 4 seconds. This gives us the final answer of 26m/s
