The statement “When an object is in orbit, it is falling at the same rate at which the Earth is curving” is true. The speed of a satellite orbiting the earth depends only on the mass of the earth and the mass of the satellite.

g100num [7]

Answer:

The required angle is (90-25)° = 65°

Explanation:

The given motion is an example of projectile motion.

Let 'v' be the initial velocity and '∅' be the angle of projection.

Let 't' be the time taken for complete motion.

Let 'g' be the acceleration due to gravity

Taking components of velocity in horizontal(x) and vertical(y) direction.

v_{x} =  v cos(∅)

v_{y} =  v sin(∅)

We know that for a projectile motion,

t =\frac{2vsin(∅)}{g}

Since there is no force acting on the golf ball in horizonal direction.

Total distance(d) covered in horizontal direction is -

d = v_{x}×t = vcos(∅)×\frac{2vsin(∅)}{g} = \frac{v^{2}sin(2∅) }{g}.

If the golf ball has to travel the same distance 'd' for same initital velocity v = 23m/s , then the above equation should have 2 solutions of initial angle 'α' and 'β' such that -

α +β = 90° as-

d = \frac{v^{2}sin(2α) }{g} = \frac{v^{2}sin(2[90-β]) }{g} =\frac{v^{2}sin(180-2β) }{g} = \frac{v^{2}sin(2β) }{g} .

∴ For the initial angles 'α' or 'β' , total horizontal distance 'd' travelled remains the same.

∴ If α = 25° , then

     β = 90-25 = 65°

∴ The required angle is 65°.

whats an isotope? give the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a neutral atom of each of the following isotopes, Carbo
melamori03 [73]
Isotopes refer to different atoms of the same element (i.e. same number of protons) that differ in the number of neutrons they have (giving them different atomic weights). Atomic weight is the sum of protons and neutrons (each contributes 1 atomic mass unit).

Carbon has 6 protons by definition. If you have a carbon-13 atom (the 13 referring to its mass), the atom has 13 - 6 = 7 neutrons. Since it's neutral, protons = electrons, so there are also 6 electrons.

Sulfur has 16 protons by definition. If you have a sulfur-32 atom, the atom has 32 - 16 = 16 neutrons. Since it's neutral, protons = electrons, so there are also 16 electrons.
