Orbital speed = orbital path distance/time period = 2*pi*r/T
T=27.3days*24*3600=2358720s 
2*pi*3.8*10^8m/2358720s = 1020m/s

Hope this helps! Please rate if my answer helped you! Any questions please feel free to ask! Thank you so much!!

Using this formula a = F/m What acceleration results from exerting a 125N force on a 0.65kg
Softa [21]

Answer:

Acceleration = 192.3 m/s² (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Force = 125 N

Mass of ball = 0.65 kg

Find:

Acceleration

Computation:

We know that;

Acceleration = Force / Mas

So,

Acceleration = 125 / 0.65

Acceleration = 192.3 m/s² (Approx.)

Total these measurements. Your answer should indicate the proper accuracy. Be sure to include the units in your answer. (Remembe
vivado [14]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

This is tough. The last number  0.2 has only one significant figure. So while the sum of all the numbers is 12.3, you must only leave one sig figure. Rounding to the tenths gives 10.

Explain why the same side of the moon is always facing Earth.
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The moon keeps the same face pointing towards the Earth because its rate of spin is tidally locked so that it is synchronized with its rate of revolution (the time needed to complete one orbit). In other words, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.

a piece of metal with a mass of 15.3 grams has a temperature of 50.0°C. When the metal is placed in 80.2 grams of water at 21.0°
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

1.21

Explanation:

Heat rise in the body happens due to heat supplied by water to the body.

Heat rise in body = m₁ c₁ ΔT₁

Where m₁ is mass of body and c₁ is its specific heat of body

Heat lost from water to the body = m₂ c₂ ΔT₂

Where m₂ is mass of water and c₂ is its specific heat of water ( c₂ =1 (since water))

Equating both:

        15.3 x c₁ x 4.3 = 80.2 x 1 x 4.3

⇒   c₁ = 80.2 / (15.3 x 4.3) = 1.21

A 81 kg person sits on a 3.8 kg chair. Each leg of the chair makes contact with the floor in a circle that is 1.2 cm in diameter
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

1.9 MPa

Explanation:

Mass of person = 81 kg

Mass of chair = 3.8 kg

Diameter of contact point = 1.2 cm = D

Radius of contact point = 1.2/2 = 0.6 cm

Total mass of chair and person = 81 + 3.8 = 84.8 kg = M

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Force acting on the floor

<em>F = Mg</em>

<em>⇒F = 84.8×9.81</em>

<em>⇒F = 831.888 N</em>

Area of the contact point

<em>A = πR²</em>

<em>⇒A = π0.006²</em>

<em>⇒A = π0.000036 m²</em>

Area of the four points is

<em>4A = 0.000144π m²</em>

Pressure

p=\frac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow p=\frac{831.888}{0.000144\pi}\\\Rightarrow p=1838876.21\ Pa=1.83887621\times 10^6\ Pa=1.9 MPa

Pressure exerted on the floor by each leg of the chair is 1.9 MPa
