Refraction is the change in direction of waves that occurs when waves travel from one medium to another. It is always accompanied by a wavelength and speed of change. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings.

An earth satellite remains in orbit at a distance of 13300 km from the center of the earth. what is its period? the universal gr
iren [92.7K]
Given: Altitude of satellite r = 13,300 Km convert to meter

                                          r = 1.33 x 10⁷ m

Universal Gravitational constant G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²

Mass of the earth Me = 5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg

Required: Period of satellite   T = ?

Formula: F = ma;   Centripetal acceleration ac = V²/r    F = GMeMsat/r²

Velocity of satellite V = 2πr/T

equate T from all given equation.

F = ma

GMeMsat/r² = MsatV²/r  cancel Msat and insert V = 2πr/T

GMe/r² = (2πr)²/rT²  Equate T or period of satellite

T² = 4π²r³/GMe

T² = 39.48(1.33 X 10⁷ m)³/(6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²)(5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg)

T² = 9.29 x 10²² m³/3.99 x 10¹⁴ m³/s²

T² = 232,832,080.2 s²

T = 15,258.84 seconds       or (it can be said around 4.24 Hr)

The ball is displaced to the left and then oscillates backwards and forwards between the two plates. The ball touches a plate on
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Average current produced by the repeated transfer of charge is 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ ampere

Explanation:

The formula to be used here is

Q = It

where Q is the quantity of electricity and it is measured coulombs (C); 2.8 × 10⁻⁸ C or 0.000000028 C

I is current and it is measured in ampere (amps or A); unknown

t is time and it is measured in seconds (s); 0.05 s

Since, average current is what is unknown

I =Q/t

I = 0.000000028/0.05

I = 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ A

Average current produced by the repeated transfer of charge is 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ ampere

A man travels 8,000 meters in 20 mins how fast is he going
Elden [556K]
Speed = 8000m/20min = 400m/min

Convert meters/min to meters/second.
60seconds in 1minute:
400m/60sec = 6.67m/s

Speed is: 6.67m/s
