Answer:

424088766.068 m

Explanation:

Radius of the circular orbit that the satellite is 2.6 Earth radii (r) = 2.6 R

R = Radius of earth = 6371000 m (mean radius)

In order to find the distance that the satellite travels in 5.89 hours to complete one complete revolution is the circumference of the circular orbit

Circumference of a circle = 2×π×r

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 2×π×2.6 R

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 2×π×2.6×6371000

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 104078451.3393m

Distance travelled in 1 hour = 104078451.3393/5.89 = 17670365.252 m

∴ Distance travelled in 24 hours = 17670365.252×24 = 424088766.068 m

a nitrogen laser generates a pulse containing 10.0 mj of energy at a wavelength of 340.0 nm. how many photons are in the pulse?
Wewaii [24]

A nitrogen laser generates a pulse containing 10.0 mj of energy at a wavelength of 340.0 nm and has 1785 x 10¹⁹ photons in the pulse.

<h3>How many photons are in the pulse?</h3>

Energy of a single photon is

E=hcλ

E=6.626×10⁻³⁴ J s×3×108 m/s /340×10⁻⁹ m

E=6.31×10⁻¹⁹  J

Number of photons in the laser is

n=Total Energy/Energy per photon

n=10⁷×10⁻³J /5.90×10⁻¹⁹J/photon

n= 1785 x 10¹⁹ photons

What does the rotation of the Earth cause?
lord [1]
This rotation causes days. The relative position of us to the sun, and the Earth's rotation will cause the sun to appear to rise above the horizon and below, creating day and night.

What is latent heat? Group of answer choices Energy released when water evaporates. Energy hidden in water vapor in the air. Ene
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Energy absorbed or hidden when water evaporates

Explanation:

The heat that is required to make a phase change is known as latent heat.

A phase change occurs when matter changes state. For example from solid to liquid, from liquid to gas, among others.

When changing from liquid to gas (for example when water evaporates), the heat necessary for this to happen is called latent heat of vaporization. The word latent means hidden, because a change in temperature is not perceived during the phase change, even when heat is being added, thus it is said that the heat is hidden or latent.

So the answer is:

  • Energy absorbed or hidden when water evaporates.

*Another type of latent heat is the latent heat of fusion, which is when a solid becomes liquid.
