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 3.15-kg object is moving in a plane, with its x and y coordinates given by x = 6t2 − 4 and y = 5t3 + 6, where x and y are in m
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

<h2>206.67N</h2>

Explanation:

The sum of force along both components x and y is expressed as;

\sum Fx = ma_x  \ and \ \sum Fy = ma_y

The magnitude of the net force which is also known as the resultant will be expressed as R =\sqrt{(\sum Fx)^2 + (\sum Fx )^2}

To get the resultant, we need to get the sum of the forces along each components. But first lets get the acceleration along the components first.

Given the position of the object along the x-component to be x = 6t² − 4;

a_x = \frac{d^2 x }{dt^2}

a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(\frac{dx}{dt} )\\ \\a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(6t^{2}-4  )\\\\a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(12t  )\\\\a_x = 12m/s^{2}

Similarly,

a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(\frac{dy}{dt} )\\ \\a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(5t^{3} +6 )\\\\a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(15t^{2}   )\\\\a_y = 30t\\a_y \ at \ t= 2.15s; a_y = 30(2.15)\\a_y = 64.5m/s^2

\sum F_x = 3.15 * 12 = 37.8N\\\sum F_y = 3.15 * 64.5 = 203.18N

R = \sqrt{37.8^2+203.18^2}\\ \\R = \sqrt{1428.84+41,282.11}\\ \\R = \sqrt{42.710.95}\\ \\R = 206.67N

Hence, the magnitude of the net force acting on this object at t = 2.15 s is approximately 206.67N

You add 800 ml of water at 20c to 800 ml of water at 80c what is the most likely final temperature of the mixture ?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

d. 50 C

Explanation:

In this problem, we have to add 800 ml of water at 20 Celsius to 800 ml of water at 80 Celsius.

According to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, heat transfers from hot to cold temperature.

The quantity of both the different waters is equal so this makes it very easy. All we have to do is find the mean of both the temperatures:

Final temperature = (20 C + 80 C)/2

= 50 Celsius

Solve for x. 4(x+1)≤4x+3
alexdok [17]
4x + 4 < 4x + 3 (expand it)
4 < 3 (cancel 4x on both sides)
Since 4 < 3 is not true there is no solution.

Answer: NO SOLUTION.

A dog of mass 4 kg runs up a hill of height 8 m. How much gravitational potential energy does the dog gain?
Genrish500 [490]
A. 314 because when you use the formula for the GPE ; GPE=MGH or means mass times gravity time height (4x8x9.8) and thats equivalent to 313.6 which rounds up to 314. Hope it helps
