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 rock is thrown from the top of a 20-m building at an angle of 53° above the horizontal. If the horizontal range of the throw
NemiM [27]

Answer:

28.5 m/s

18.22 m/s

Explanation:

h = 20 m, R = 20 m, theta = 53 degree

Let the speed of throwing is u and the speed with which it strikes the ground is v.

Horizontal distance, R = horizontal velocity x time

Let t be the time taken

20 = u Cos 53 x t

u t = 20/0.6 = 33.33 ..... (1)

Now use second equation of motion in vertical direction

h = u Sin 53 t - 1/2 g t^2

20 = 33.33 x 0.8 - 4.9 t^2     (ut = 33.33 from equation 1)

t = 1.17 s

Put in equation (1)

u = 33.33 / 1.17 = 28.5 m/s

Let v be the velocity just before striking the ground

vx = u Cos 53 = 28.5 x 0.6 = 17.15 m/s

vy = uSin 53 - 9.8 x 1.17

vy = 28.5 x 0.8 - 16.66

vy = 6.14 m/s

v^2 = vx^2 + vy^2 = 17.15^2 + 6.14^2

v = 18.22 m/s
