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

What is the kinetic energy of a 400kg house that is racing around a track at 17 meters per second?
nasty-shy [4]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed squared)

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (400 kg) (17 m/s)²

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (400 kg) (289 m²/s²)

<em>Kinetic energy = 57,800 Joules</em>

<em></em>

(That's some amazing house.  I'd like to be there to see it.)

4. Brandon throws a tennis ball vertically upward. The ball returns to the point of release after 4.0 s. What is the
vekshin1

Answer:

-39.2m/s

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion;

v = u + at

Since the ball is thrown upward, the acceleration due to gravity acting on it will be negative, hence a = -g

v = u - gt

Since g = 9.8m/s²

t = 4.0s

u = 0m/s

v = 0 + (-9.8)(4)

v = 0 + (-9.8)(4)

v = -39.2m/s

Hence the speed of the ball before release is -39.2m/s

What is the speed that is measured in speedometer to track speed violation?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The officer's unit detects this 135-mile-per-hour speed and should subtract the patrol car's 70-mile -per-hour ground speed to get your true speed of 65 miles per hour. Instead, the officer's ground-speed beam fixes on the truck ahead and measures a false 50-mile-per-hour ground speed.

Explanation:

A speedometer or speed meter is a gauge that measures and displays the instantaneous speed of a vehicle. Now universally fitted to motor vehicles, they started to be available as options in the early 20th century, and as standard equipment from about 1910 onwards.
