A satellite is in a circular orbit 21000 km above the Earth’s surface; i.e., it moves on a circular path under the influence of

nothing but the Earth’s gravity. Find the speed of the satellite. The radius of the Earth is 6.37 × 106 m, and the acceleration of gravity at the satellite’s altitude is 0.532655 m/s 2. Find the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth.

Answer:

(orbital speed of the satellite) V₀ = 3.818 km

Time (t) = 4.5 × 10⁴s

Explanation:

Given that:

The radius of the Earth is 6.37 × 10⁶ m;    &

the acceleration of gravity at the satellite’s altitude is 0.532655 m/s

We can calculate the orbital speed of the satellite by using the formula:

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(r × g)

radius of the orbit (r) = 21000 km + 6.37 × 10⁶ m

                                  = (2.1 × 10⁷ + 6.37 × 10⁶) m

                                  = 27370000

                                  = 2.737 × 10⁷m

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(r × g)

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(2.737 × 10⁷  × 0.532655 )

                              = 3818.215

                              = 3.818 × 10³

                             = 3.818 Km

To find the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth; we use the formula:

Time (t) = 2 π × \frac{r}{V_o}

            = 2 × 3.14 × \frac{2.737*10^7}{3.818*10^3}

            = 45019.28

            = 4.5 × 10 ⁴ s

liraira [26]

Answer:

1) λ < 2d,  2)  nfrared imaging technique, 3) each color there is a different index of refraction

Explanation:

We are going to answer the three questions

1) When x-rays pass through matter in order to be dispersed, their wavelength must be of the order of the length of separation in the atoms and molecules of the body, in solid bones this length is similar and they scatter and reflect the x-rays therefore they can be observed, the fat and the soft tissue have a much greater separation therefore the x-rays cannot be reflected and consequently it is not observable by this technique.

2) At airports they use the infrared imaging technique, where the image is taken for the infrared wavelength, which is the heat part of the electromagnetic spectrum; consequently, when the image is viewed, the hottest areas appear brighter and, since when a person has a virus, his temperature rises, his temperature rises, it is possible to observe people with a higher temperature.

3) when white light hits a prism it is refracted with the equation

            n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where the incidence of refraction depends on the wavelength, therefore for each color there is a different index of refraction and consequently the light is separated in its different colors.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

0.243 m/s

Explanation:

From law of conservation of motion,

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')................. Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first car, m' = mass of the second car, initial velocity of the first car, u' = initial velocity of the second car, V = Final velocity of both cars.

make V the subject of the equation

V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m')................. Equation 2

Given: m = 260000 kg, u = 0.32 m/s, m' = 52500 kg, u' = -0.14 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

V = (260000×0.32+52500×(-0.14))/(260000+52500)

V = (83200-7350)/312500

V = 75850/312500

V = 0.243 m/s

The answer is A. <span>The component waves have different frequencies.
The magnitudes of reinforcement usually really dependent on the number of frequencies and interference is usually caused due to the difference in frequencies. So, we can conclude that if the frequencies are different and causing interference, the reinforcement will also different
