<span>frequency definition. In physics, the number of crests of a wave that move past a given point in a given unit of time. The most common unit offrequency is the hertz (Hz), corresponding to one crest per second. Thefrequency of a wave can be calculated by dividing the speed of the wave by the wavelength.</span><span>amplitude, in physics, the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path.</span>

A satellite orbits earth with a mean altitude of 361 km. If the orbit is circular, what are the satellite's time period and spee
Advocard [28]

Answer:

v = 7.69 x 10³ m/s = 7690 m/s

T = 5500 s = 91.67 min = 1.53 h

Explanation:

In order for the satellite to orbit the earth, the force of gravitation on satellite must be equal to the centripetal force acting on it:

F_{gravitation}= F_{centripetal}\\\\\frac{GM_{s} M_{E}}{r^2}  = \frac{M_{s} v^2}{r}\\\\\frac{GM_{E}}{r} = v^2\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{E}}{r} } \\\\

where,

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

Me = Mass of Earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

r = distance between the center of Earth and Satellite = Radius of Earth + Altitude = 6.371 x 10⁶ m + 0.361 x 10⁶ m = 6.732 x 10⁶ m

v = orbital speed = ?

Therefore,

v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67 x 10^{-11}N.m^2/kg^2)(5.97 x 10^{24} kg)}{6.732 x 10^6 m} }\\\\

<u>v = 7.69 x 10³ m/s</u>

For time period satellite completes one revolution around the earth. It means that the distance covered by satellite is equal to circumference of circle at the given altitude.

So, its orbital speed can be given as:

v = \frac{Circumference of Circle at Given Altitude}{T}\\\\v =  \frac{2\pi r}{T}\\\\

where,

T = Time Period of Satellite = ?

Therefore,

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}\\\\T = \frac{(2\pi )(6.732 x 10^6 m}{7.69 x 10^3 m/s}\\\\

<u>T = 5500 s = 91.67 min = 1.53 h</u>

Describe how refraction concentrates wave energy so that some parts of a beach erode more.
Zigmanuir [339]

Refraction is the bending of the waves which is result of the fact that different parts of the wave reach the water with different speeds because of the angle approaching the shore.

<span>The wave refraction disperses the wave energy in quiet water areas and sand is deposited.<span>  </span></span>

What is the soil fabric?
inessss [21]

Answer:

The term soil fabric refers to the geometrical arrangement of individual particles in a soil, including the geometrical distribution of pore spaces. Soil fabric may be used to describe the particle arrangement in both cohesive soils such as clays and granular soils such as silts, sands, and gravels.

What are the two main types of energy?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Fourth option

Explanation:

They're many different types of energy, from chemical and mechanical to heat and solar energy. But the two most basic types of energy are "kinetic and potential energy" or the fourth option. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has when it is in motion, while potential energy is the energy an object has when it's as rest. These two specific types of energies are the most basic and you can even convert them into many different types of energies, like heat or electrical energy.

Hope this helps.

Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, so that objects on its surface execute uniform circular motion about the axis wit
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

v=1667.9km/h

a_{cp}=436.6km/h^2

Explanation:

The speed is the distance traveled divided by the time taken. The distance traveled in 24hs while standing on the equator is the circumference of the Earth C=2\pi R, where R=6371km is the radius of the Earth.

We have then:

v=\frac{C}{t}=\frac{2\pi R}{t}=\frac{2\pi (6371km)}{(24h)}=1667.9km/h

And then we use the centripetal acceleration formula:

a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{R}=\frac{(1667.9km/h)^2}{(6371km)}=436.6km/h^2
