Answer:

Explanation:

distance of shuttle from centre of the earth = radius of the orbit

= 6300 + 300 = 6600 km

= 6600 x 10³

Formula of time period of the satellite

T = 2π R /v₀ , v₀ is orbital velocity

v₀ = √gR , ( if height  is small with respect to radius )

T = 2π R /√gR

= 2π√ R /√g

= 2 x 3.14 x √ 6600 x 10³ / √9.8

= 2 x 3.14 x 256.9 x 10 / 3.13

= 5154.41 s

= 5154.41 / 60 minutes

= 85.91 m

85.9 minutes.

2 ) No of sunrise per day = no of rotation per day

= 24 x 60 / 85.9

= 16.76

or 17 sunrises.

When a moving car is brought to a stop with the brakes, its acceleration vector is 29. (a) in the same direction as its velocity
professor190 [17]

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of motion, specifically that of acceleration. Acceleration can be defined as the change of speed in an instant of time, mathematically this is

\vec{a} = \frac{\vec{v_2}-\vec{v_1}}{\Delta t}

If a mobile is decreasing its speed (it is slowing down), then its acceleration is in the opposite direction to the movement. This would imply that the acceleration vector is opposite to the velocity vector.

Therefore the correct answer is B.

A woman who weighs 500 N stands on an 8.0-m-long board that weighs 100 N. The board is supported at each end. The support force
aniked [119]

Answer:

The woman's distance from the right end is 1.6m = (8-6.4)m.

The principles of moments about a point or axis running through a point and summation of forces have been used to calculate the required variable.

Principle of moments: the sun of clockwise moments must be equal to the sun of anticlockwise moments.

Also the sun of upward forces must be equal to the sun of downward forces.

Theses are the conditions for static equilibrium.

Explanation:

The step by step solution can be found in the attachment below.

Thank you for reading this solution and I hope it is helpful to you.
