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.

The fact that some asteroids cluster in what are called asteroid families is probably the result of:
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The families are thought to form as a result of collisions between asteroids. In many or most cases the parent body was shattered, but there are also several families which resulted from a large cratering event which did not disrupt the parent body (e.g. the Vesta, Pallas, Hygiea, and Massalia families).

Many of today’s mathematicians use computers to test cases that ___
vekshin1

Many of today’s mathematicians use computers to test cases that are either too time-consuming or involve too many variables to test manually, allowing the exploration of theoretical issues that were impossible to test a generation ago.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

One of the most useful inventions in scientific world are the computers. We can use different programming language and create programs in them. These programs help other to solve difficult problems. Most of the theoretical problems in science can be solved by using these programming features in computer within a specific time limit.

Otherwise, earlier mathematician used to take months to solve a complex mathematical problem manually, but now with the inclusion of computers, the mathematician can solve the problems containing more number of variables or other theoretical issues.

One piece of copper jewelry at 111°C has exactly twice the mass of another piece, which is at 28°C. Both pieces are placed insid
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

83.33 C

Explanation:

T1 = 111 C, m1 = 2m

T2 = 28 C, m2 = m

c  = 0.387 J/gK

Let the final temperature inside the calorimeter of T.

Use the principle of calorimetery

heat lost by hot body = heat gained by cold body

m1 x c x (T1 - T) = m2 x c x (T - T2)

2m x c X (111 - T) = m x c x (T - 28)

2 (111 - T) = (T - 28)

222 - 2T = T - 28

3T = 250

T = 83.33 C

Thus, the final temperature inside calorimeter is 83.33 C.

A thin plate 6 ft long and 3 ft wide is submerged and held stationary in a stream of water (T = 60°F) that has a velocity of 17
VashaNatasha [74]

A) In the case of the Boundary Thickness Layer we use the given formula,

\delta = \frac{4.91x}{\sqrt{Re}}

We know as well that,

Re = Número de Reynolds = \frac{U*x}{\upsilon}

Where,

U = velocity

\upsilon = kinematic viscosity

For water, kinematic viscosity, \upsilon = 1.21*10^{-5} ft^2 /s

So, 500,000 = \frac{ 17x}{(1.21*10^{-5})}

x = 0.355 ft

d = \frac{4.91*0.355}{\sqrt {500000}}

d = 0.002465 ft = 0.029in

B) For flat plate boundary layer. Given the Critical Reynolds Number.= 5*10^5 we know that is equal to Re above.

Thus, x = 0.355 ft

C. Wall shear stress,

\tau = \mu*\sqrt{ U^3 / (2*\nu*x) }

For water, dynamic viscosity, \nu = 2.344*10^-5 lbf-s/ft^2

\tau = 2.344*10^-5 \sqrt {17^3 / (2*1.21*10^{-5}*0.355)}

\tau = 0.5605 lbf/ft^2
