Near the end of a marathon race, the first two runners are separated by a distance of 45.6 m. The front runner has a velocity of

3.1 m/s, and the second a velocity of 4.65 m/s. How many seconds earlier will the second runner reach the finish line if the front runner is 250 m from the finish line in seconds?

Answer:17.08 s

Explanation:

Given

distance between First and second Runner is 45.6 m

speed of first runner(v_1)=3.1 m/s

speed of second runner(v_2)=4.65 m/s

Distance between first runner and finish line is 250 m

Second runner need to run a distance of 250+45.6=295.6 m

Time required by second runner t=\frac{295.6}{4.65}=63.56 s

time required by first runner to reach finish line=\frac{250}{3.1}=80.64 s

Thus second runner reach the finish line 80.64-63.56=17.08 s earlier

Find the orbital speed v for a satellite in a circular orbit of radius R.Express the orbital speed in terms of G, M, and R.
AlekseyPX
<h2>Answer:V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}  </h2>

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is <u>constant</u> and defined by the following expression:

V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}     (1)

Where:

G is the gravity constant

M the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting

R the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. I<u>t depends on the mass of the massive body.</u>

In addition, this orbital speed is constant because at all times <u>both the kinetic energy and the potential remain constant</u> in a circular (closed) orbit.
