The Hubble Space Telescope orbits the Earth at approximately 612,000m altitude. Its mass is 11,100 kg and the mass of earth is 5

.97e24kg. The Earth’s average radius is 6.38e6m. What is the orbital velocity of the telescope?

Answer:

7.55 km/s

Explanation:

The force of gravity between the Earth and the Hubble Telescope corresponds to the centripetal force that keeps the telescope in uniform circular motion around the Earth:

G\frac{mM}{R^2}=m\frac{v^2}{R}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m=11,100 kg is the mass of the telescope

M=5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg is the mass of the Earth

R=r+h=6.38\cdot 10^6 m+612,000 m=6.99\cdot 10^6 m is the distance between the telescope and the Earth's centre (given by the sum of the Earth's radius, r, and the telescope altitude, h)

v = ? is the orbital velocity of the Hubble telescope

Re-arranging the equation and substituting numbers, we find the orbital velocity:

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{6.99\cdot 10^6 m}}=7548 m/s=7.55 km/s

D) Kirchhoff’s junction rule states that at any junction, the sum of the altimeter attained moving into and out of that junction are equal.

While

Kirchhoff’s loop rule states that the algebraic sum of the number of lifts used in any closed loop is equal to zero

Explanation:

Given that the lifts are analogous to batteries, and the runs are analogous to resistors. 

So from all the figures. The resistors represent the runs while the lift represents the battery.

Kirchhoff’s junction rule states that at any junction, the sum of the altimeter attained moving into and out of that junction are equal.

While

Kirchhoff’s loop rule states that the algebraic sum of the number of lifts used in any closed loop is equal to zero

Give Example of mental flexibility
Inessa [10]

Answer:

If you ring the doorbell and no one opens the door, you'll infer that no one is home rather than continuing to ring the doorbell to an empty house. Being able to understand this and look for another solution is another example of mental flexibility.
