Answer: LEO satellites are low earth orbiting whereas GEO satellites are geostationary earth orbiting satellites.

Explanation: Satellites in low Earth orbit, or LEO, are the closest devices to Earth. You'll often hear the terms GEO and GSO used interchangeably, but they’re not always the same. Both types of satellites sit at roughly 22,300 miles above Earth’s surface, but the way they orbit is different.

These satellites are called Geostationary because they appear fixed as they move at the same angular velocity as the Earth and orbit along a path parallel to Earth's rotation, providing coverage to a specific area. ... Meanwhile, LEO satellites revolve at an altitude between 160 to 2,000 kilometers (99 to 1,200 miles).

A mechanic needs to replace the motor for a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round should accelerate from rest to 1.5 rad/s in 7.0 s

marta [7]

Answer

given,

initial speed of merry-go-round = 0 rad/s

final speed of merry-go-round = 1.5 rad/s

time = 7 s

Radius of the disk = 6 m

Mass of the merry-go-round = 25000 Kg

Moment of inertia of the disk

$I = \dfrac{1}{2}MR^2$

$I = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 25000\times 6^2$

I = 450000 kg.m²

angular acceleration

$\alpha = \dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_0}{t}$

$\alpha = \dfrac{1.5-0}{7}$

$\alpha =0.214\ rad/s^2$

we know,

$\tau= I \alpha$

$\tau= 450000\times 0.214$

$\tau=96300\ N.m$

Describe the kinetic molecular theory

tatuchka [14]

The kinetic theory of gases is a simple, historically significant model of the thermodynamic behavior of gases, with which many principal concepts of thermodynamics were established. The model describes a gas as a large number of identical submicroscopic particles, all of which are in constant, rapid, random motion
