Suppose that the Mars orbiter was to have established orbit at 155 km and that one group of engineers specified this distance as

1.55 × 105 m. Suppose further that a second group of engineers programmed the orbiter to go to 1.55 × 105 ft. What was the difference in kilometers between the two altitudes? How low did the probe go?

Answer:

108 km

Explanation:

The conversion factor between meters and feet is

1 m = 3.28 ft

So the second altitude, written in feet, can be rewritten in meters as

h_2 = 1.55 \cdot 10^5 ft \cdot \frac{1}{3.28 ft/m}=4.7\cdot 10^4 m

or in kilometers,

h_2 = 47 km

the first altitude in kilometers is

h_1 = 155 km

so the difference between the two altitudes is

\Delta h = 155 km - 47 km = 108 km

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

32 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a bus is 30 m/s due East wrt the passenger

He also sees a  passenger on the bus walking to the back at 2 m/s.

We need to find the passenger's velocity relative  to the bus. As the observer sees that the bus and the passenger are moving in opposite direction. Let v is the relative velocity. So,

v = 30 m/s + 2 m/s

v = 32 m/s

Hence, the passenger's velocity relative  to the bus is 32 m/s.

Answer: Atmosphere and geosphere.

Geo-sphere is the solid part of the earth. Hydrosphere is the water part. The living things on the earth make up the biosphere. The gases, water vapors etc make up the atmosphere. When a volcanic eruption adds carbon dioxide to the air, the carbon-dioxide is being added from geosphere to the atmosphere. Hence, there is interaction between atmosphere and geosphere.
