The time in hours it takes a satellite to complete an orbit around the earth varies directly as the radius of the orbit (from th

e center of the earth) and inversely as the orbital velocity. If a satellite completes an orbit 660 miles above the earth in 13 hours at a velocity of 32,000 mph, how long would it take a satellite to complete an orbit if it is at 1500 miles above the earth at a velocity of 38,000 mph?

Answer:It takes a satellite 12.93 hours to complete an orbit around the earth if it is at 1500miles above the earth at a velocity of 38,00mph

Explanation:

Taking 3960miles to be the radius of the earth, we use simple proportions to solve

(1500+3960)/(660+3960) × (32000/38000)× 13 = T in hours to complete orbit.

T=(5460/4620) × (32/38) ×13

T= 12.93hours

Which of the following best describes why tidal energy is considered a renewable energy resource? A. The Moon receives energy fr
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

D. Tidal energy is replaced naturally by the Moon's gravity.

Explanation:

The reason tidal energy is considered a renewable energy resource is that Tidal energy is replaced naturally by the Moon's gravity. The Moon's gravity creates bulges on the side of Earth that is closest and farthest from the Moon. These bulges also pull water causing high tides in those areas. As the Earth rotates these areas experience low tide while the areas that had low tide now experience high tide. This constant shift creates tidal energy every day, which is replenished naturally.

8. What is the frequency of green light waves that have a wavelength of 5.2 x 10-7 m.? The speed of light is 3.0 x 108 m/s
o-na [289]

Answer:

f=5.76\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Explanation:

We need to find the frequency of green light having wavelength o5.2\times 10^{-7}\ m. It can be calculated as follows :

c=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{5.2\times 10^{-7}}\\\\f=5.76\times 10^{14}\ Hz

So, the required frequency of green light is equal to 5.76\times 10^{14}\ Hz.
