<u>Answer:</u>

The altitude of planet = 5989.198 km

<u>Explanation:</u>

    We know that centripetal acceleration, a = v^2/r, where v is the velocity and r is the radius. In this case both acceleration and velocity is given, so we can find radius of satellite.

    v = 20 Mm/hr = 20*10^6/3600 = 5555.56 m/s

    a = 2.5 m/s^2

 So,  2.5 = 5555.56^2/r\\ \\ r = 12345698.77 m = 12345.698km

 We have diameter of earth = 12713 km

        Radius of earth = 12713/2 = 6356.5 km

   The altitude of planet = Radius of planet - radius of earth

                                         = 12345.698 - 6356.5

                                         = 5989.198 km

A dime is placed in front of a concave mirror that has a radius of curvature R = 0.40 m. The image of the dime is inverted and t
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

distance between the dime and the mirror, u = 0.30 m

Given:

Radius of curvature, r = 0.40 m

magnification, m = - 2 (since,inverted image)

Solution:

Focal length is half the radius of curvature, f = \frac{r}{2}

f = \frac{0.40}{2} = 0.20 m

Now,

m = - \frac{v}{u}

- 2 = -\frac{v}{u}

\frac{v}{u} = 2                  (2)

Now, by lens maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

v = \frac{uf}{u - f}            (3)

From eqn (2):

v = 2u

put v = 2u in eqn (3):

2u = \frac{uf}{u - f}

2 = \frac{f}{u - f}

2(u - 0.20) = 0.20

u = 0.30 m

Reika [66]

Complete question:

The coordinate of a particle in meters is given by x(t)=1 6t- 3.0t³ , where the time tis in seconds. The

particle is momentarily at rest at t is:

Select one:

a. 9.3s

b. 1.3s

C. 0.75s

d.5.3s

e. 7.3s

​

Answer:

b. 1.3 s

Explanation:

Given;

position of the particle, x(t)=1 6t- 3.0t³

when the particle is at rest, the velocity is zero.

velocity = dx/dt

dx /dt = 16 - 9t²

16 - 9t² = 0

9t² = 16

t² = 16 /9

t = √(16 / 9)

t = 4/3

t = 1.3 s

Therefore, the particle is momentarily at rest at t = 1.3 s

Who pays for Government workers that work on alcohol impaired driving cases?
Shalnov [3]

Answer: Taxpayers

Explanation:

Taking alcohol before driving or while driving is dangerous and has resulted in lots of accidents and deaths. Alcohol tampers with the normal functioning of the brain, and also impairs ones reasoning.

Alcohol impaired driving cases handled by government officials are paid for by the taxpayers. A tax is the levy that the people in the country pays. Those funds are used in handling different government objectives and this is one of such ways.
