Refer to the diagram shown below.

The angle at DC (Washington, DC) is 90 + 55 =  145°.

Let d =  the total distance traveled.
From the Law of Cosines, obtain
d² = 5600² + 900² - 2(5600)(900) cos(145°)
     = 4.0427 x 10⁷
d = 6358.23 km

Answer: 6358.2 km (nearest tenth)

Find the orbital speed v for a satellite in a circular orbit of radius R.Express the orbital speed in terms of G, M, and R.
AlekseyPX
<h2>Answer:V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}  </h2>

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is <u>constant</u> and defined by the following expression:

V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}     (1)

Where:

G is the gravity constant

M the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting

R the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. I<u>t depends on the mass of the massive body.</u>

In addition, this orbital speed is constant because at all times <u>both the kinetic energy and the potential remain constant</u> in a circular (closed) orbit.

Initial velocity 10 m/s accelerates at 5 m/s for 2 seconds whats the final velocity
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

<em>The final velocity is 20 m/s.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, and t the time, the final speed can be calculated as follows:

v_f=v_o+at

The provided data is: vo=10 m/s, a=5\ m/s^2, t=2 s. The final velocity is:

v_f=10~m/s+5\ m/s^2\cdot 2\ s

v_f=20\ m/s

The final velocity is 20 m/s.

How does Newton's second law apply to an "Egg Drop" experiment?

Starting at (0,0) an object travels 36 meters north and then it covers 20 meters east. What is
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the pythagoras theorem, the displacement is expressed as;

d² = x²+y²

y = 36m (north)

x = 20m east

Substitute;

d² = 36²+20²

d² = 1296+400

d² = 1696

d = √1696

d = 41.18m

For the direction;

theta = tan^-1(y/x)

theta = tan^-1(36/20)

theta = tan^-1(1.8)

theta = 60.95°

Hence the magnitude is 41.18m and the direction is 60.95°

For safety reasons, a worker’s eye travel time in a certain operation must be separated from the manual elements that follow. Th
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The answer is 12.67 TMU

Explanation:

Recall that,

worker’s eyes travel  distance must be = 20 in.

The perpendicular distance from her eyes to the line of travel is =24 in

What is the MTM-1 normal time in TMUs that should be allowed for the eye travel element = ?

Now,

We solve for the given problem.

Eye travel is = 15.2 * T/D

=15.2 * 20 in/24 in

so,

= 12.67 TMU

Therefore, the MTM -1 of normal time that should be allowed for the eye  travel element is = 12.67 TMU
