Answer:

v = 5030.4 m/s

Explanation:

let Fc be the centripetal force and Fg be the gravitational force of attraction on the satelite. let m be the mass of the satelite and M be the mass of earth.

At any point in the orbit, the satelite experiences forces , Fc and Fg such that:

Fc = Fg

m×v^2/r = G×M×m/(r^2)

m and r are the same throughout the equation,so that:

v^2 = G×M/(r)

  v =  \sqrt{G×M/(r)}

In a circular orbit, the displacement the satelite should cover is 2×π×r in a period :

T = 2×π×r /v

so  that:

v = 2×π×r /T

then

2×π×r /T = \sqrt{G×M/(r)}

           r =  \sqrt[3]{T^2×G×M/(4×π^2)}

           r =   \sqrt[3]{(1.97×10^4)^2×(6.67408×10^-11)×(5.98×10^24)/(4×π^2)}

           r =  15772060.56 m

then :

v = 2×π×r /T

  = 2×π×(15772060.56) /(1.97×10^4)

  = 5030.4 m/s

therefore, the satelite travels at a speed of 5030.4 m/s.

choli [55]

Sand dunes during the Dust Bowl are an example of windward.

The sand dunes are formed due to high movement of wind in the deserts which make dunes in the direction where wind is moving. Windward refers to facing the wind or situated on the side facing the wind so in those regions where the wind moves bring sand with itself and make dunes in that area so we can conclude that sand dunes are formed in the windward regions.

Help me please Which of the following statements best describes the atoms and molecules that make up a glass
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The atoms and molecules of the liquid water are moving, while the atoms and molecules of the glass are not moving

Explanation:

Matter that exist in the liquid or gaseous state consist of molecules that move freely about in the entire containing medium for gas, while the molecules move freely  in the portion of the container occupied by the fluid in the case of liquid fluids

However, the molecules of a solid are fixed within the current shape of the solid and are only free to vibrate within a fixed location and the allow the passage of subatomic particles such as electrons

As such, the glass cup being a solid, consists of molecules fixed in space, while the liquid water consists of molecules which can translate within the portion of the volume of the glass filled with the water.
