Answer:

Radius of orbit = 3.992 × 10^{7} m

Altitude of Satellite =33541.9×  m

Explanation:

Formula for gravitational force for a satellite of mass m  moving in an orbit of radius r around a planet of mass M is given by;

F= G\frac{m M}{r^{2} }

Where G = Gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10-11 \frac{m^{3} }{Kg sec^{2} }

We are given

F= 800 N

m = 320 Kg

M = 5.972 × 10^{24} Kg

G = 6.67408 × 10-11 \frac{m^{3} }{Kg sec^{2} }

We have to find radius r =?

putting values in formula;

==> 800 =6.67408 ×10^{-11}× 320 × 5.972 × 10^{24} / r^{2}

==> 800= 39.8576 × 10^{13} × 320 / r^{2}

==> 800 = 12754.43 × 10^{13} / r^{2}

==> r^{2} = 12754.43 × 10^{13} /800

==> r^{2}=15.94 × 10^{13}

==> r =  3.992 × 10^{7} m

==> r = 39920×10^{3} m

This is the distance of satellite from center of earth. To find altitude we need distance from surface of earth. So we will subtract radius of earth from this number to find altitude.

Radius of earth =6378.1 km = 6378.1 × 10^{3} m

Altitude = 39920×10^{3} - 6378.1 ×

In what setting do all frequencies of electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed?
Irina-Kira [14]
All electromagnetic waves travel in vacuum (space) at the speed of light (3 * 10^8 m/s). Radio waves is just a member of the electromagnetic spectrum. All electromagnetic waves follow the wave equation: speed = frequency * wavelength. With all electromagnetic waves, the speed in space is the same.

drek231 [11]

Answer:

3120J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

C  = Specific heat capacity  = 0.8J/g°C

Initial temperature  = 20°C

Mass given   = 5g

Final temperature  = 800°C

Unknown:

Energy given to the mass  = ?

Solution:

To find the energy given to the mass, let us simply use the expression below:

          H   =   m   c   ΔT

H is the unknown, the energy supplied

m is the mass of the substance

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the change in temperature

Input the variables;

            H    = 5  x   0.8    x    (800 - 20)  = 3120J

The position of an electron is given by , with t in seconds and in meters. At t = 3.99 s, what are (a) the x-component, (b) the
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

A. Vx = 3.63 m/s

B. Vy = -45.73 m/s

C. |V| = 45.87 m/s

D. θ = -85.46°

Explanation:

Given that position, r, is given as:

r = 3.63tˆi − 5.73t^2ˆj + 8.16ˆk

Velocity is the derivative of position, r:

V = dr/dt = 3.63 - 11.46t^j

A. x component of velocity, Vx = 3.63 m/s

B. y component of velocity, Vy = -11.46t

t = 3.99 secs,

Vy = - 11.46 * 3.99 = -45.73 m/s

C. Magnitude of velocity, |V| = √[(-45.73)² + 3.63²]

|V| = √(2091.2329 + 13.1769)

|V| = √(2104.4098)

|V| = 45.87 m/s

D. Angle of the velocity relative to the x axis, θ is given as:

tanθ = Vy/Vx

tanθ = -45.73/3.63

tanθ = -12.6

θ = -85.46°

When a 58g tennis ball is served, it accelerates from rest to a constant speed of 36 m/s. The impact with the racket gives the b
inysia [295]
We first calculate the acceleration on the ball using:
2as = v² - u²; u = 0 because ball is initially at rest
a = (36)²/(2 x  0.35)
a = 1850 m/s²
F = ma
F = 0.058 x 1850
= 107.3 Newtons
