Answer:

The radius of orbit=2.49\times 10^7 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Orbital speed=4.00\times 10^3m/s

We have to find the radius of orbit of spacecraft.

We know that

Gravitational constant=6.67\times 10^{-11}m^3/kgs^2

Mass of earth=5.972\times 10^{24} kg

Orbital speed=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

Where G= Gravitational constant

M=Mass of earth

r=Radius of orbit

Substitute the values in the formula

4\times 10^3=\sqrt{\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{r}

Squaring on both sides

16\times 10^6=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{r}

r=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{16\times 10^6}

r=2.49\times 10^7 m

Hence, the radius of orbit=2.49\times 10^7 m

Elenna [48]

Answer:

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}

Explanation:

The period of the simple pendulum is:

T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

Where:

l - Cord length, in m.

g - Gravity constant, in \frac{m}{s^{2}}.

Given that the same pendulum is test on each planet, the following relation is formed:

T_{1}^{2}\cdot g_{1} = T_{2}^{2}\cdot g_{2}

The ratio of the gravitational constant on planet CornTeen to the gravitational constant on planet Earth is:

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} \right)^{2}

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{2\,s}{4\,s} \right)^{2}

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}

The latin word (Cirro) mean that the clouds are in high level <br><br> True of false?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Latin word "Cirro" means "curly" or "curl of hair" as in a cirrocumulus cloud. Cirrocumulus clouds are wispy clouds, and while they do appear high in the sky, the word "cirro" does not mean high in level.

Therefore, the answer is False.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡

What type of electrical cord has a ground?<br><br> 3 pronged cord<br><br> 2 pronged cord
Kisachek [45]
<h3>Answer: A) 3 pronged cord</h3>

Explanation:

One prong is known as the hot wire, where the electricity comes in, while the second prong is the neutral wire and electricity leaves. Recall that a circuit must be made for electrons to flow. This means that electrons enters your house through the transmission wires and then the electrons leave along the same lines they entered (just along a different wire).

This set up describes a 2 pronged cord. Adding a third prong allows for a grounding to happen. In the event of an electrical surge, when too many electrons are flowing, disaster is likely to happen without some kind of safety features. The grounding prong allows electrons to seek the ground. You can think of it like a drain in a bathtub when too much water gets in the tub.
