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

You pull your little sister across a flat snowy field on a sled. Your sister plus the sled have a mass of 22 kg. The rope is at
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of sled, m = 22 kg

Force of pull, F = 31 N

distance move, d = 53 m

Angle between force and distance, θ = 40°

The formula for the work done is

W = F x d x Cos θ

W = 31 x 53 x cos 40

W = 1258.6 J

9. A football punter attempts to kick the football so that it lands on the ground 67.0 m from where it is kicked and stays in th
vichka [17]

Answer:

Angle is 55.52°

and Initial Speed is v=26.48 m/s

Explanation:

Given data

x_{o}=0m\\ y_{o}=1.23m\\a_{oy}=a_{1y}=g=-9.8m/s^{2} \\x_{1}=67.0m\\y_{1}=0m\\t_{o}=0\\a_{ox}=m/s^{2} \\t_{1}=4.50s

Applying the kinematics equations for motion with uniform acceleration in x and y direction

So

x_{1}=x_{o}+v_{ox}t_{1}=67.0m\\0+4.50v_{o}Cos\alpha =67.0m\\v_{o}Cos\alpha =14.99\\v_{o}=14.99/Cos\alpha.....(1) \\and\\y_{1}=y_{o}+v_{oy}t_{1}+(1/2)a_{oy}t_{1}^{2} =0m\\ 1+4.50v_{o}Sin\alpha+(-9.8/2)(4.5)^{2}=0\\  v_{o}Sin\alpha=21.828.....(2)

Put the value of v₀ from equation (1) to equation (2)

So

\frac{14.99}{Cos\alpha }(Sin\alpha ) =21.828\\as\\tan\alpha =Sin\alpha /Cos\alpha \\So\\14.99tan\alpha =21.828\\tan\alpha =21.828/14.99\\\alpha =tan^{-1}(21.828/14.99) \\\alpha =55.52^{o}

Put that angle in equation (1) or equation (2) to find the initial velocity

So from equation (1)

v_{o}=(\frac{14.99}{Cos\alpha } ) \\v_{o}=(\frac{14.99}{Cos(55.52) } ) \\v_{o}=26.48m/s

A block is thrown with an initial velocity of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 25.0o above the horizontal. What is the highest elevation
Serga [27]

The highest elevation reached by the ball in its trajectory is 16.4 m.

To find the answer, we need to know about the maximum height reached in a projectile.

What's the mathematical expression of the maximum height reached in a projectile motion?

  • The maximum height= U²× sin²(θ)/g
  • U= initial velocity, θ= angle of projectile with horizontal and g= acceleration due to gravity

What's the maximum height reached by a block that is thrown with an initial velocity of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 25° above the horizontal?

  • Here, U = 30.0 m/s and θ= 25°
  • Maximum height= 30²× sin²(25)/9.8

= 16.4m

Thus, we can conclude that the highest elevation reached by the ball in its trajectory is 16.4 m.
