Answer:

The acceleration of the satellite is 0.87 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

The acceleration in a circular motion is defined as:

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}  (1)

Where a is the centripetal acceleration, v the velocity and r is the radius.

The equation of the orbital velocity is defined as

v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T} (2)

Where r is the radius and T is the period

For this particular case, the radius will be the sum of the high of the satellite (1.50x10^{7} m) and the Earth radius (6.38x10^{6} m) :

r = 1.50x10^{7} m+6.38x10^{6}m

r = 21.38x10^{6}m

Then, equation 2 can be used:

T = 8.65 hrs \cdot \frac{3600 s}{1hrs} ⇒ 31140 s

v = \frac{2 \pi (21.38x10^{6}m)}{31140s}

v = 4313 m/s

Finally equation 1 can be used:

a = \frac{(4313m/s)^{2}}{21.38x10^{6}m}    

a = 0.87 m/s^{2}

Hence, the acceleration of the satellite is 0.87 m/s^{2}

Plants make ___________ using carbon dioxide, water and energy from the sun.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

I think it's carbohydrates

Explanation:

The energy from light causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas.

If two lines in a system of linear equations have the same slope and same y-intercept, how many solutions will the system have?
arsen [322]

Answer:

We will have <u>infinite solutions </u>to the system of linear equations.

Explanation:

Well, when we have two lines with the <u>same slopes and the same y-interception</u>, both of them <u>are overlapped, </u>so we will have <u>infinite solutions </u>to the system of linear equations.

This kind of system is called <u>dependent system.</u>

I hope it helps you!

Big Al stands on a skateboard at a rest and throws a 0.5-kilogram rock at a velocity of 10.0 m /sec. Big Al moves back at 0.05 m
Vlada [557]
Let
his and skateboard's combined mass is x
we know
F1=-F2
0.5kg*10m/s=-0.05m/s xkg
5=0.05x(minus cancel with the m/s as it represented the opposite direction of velocity and now there is no velocity in this equation.. so minus is avoidable. and the kgs cancel out)
x=10
so their combined mass is a 100 kg.. (I hope I didn't mess thing up for you)

Two solenoids A and B, spaced close to each other and sharing the same cylindrical axis, have 430 and 610 turns, respectively. A
KIM [24]

Answer

given,

Two solenoids A and B

Number of turn

Na = 430 turns          Nb = 610 turns

Current = 2.80 A

Average flux through  A  = 300 μWb

Average of flux through B = 90.0  μ Wb

a) L = \dfrac{N \phi}{I}

   L = \dfrac{610\times 90 \times 10^{-6}}{2.80}

   L =19.6 mH

b) inductance of A

   L = \dfrac{N_A \phi_A}{I_A}

   L = \dfrac{430\times 300 \times 10^{-6}}{2.80}

   L =46 mH

c) magnitude of the emf

    \epsilon_B = -L_B\dfrac{dI}{dT}

    \epsilon_B = -(19.6\times 10^{-3})(0.5)

    \epsilon_B = -9.8\times 10^{-3}\ V

    \epsilon_B = -9.8\ mV
