The formula for velocity at any point within an orbit is
v = sqrt(mu(2/r - 1/a))
where
v = velocity
mu = standard gravitational parameter (GM)
r = radius satellite currently at
a = semi-major axis
Since the orbit is assumed to be circular, the equation is simplified to
v = sqrt(mu/r)
The value of mu for earth is
3.986004419 Ă— 10^14 m^3/s^2
Now we need to figure out how many seconds one orbit of the space station takes. So
86400 / 15.65 = 5520.767 seconds
And the distance the space station travels is 2 pi r, and since velocity is distance divided by time, we get the following as the station's velocity
2 pi r / 5520.767
Finally, combining all that gets us the following equality
v = 2 pi r / 5520.767
v = sqrt(mu/r)
mu = 3.986004419 Ă— 10^14 m^3/s^2
2 pi r / 5520.767 s = sqrt(3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 / r)
Square both sides
1.29527 * 10^-6 r^2 s^2 = 3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 / r
Multiply both sides by r
1.29527 * 10^-6 r^3 s^2 = 3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2
Divide both sides by 1.29527 * 10^-6 s^2
r^3 = 3.0773498781296 * 10^20 m^3
Take the cube root of both sides
r = 6751375.945 m
Since we actually want how far from the surface of the earth the space station is, we now subtract the radius of the earth from the radius of the orbit. For this problem, I'll be using the equatorial radius. So
6751375.945 m - 6378137.0 m = 373238.945 m
Converting to kilometers and rounding to 4 significant figures gives

The time lapse between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Velocity of sound (v) = 343 m/s
Distance (x) = 8.42 m
Time (t) =?
We can obtain obtained the time as illustrated below:
v = 2x / t
343 = 2 × 8.42 / t
343 = 16.84 / t
Cross multiply
343 × t = 16.84
Divide both side by 343
t = 16.84/343
t = 0.05 s
Thus, the time between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.
<h3>
How does a bat know how far away something is?</h3>
A bat emits a sound wave and carefully listens to the echoes that return to it. The returning information is processed by the bat's brain in the same way that we processed our shouting sound with a stopwatch and calculator. The bat's brain determines the distance of an object by measuring how long it takes for a noise to return.

Correction question:
A bat emits a sonar sound wave (343 m/s) that bounces off a mosquito 8.42 m away. How much time elapses between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo? (Unit = s)
Answer:
(a) m = 33.3 kg
(b) d = 150 m
(c) vf = 30 m/s
Explanation:
Newton's second law to the block:
∑F = m*a Formula (1)
∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)
m : mass s (kg)
a : acceleration (m/s²)
Data
F= 100 N
a= 3.0 m/s²
(a) Calculating of the mass of the block:
We replace dta in the formula (1)
F = m*a
100 = m*3
m = 100 / 3
m = 33.3 kg
Kinematic analysis
Because the block moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formulas:
d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² Formula (2)
vf= v₀+a*t Formula (3)
Where:
d:displacement in meters (m)
t : time interval in seconds (s)
v₀: initial speed in m/s
vf: final speed in m/s
a: acceleration in m/s²
Data
a= 3.0 m/s²
v₀= 0
t = 10 s
(b) Distance the block will travel if the force is applied for 10 s
We replace dta in the formula (2):
d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t²
d = 0+ (1/2)*(3)*(10)²
d =150 m
(c) Calculate the speed of the block after the force has been applied for 10 s
We replace dta in the formula (3):
vf= v₀+a*t
vf= 0+(3*(10)
vf= 30 m/s
