The international space station makes 15.65 revolutions per day in its orbit around the earth. assuming a circular orbit, how hi
sweet-ann [11.9K]
<span>373.2 km 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 373.2 km</span>

A point charge of 6.0 nC is placed at the center of a hollow spherical conductor (inner radius = 1.0 cm, outer radius = 2.0 cm)
egoroff_w [7]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

             q = 6.0 nC = 6 \times 10^{-9} C

         inner radius (r) = 1.0 cm = 0.01 m   (as 1 cm = 100 m)

So, there will be same charge on the inner surface as the charge enclosed with an opposite sign.

Formula to calculate the charge density is as follows.

            \sigma = \frac{q_{in}}{A} .......... (1)

Since, area of the sphere is as follows.

               A = 4 \pi r^{2} ........... (2)

Hence, substituting equation (2) in equation (1) as follows.

      \sigma = \frac{q_{in}}{4 \pi r^{2}}

                   = \frac{6 \times 10^{-9} C}{4 \times 3.14 \times (0.01)^{2}}            

                   = 0.477 \times 10^{-5}

or,               = 4.77 \mu C/m^{2}

Thus, we can conclude that the resulting charge density on the inner surface of the conducting sphere is 4.77 \mu C/m^{2}.

Sam, whose mass is 60 Kg, is riding on a 5.0 kg sled initially traveling at 8.0 m/s. He
umka2103 [35]
<h3>Answer:  130 newtons</h3>

===============================================================

Explanation:

We'll need the acceleration first.

  • The initial speed (let's call that Vi) is 8.0 m/s
  • The final speed (Vf) is 0 m/s since Sam comes to a complete stop at the end.
  • This happens over a duration of t = 4.0 seconds

The acceleration is equal to the change in speed over change in time

a = acceleration

a = (change in speed)/(change in time)

a = (Vf - Vi)/(4 seconds)

a = (0 - 8.0)/4

a = -8/4

a = -2

The acceleration is -2 m/s^2, meaning that Sam slows down by 2 m/s every second. Negative accelerations are often associated with slowing down. The term "deceleration" can be used here.

Here's a further break down of Sam's speeds at the four points of interest

  • At 0 seconds, he's going 8 m/s
  • At the 1 second mark, he's slowing down to 8-2 = 6 m/s
  • At the 2 second mark, he's now at 6-2 = 4 m/s
  • At the 3 second mark, he's at 4-2 = 2 m/s
  • Finally, at the 4 second mark, he's at 2-2 = 0 m/s

Next, we'll apply Newton's Second Law of motion

F = m*a

where,

  • F = force applied
  • m = mass
  • a = acceleration

We just found the acceleration, and the mass is fairly easy as all we need to do is add Sam's mass with the sled's mass to get 60+5.0 = 65 kg

So the force applied must be:

F = m*a

F = 65*(-2)

F = -130 newtons

This force is negative to indicate it's pushing against the sled's momentum to slow Sam down.

The magnitude of this force is |F| = |-130| = 130 newtons

This problem is based on the whole idea of pressure but I’m having trouble on when the area circle formula is included.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

6.23x10^6Pa

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

F (force) = 490N

r (radius) = 0.005m

A (area of the circlular heel) =?

P (pressure) =.?

First, we'll begin by calculating the area of the circlular heel. This is illustrated below:

Area of circle = πr^2

Area = 22/7 x (0.00)^2

Area = 7.86x10^-5m^2

Pressure is simply force per unit area. It represented mathematically as

Pressure = Force /Area

Pressure = 490/7.86x10^-5

Pressure = 6.23x10^6N/m2

Recall: 1N/m2 = 1Pa

Therefore, 6.23x10^6N/m2 = 6.23x10^6Pa

Therefore, the woman exert a pressure of 6.23x10^6Pa on the floor
