The distance covered in one orbit is equal to the circumference of earth.

Given that radius of earth is 3959 miles.

Circumference of earth= 2πr = 2*3.14*3959 = 24875.13 miles

Speed is 26,000 miles per hour.

Since, Velocity= Distance/Time

Time= Distance/Velocity = 24875.13/26000

Time = 0.9567 hours

Therefore,

Average hour per orbit is 0.957 approximately.

A book on a 2-meter high shelf has a mass of 0.4 kg. What is its potential energy?

poizon [28]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 7.84 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

$PE=m*g*h$

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration, and h is the height.

The mass of the book is 0.4 kilograms. The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s². The height of the book is 2 meters.

$m=0.4 \ kg \\g=9.8 \ m/s^2 \\h=2\ m$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$PE=(0.4 \ kg)(9.8 \ m/s^2)(2 \ m)$

Multiply the first two numbers.

0.4 kg*9.8 m/s²= 3.92 kg*m/s²
If we convert the units now, the problem will be much easier later on.
1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 Newton. So, our answer of 3.92 kg*m/s² is equal to 3.92 N

$PE=(3.92 \ N )(2 \ m)$

Multiply.

3.92 N* 2 m=7.84 N*m
1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule (this is why we converted the units).
Our answer is equal to 7.84 Joules.

$PE=7.84 \ J$

Space-faring astronauts cannot use standard weight scales (since they are constantly in free fall) so instead they determine the

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

ma = 48.48kg

Explanation:

To find the mass of the astronaut, you first calculate the mass of the chair by using the information about the period of oscillation of the empty chair and the spring constant. You use the following formula:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m_c}{k}}$ (1)

mc: mass of the chair

k: spring constant = 600N/m

T: period of oscillation of the chair = 0.9s

You solve the equation (1) for mc, and then you replace the values of the other parameters:

$m_c=\frac{T^2k}{4\pi^2}=\frac{(0.9s)^2(600N/m)}{4\pi^2}=12.31kg$ (2)

Next, you calculate the mass of the chair and astronaut by using the information about the period of the chair when the astronaut is sitting on the chair:

T': period of chair when the astronaut is sitting = 2.0s

M: mass of the astronaut plus mass of the chair = ?

$T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{M}{k}}\\\\M=\frac{T'^2k}{4\pi^2}=\frac{(2.0s)^2(600N/m)}{4\pi^2}\\\\M=60.79kg$ (3)

Finally, the mass of the astronaut is the difference between M and mc (results from (2) and (3)) :

$m_a=M-m_c=60.79kg-12.31kg=48.48kg$

The mass of the astronaut is 48.48 kg

Water flows without friction vertically downward through a pipe and enters a section where the cross sectional area is larger. T

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

$v_{2}$ will be less than $v_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ will be greater than $P_{1}$ .

Explanation:

As we know from the conservation of mass, the rate at which any amount of fluid mass ( $m_{1}$ ) is entering in a system is equal to the rate at which the same amount of fluid mass ( $m_{2}$ ) is leaving the system.

Rate of mass flow can be written as,

$m = \rho A v$

where $\rho$ is the density of the fluid, $A$ is the area through which the fluid is flowing and $v$ is the velocity of the fluid.

Now, according to the problem, as the density of the fluid does not change, we can write

$&& m_{1} = m_{2}\\&or,& \rho A_{1} v_{1} = \rho A_{2} v_{2}\\&or,& \dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \dfrac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}$

where $A_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ are the cross-sectional areas through which the fluid is passing and $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ are the velocities of the fluid through the respective cross-sectional areas.

As according to the problem, $A_{2} > A_{1}$ , so from the above formula $v_{2} < v_{1}$ .

Also we know that fluid pressure is created by the motion of the fluid through any area. When the fluid gains speed, some of its energy is used to move faster in the fluid’s direction of motion. It causes in a lower pressure.

So, as in this case $v_{2} < v_{1}$ the pressure in the large cross-sectional area $P_{2}$ will be greater than the pressure $P_{1}$ in the small cross sectional area, i.e.,

$P_{2} > P_{1}$ .
