Answer:

a.Beth

b.2232 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance,d=400 mi

Speed of Alan,v=45 mph

Speed of Beth,v'=55 mph

a.Time =\frac{distance}{speed}

Using the formula

Time taken by Alan=\frac{400}{45}=8.89 hr

Time taken by Beth=\frac{400}{55}=7.27hr

Alan will reach San Francisco at 4:53 PM

Beth will reach San Francisco at 4:16 PM

Beth will reach before Alan.

b.Difference between time=8.89-7.27=1.62 hr

t=1.62 hr

1.62-1=0.62 hr

0.62 hr=0.62\times 60\times 60=2232 s

Hence, Beth has to wait 2232 s for Alan to arrive .

A satellite is revolving the earth 4km above the surface.find the orbital velocity of the satellite (R =6400km,g=9.8m/s^2)​
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

v ≈ 7900 m/s

Explanation:

centripetal force will equal gravity force

mv²/R = mg

v²/R = g

v² = Rg

v = √(Rg)

v = √(6.4e6(9.8))

v = 7.91959...e+3

v ≈ 7900 m/s

of course, at those velocities and that deep into the atmosphere, the satellite would quickly burn up, slow down, and cause tremendous damage to buildings etc. with the sonic boom shock wave. It would also have to avoid a lot of mountains as 4000 m is not that high.

Tres móviles, A, B y C, con las mismas características tienen los siguientes estados: A se encuentra inicialmente en reposo y ca
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

La respuesta es sí, hay una fuerza que actúa sobre el móvil A y es la única fuerza ya que A cae libremente bajo la influencia de la fuerza.

Explanation:

Según la primera ley de movimiento de Newton, un cuerpo continuará en su estado de reposo o en un movimiento uniforme en línea recta a menos que actúen sobre él fuerzas impresas.

Dado que el móvil A cae libremente, desde su estado de reposo inicial, según la primera ley de movimiento de Newton, experimenta una fuerza que actúa sobre él para hacer que caiga y continúe en caída libre.

El móvil B se mueve con una velocidad constante, por lo tanto, de acuerdo con la primera ley de movimiento de Newton, no hay fuerzas impresas que actúen sobre él.

El móvil C está completamente en reposo en el suelo, por lo tanto, tampoco hay fuerzas que actúen sobre él.

La respuesta es sí, hay una fuerza actuando sobre el móvil A y es la única fuerza cuando A cae libremente bajo la influencia de la fuerza.

liberstina [14]
Use pythagorean's theorem for this, with 7 as a and 5 as b. pythagorean's theorem says that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, so 7^2 * 5^2 = c^2. this gives you 49 + 25 = c^2, so 74 = c^2. c = sqrt 74, which is approximately 8.60 km
