Answer: The new velociry is v/√5

Explanation:

The orbital velocity of something that orbits the planet is:

v = √(G*M/r)

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the earth, and r is the orbital radius.

If we now have a radius equal to 5r, then the new velocity will be:

v2 = √(G*M/5r)

we can take the 1/√5 out, and get:

v2 = √(G*M/5r) = √(G*M/r)*(1/√5)  

The first part is equal to the initial velocity, so we can write this as:

√(G*M/r)*(1/√5) = v/√5

Answer:

The neutral wire is often confused with ground wire, but in reality, they serve two distinct purposes. Neutral wires carry currents back to power source to better control and regulate voltage. Its overall purpose is to serve as a path to return energy.

It takes a car 1.75 h to go from mile marker 10 to mile marker 115. What is the average speed of the car? Someone who took this
givi [52]

The distance from mile-mark 10 to mile-mark 115 is (115-10) = 105 miles.

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

Speed = (105 miles) / (1.75 hours)

Speed = (105/1.75) (mi/hr)

<em>Speed = 60 mph</em>  (B)

A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 32 feet per second. Its height, h, in feet after t
LekaFEV [45]
Differentiate the expression, to obtain expression for velocity. Set velocity to 0, this when max height is reached. Obtain the tmax from that expression.

<span>h(t) = –16t² + 32t + 6
</span><span>h'(t) = –32t² + 32
0 = </span>–32t² + 32
t max= 1

hmax = <span> –16(1)² + 32(1) + 6
hmax = 22

Therefore, first option is the correct answer.</span>
