An Earth satellite needs to have its orbit changed so the new orbit will be twice as far from the center of Earth as the origina

l orbit. The new orbital period will be twice as long as the original period. O true O false

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

From Kepler's Third Law of plenetary motion, we know that:

<em>"The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit."</em>

Or, as expressed in mathematical terms:

\frac{a^3}{T^2}=constant, where <em>a</em> is the semi-major axis of the orbit (the distance from the center), and <em>T </em>is the orbital period of the satellite.

From this expression we can clearly see that if the orbit's semi-major axis is doubled, orbital period will be \sqrt{8} times longer to compensate the variation.

A "moving sidewalk" in an airport terminal moves at 1.0 m/s and is 35.0 m long. If a woman steps on at one end and walks at 1.5
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

a.14 s

b.70 s

Explanation:

a.Let the sidewalk moving in positive x- direction.

Speed  of sidewalk relative to ground=v_s=1m/s

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=1.5m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground

v_w=v_s+v=1+1.5=2.5m/s

Distance=35 m

Time=\frac{distance}{speed}

Using the formula

Time taken by women to reach the opposite end if she walks in the same direction the sidewalk is moving=\frac{35}{v_w}=\frac{35}{2.5}=14s

b.If she gets on at the end opposite the end in part (a)

Then, we take displacement negative.

Speed  of sidewalk relative to ground=v_s=1m/s

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=-1.5 m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground=v_w=v_s+v=1-1.5=-0.5m/s

Time=\frac{-35}{-0.5}=70 s

Hence, the women takes 70 s to reach the opposite end if she walks in the opposite direction the sidewalk is moving.
