Answer:

112.17 m/s

56.427 years

Explanation:

h = 3.18 x 10^10 m

R = 6.4 x 10^6 m

r = R + h = 3.18064 x 10^10 m

M = 6 x 10^24 kg

The formula for the orbital velocity is given by

v = \sqrt{\frac{G M }{r}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 6\times 10^{24}  }{3.18064\times 10^{10}}}

v = 112.17 m/s

Orbital period, T = 2 x 3.14 x 3.18064 x 10^10 / 112.17

T = 0.178 x 10^10 s

T = 56.427 years

car is moving at 40 m/s. At 10 meters the driver spots a deer on the road and instantly steps on the brakes. If the car is 400 k
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

32000 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Distance (s) = 10 m

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Mass (m) of car = 400 Kg

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the the car. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Distance (s) = 10 m

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) =?

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 40² + (2 × a × 10)

0 = 1600 + 20a

Collect like terms

0 – 1600 = 20a

–1600 = 20a

Divide both side by –1600

a = –1600 / 20

a = –80 m/s²

The negative sign indicate that the car is decelerating i.e coming to rest.

Finally, we shall determine the force needed to stop the car. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) of car = 400 Kg

Acceleration (a) = –80 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = ma

F = 400 × –80

F = – 32000 N

NOTE: The negative sign indicate that the force is in opposite direction to the motion of the car.

Q1. After three half-lives of an isotope, 1 billion of the original isotope's atoms still remain in a certain amount of this ele
77julia77 [94]
 <span>If 1 eighth equals 1 billion 7 eighth equals 7 billion. 

The asker of the second question needs a tutorial in radiometric dating. There is little likelihood that the daughter isotope has the same atomic weight as the parent isotope. To measure the mass isotopes doesn't tell us how many atoms of each exist. To get around that let's pretend — which will likely serve the purpose ineptly intended — that the values give an the particle ratio, 125:875. 

The original parent isotope count was 125 + 875 = 1000. The remaining parent isotope is 125/1000 or 1/8. 1/8 = (1/2)^h, where h is the number of half-lives. 

h = log (1/8) ÷ log(1/2) = 3 

And 3 half-lives • 150,000 years/half-life = 450,000 years.</span>

Drag each circle to the correct location on the image. Each circle can be used more than once, but not all circles will be used.

Based on the given information, the type of boundaries these two new plates would share with each other and the Arabian Plate are divergent boundaries.

<h3>Who are geologists?</h3>

A geologist is a scientist who studies the solid, liquid, and gaseous matter that constitutes Earth and other planets.

Geologists have observed that a portion of Africa is breaking away from the main continent. This is happening because the African Plate is in the process of splitting up into two parts. Scientists have named the two new tectonic plates the Nubian Plate and Somalian Plate. Both of these plates are not only moving away from each other but also away from the Arabian Plate.

There are 3 types of boundaries.

At convergent boundaries, the two tectonic plates comes closer to each other.

At divergent boundaries,  the plates move away from each other.

At transform boundaries,  the plates are moving parallel to their boundary.

Based on this, all boundaries will be divergent boundaries.
