Heavy objects pick up momentum faster then lighter objects can, so I would say heavy objects. Good luck :)

Heaver objects because they have greater mass

What are the 2 main categories of boat hull designs and how does each one function? What are the positives and negatives of each
defon

Answer:

The two main categories of boat hull designs are;

  • Displacement Hull
  • Planning Hull

Explanation:

<u>Displacement Hull</u>

This type of boat hull is designed to displace certain amount of water as it moves. This displacement enable it to insert its body into the water and continue to displace water from its was as it moves. The weight of water displaced is usually equal to the weight of the boat.

Displacement Hull and Speed

Because of the need to displace water from its path to enable it insert itself into the water body for movement, the speed is usually slow compared to planning hull boats.

Displacement Hull Types:

  • Round bottomed hull boat: Their hulls are made to have a round bottom in order to displace water and move smoothly through it. It can move quietly at low speed. How ever, they require complex stabilizer to control them from banking.
  • Multi hull boat: This type of hull design has a large and long beam that make it to be very stable on the water body. They usually have ends pointed downwards for proper insertion and displacement. However, they don't turn easily on small space due to their large beam requirement.

<u>Planning Hull</u>

Planning hull boats are designed to slide very fasly on the water surface with very little or no insertion. They require boat engines that operates at a very high revolution per minute(rpm).

When at rest, that is at zero speed, they behave like displacement hull boats but only a small amount of water is displaced a they are usually lighter.

Planning hull boats can operate in three modes:

  • Displacement mode: This mode is used when planning hull boats move at extremely slow speed. At this mode, they push water side ways as they move.
  • Planning mode: This mode is activated as the speed of the boat increases to enable it glide on the surface of the water.
  • Plowing mode: This mode is reach when the bow of the boat is trusted up and suspended as it slides through the surface of the water at a very high speed

Planning Hull and Speed

The speed of planning hull boats is very high when compared to displacement hull boats. This high speed of operation is powered by high rpm engines to enable it slide on the surface of the water.

Planning Hull Types/Merit and Demerit

  • Flat Bottom Hull: Their hull is flat bottom shaped and has a draft that supports its suspension on water on a stable manner. Suitable for stable water. However, it moves haphazardly on shaky water.
  • Deep Vee Hull: It has a V-shape hull that points towards the water body. Its V-shape makes it glide through rough water surfaces more smoothly than the flat bottom hull. However, it requires more power to operate and easily banks during sharp turning.

What linear speed must an Earth satellite have to be in a circular orbit at an altitude of 203 km above Earth's surface
juin [17]

Answer:

7,790.38 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following :

What linear speed must an Earth satellite have to be in a circular orbit at an altitude of 203 km above Earth's surface

Altitude = 203 km

Using the formula :

V = √GM/r

Where G = gravitational constant =6.67×10^-11

Kindly check attached picture for detailed explanation.

Why can voyager 1 maintain its speed?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

based on my opinion

The smart guys at NASA designed the trajectory such that as they passed Jupiter, they gained some speed by being dragged along by Jupiter

This is called a gravity assist . Voyager 2 picked up about 18 km / s of velocity from that Jupiter gravity assist ...

<em>Hope</em><em> this</em><em> helps</em>

wolverine [178]
The distance from the Sun to the Earth is 149,600,000 km.

d=149 600 000 \ km = 149 600 000 000 \ m = 1496 \cdot 10^8 \ m \\&#10;v=2 \cdot 10^6 \ \frac{m}{s} \\ \\ \\&#10;t=\frac{d}{v} \\ \\&#10;t=\frac{1496 \cdot 10^8 \ m}{2 \cdot 10^6 \ \frac{m}{s}}=748 \cdot 10^2 \ s =\frac{748 \cdot 10^2 }{36 \cdot 10^2} \ h \approx \underline{\underline{20,78 \ h}}

The force of replusion between two like charged particles will increase if​
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The distance of separation is decreased

Explanation:

From Cuolomb's law, we know that the strength of charge is inversely proportional to the distance of separation between the charges. To mean that increasing the distance let's say from 2m to 3 m would mean initial strength getting form 1/4 to 1/9 which is a decrease. The vice versa is true hence the force of repulsion can increase only when we decrease the distance of separation.
