Answer:

24 miles

Explanation:

Make a proportion

He is traveling at a constant rate of 12 miles/hour, so

he can go 12 miles in 1 hour, and x miles in 2 hours

12/1=x/2

Multiply both sides by 2

2*12/1=x/2 *2

24=x

So, in 2 hours he can travel 24 miles

A geosynchronous satellite moves in a circular orbit around the Earth and completes one circle in the same time T during which t

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The time period of geosynchronous satellite must be equal to T .

The radius of its orbit will be ( R+ h )

orbital velocity V₀ = $\sqrt{\frac{GM}{( R+h)} }$

Time period T = 2π( R + h ) / V₀

= 2π( R + h ) x $\sqrt{\frac{( R+h)}{GM } }$

$\frac{T^\frac{2}{3}(GM)^\frac{1}{3} }{(2\pi )^\frac{2}{3} }$ = R +h

h = $\frac{T^\frac{2}{3}(GM)^\frac{1}{3} }{(2\pi )^\frac{2}{3} }$ - R.

Suppose that a constant force is applied to an object. Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of the object

omeli [17]

(9 kg)(5 m/s^2) = M(3 m/s^2)
that the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass.

3. Imagine a 10kg block moving with a speed of 20m/s calculate the kinetic energy of this block

MatroZZZ [7]

The formula of the kinetic energy is:
$E_{k} = \frac{m v^{2} }{2}$
where m is a mass of the object, v is speed of the object at the moment of time. So we have:
$E_{k} = \frac{10* 20^{2} }{2} = 2000J$
The answer is 2000 Joules.

Verdich [7]

Answer: Acted on by equal forces in opposite direction

Explanation:

Newton's First Law says that every body continue in its state of rest or constant speed on a straight line unless being acted upon by an external force.
