Meaning of geosynchronous satellite

<u>Meaning of geosynchronous satellite:</u>

A satellite above Earth placed in a geosynchronous circular orbit, inclined at an angle with the equatorial plane of Earth and orbiting at an orbital period equal to that of earth’s rotational period is termed as a geosynchronous satellite. Geosynchronous orbit is a High Earth orbit at a distance of 42,164 kilometres from the centre of earth such that the gravitational pull from earth is fair enough for the object in orbital motion to match with the speed of earth’s rotational period (24 hrs)

As an observer from ground, a geosynchronous satellite appears to be at a stationary point, at any part of the day; since it's velocity synchronizes with the angular velocity that of earth. A geosynchronous satellite orbiting in an equatorial plane without any inclinations is termed as a geostationary satellite.

A car traveling at 28.0 m/s28.0 m/s hits a bridge abutment. A passenger in the car, who has a mass of 66.0 kg,66.0 kg, moves for
netineya [11]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: F = 924 N

Explanation:

Data

v = 28 m/s

m = 66 kg

d = 56 cm

F = ?

Formula

v = d/t

a = v/t

F = ma

Process

                          t = d/v = 56 / 28 = 2 s

                          a = v/t = 28 / 2 = 14 m/s²

                          F = 66 (14) = 924 N

what is the period of a sound wave whose wavelength is 20.0m? use values from the book and show all of your work
Lera25 [3.4K]
The wavelength of a sound wave is related to its frequency by the relationship:
f= \frac{v}{\lambda}
where
f is the frequency
v is the speed of the wave
\lambda is the wavelength

The wave in our problem has wavelength of \lambda=20.0 m and speed of v=343 m/s (this is the speed of sound in air), therefore its frequency is
f= \frac{343 m/s}{20.0 m}=17.15 Hz

And the period of the wave is equal to the reciprocal of its frequency:
T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{17.15 Hz}=0.058 s

The diagram here shows an image being formed by a convex lens. Compared to the object at right, the image at left is-
natima [27]

Answer:

Smaller and upside down

Explanation:

To answer the question, we must recognise that the characteristics of the image formed by a convex lens depends on the position of the object from the lens.

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

1. The image is smaller than the object.

2. The image is inverted i.e upside down.

3. The image is closer to the lens

4. The image between 2f and f

Now, considering the options given in question above, the correct answer to the question is:

The image is smaller and upside down.

Whose series of experiments identified the nucleus of the atom?
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Rutherford

Explanation:

In 1911, E. Rutherford and his collaborators bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha (positive) particles, coming from a radioactive material, at high speed. The experiment allowed observing the following behavior in the released particles: Most of them passed through the sheet without changing direction, as expected. Some deviated considerably e. A few particles bounced towards the emission source.

In the Rutherford Model the positive charge is concentrated in a central nucleus, so that the positive particles that pass very close to it, deviate enough from their initial trajectory and only those few that collide directly with the nucleus return in the direction of which they come from .

The Rutherford Model states that: The atom has a central zone or nucleus where the total positive charge (that of the protons) and most of the mass of the atom, provided by the protons and neutrons. It also has an outer zone or cortex where electrons are found, which revolve around the nucleus. (Actually, the nucleus particles (protons and neutrons) were discovered after Rutherford established his model. Rutherford's experiment only reported a small, positive nucleus, did not clarify anything else) .
