<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.

An electric lamp consumes 60W at 220 volts. How many dry cells of 1.5 V and internal resistance 1 Ohm are required to glow the l
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

1. Number of dry cells of 1.5 V required is 40.

2. Number of internal resistance of 1 ohm required is 807

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the resistance. This can be obtained as follow:

Power (P) = 60 W

Voltage (V) = 220 V

Resistance (R) =?

P = V²/R

60 = 220² / R

Cross multiply

60 × R = 220²

60 × R = 48400

Divide both side by 60

R = 48400 / 60

R ≈ 807 Ohm

1. Determination of the number of dry cells of 1.5 V required.

Voltage (V) = 220

Dry Cells = 1.5 V

Number of dry cells (n) =?

n = Voltage / Dry cells

n = 60 / 1.5

n = 40

2. Determination of the number of internal resistance of 1 ohm required.

Resistance (R) = 807 Ohm

Internal resistance (r) = 1 ohm

Number of internal resistance (n) =?

n = R/r

n = 807 / 1

n = 807

SUMMARY:

1. Number of dry cells of 1.5 V required is 40.

2. Number of internal resistance of 1 ohm required is 807

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,700 years. How long will it take for 6.25% of the Carbon-14 to be remaining?
kupik [55]

Half life is 5700 years,that is 50%.

6.25% means 1/16 of the life is left.

T^1/16 =T^1/2*4.

5700 × 4 =22800 years

A pendulum bob executing simple harmonic motion has 2cm and 12Hz as amplitude and frequency respectively. Calculate the period o
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The amplitude is extraneous information for this question.

Period (T) is simply a measure of time (how long it takes to complete a full cycle).

The frequency (f), is the reciprocal (how many cycles it can complete per unit of time).

The frequency reported is 12Hz.  Hz is a unit meaning "cycles per second"

Thus 12cycles = 1second.

To find the number of seconds per cycle, simply create the other unit fraction and simplify:

T=\frac{1second}{12cycles}\\T=0.8\bar{3}\frac{seconds}{cycle}\\

T=0.83seconds

An x-ray photon is scattered by an originally stationary electron. how does the frequency of the scattered photon compare relati
Viefleur [7K]

The frequency of the scattered photon decreases or it will be lower compare to the frequency of incident photon. An x-ray photon scatters in one direction after a collision and some energy is transferred to the electron as it recoils in another direction resulting to have less energy in the scattered photon. In addition, the frequencies will also depend on the differences of the angle at which the scattered photon leaves the collision and this incident is called Compton Effect.
