Answer:

Orbital speed=8102.39m/s

Time period=2935.98seconds

Explanation:

For the satellite to be in a stable orbit at a height, h, its centripetal acceleration V2R+h must equal the acceleration due to gravity at that distance from the center of the earth g(R2(R+h)2)

V2R+h=g(R2(R+h)2)

V=√g(R2R+h)

V= sqrt(9.8 × (6371000)^2/(6371000+360000)

V= sqrt(9.8× (4.059×10^13/6731000)

V=sqrt(65648789.18)

V= 8102.39m/s

Time period ,T= sqrt(4× pi×R^3)/(G× Mcentral)

T= sqrt(4×3.142×(6.47×10^6)^3/(6.673×10^-11)×(5.98×10^24)

T=sqrt(3.40×10^21)/ (3.99×10^14)

T= sqrt(0.862×10^7)

T= 2935.98seconds

A cheetah can run at approximately 100 km/hr and a gazelle at 80 km/hr. If both animals are running at full speed, with a gazell
zimovet [89]
The cheetah's speed is 100x and The gazelle's speed is 80x + 70. Set the two equations equal to each other: 100x = 80x +70 (then subtract 80x from both sides). 20x = 70 (then divide by 20). X =3.5. The cheetah catches the gazelle after 3.5

What is the maximum weight a boat can hold if a boat can displace 60.5ml?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

a. 60.5 kg

Explanation:

Given data,

The maximum water a boat can displace is, 60.5 ml

According to the principle of buoyancy, the weight of the floating body is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.

Under standard temperature and pressure, a unit mass of water equals one liter.

If a boat can displace a maximum of 60.5 ml of water, then it can hold a mass of a maximum of 60.5 kg of mass.
