2 answers:

8 0

The thermosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere. The thermosphere is directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. It extends from about 90 km (56 miles) to between 500 and 1,000 km (311 to 621 miles) above our planet.

NISA [10]

The first step that Enrique must take in order to calculate the tangential speed of the satellite is to convert the period from days to seconds.

We know that the SI unit of speed is meter per second and now, we with to obtain the tangential speed of the satellite.

Since the period is given in days, the first step is to convert the period from days to seconds.

A research vessel is mapping the bottom of the ocean using sonar. It emits a short sound pulse called "ping" downward. The frequ

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

d = 4180.3m

wavelengt of sound is 0.251m

Explanation:

Given that

frequency of the sound is 5920 Hz

v=1485m/s

t=5.63s

let d represent distance from the vessel to the ocean bottom.

an echo travels a distance equivalent to 2d, that is to and fro after it reflects from the obstacle.

$velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\\\ v=\frac{2d}{t} \\\\vt=2d\\\\d=\frac{vt}{2}$

$d=\frac{1485*5.63}{2}\\d= 4180.3m$

wavelengt of sound is $\lambda$ = v/f

= (1485)/(5920)

= 0.251 m

A mass resting on a horizontal, frictionless surface is attached to one end of a spring; the other end is fixed to a wall. It ta

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

(a) 185 N/m

(b) 3.083 kg

Explanation:

(a)

Using,

E = 1/2ke²....................... Equation 1

Where E = work done to compress the spring, k = spring constant of the spring, e = compression of the spring.

make k the subject of the equation

k = 2E/e²............... Equation 2

Given: E = 3.7 J, e = 0.20 m

Substitute into equation 2

k = 2(3.7)/0.2²

k = 185 N/m.

(b)

Using,

F = ma.............. Equation 2

Where F = force applied to the spring, m = mass attached to the spring, a = acceleration of the spring.

But from hook's law,

F = ke................. Equation 3

substitute equation 3 into equation 2

ke = ma

make m the subject of the equation

m = ke/a................ Equation 4

Given: k = 185 N/m, e = 0.2 m, a = 12 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

m = 185(0.2)/12

m = 3.083 kg

Is 40 mph possible to run?

Bogdan [553]

The likelihood of reaching 40 miles per hour is very slim. Several factors are related to how quickly somebody can run, which is why only one person has ever run 28 miles per hour.Catch a sprinter smashing a speed record and they look like they could keep up with a car chase. 40 MPH: The fastest speed humans can run. The current fastest human in the world is Usain Bolt, who can run at nearly 28 miles per hour.Steve in Davis, Calif. So far, the fastest anyone has run is about 27½ miles per hour, a speed reached (briefly) by sprinter Usain Bolt just after the midpoint of his world-record 100-meter dash in 2009.
