Answer:

0.4752 oz.

Explanation:

Length = 1000 ft

Converting ft to inches,

12 in = 1 ft

1000 ft = 1000 * 12

= 12000 in

0.05082 in = 0.12908 cm

Mass = 19.8 lb

Converting lb to oz,

1 ounce = 0.0625 lb

1 lb = 1/0.0625 oz

19.8 lb = 1/0.0625 * 19.8

= 316.8 ounce

Since, 12000 in of copper wire weighs 316.8 ounces.

Therefore, 1 in will weigh = 316.8/12000

= 0.0264 oz

18 in = 0.0264 * 18

= 0.4752 oz.

An artificial satellite is in a circular orbit around a planet of radius r= 2.05 x103 km at a distance d 310.0 km from the plane

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

$\rho = 12580.7 kg/m^3$

Explanation:

As we know that the satellite revolves around the planet then the centripetal force for the satellite is due to gravitational attraction force of the planet

So here we will have

$F = \frac{GMm}{(r + h)^2}$

here we have

$F =\frac {mv^2}{(r+ h)}$

$\frac{mv^2}{r + h} = \frac{GMm}{(r + h)^2}$

here we have

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{(r + h)}}$

now we can find time period as

$T = \frac{2\pi (r + h)}{v}$

$T = \frac{2\pi (2.05 \times 10^6 + 310 \times 10^3)}{\sqrt{\frac{GM}{(r + h)}}}$

$1.15 \times 3600 = \frac{2\pi (2.05 \times 10^6 + 310 \times 10^3)}{\sqrt{\frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(M)}{(2.05 \times 10^6 + 310 \times 10^3)}}}$

$M = 4.54 \times 10^{23} kg$

Now the density is given as

$\rho = \frac{M}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3}$

$\rho = \frac{4.54 \times 10^{23}}{\frac{4}[3}\pi(2.05 \times 10^6)^3}$

$\rho = 12580.7 kg/m^3$

An ant travels 2.78 cm (West) and then turns and travels 6.25 cm (South 40 degrees East). What is the ant's total displacement?

andrey2020 [161]

$From\ cosine\ theorem:\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcos(\angle between\ a\ and\ b)\\\\
a=2,78\\b=6,25\\
\angle between\ a\ and\ b=90+50=140^{\circ}\\\\
c^2=2,78^2+6,25^2-2*2,78*6,25cos(140^{\circ})\\\\
c^2=7,7284+39,0625-34,75*(-0,77)\\\\c^2=46,7909+26,7575\\\\c^2=735484\\\\c=8,58cm\\\\Total\ displacement\ is\ equal\ to\ 8,58cm.$
