Answer:

Explanation:

When a lightning bolt travels from the cloud to the ground it actually opens up a little hole in the air, called a channel. Once then light is gone the air collapses back in and creates a sound wave that we hear as thunder. The reason we see lightning before we hear thunder is because light travels faster than sound!

Radioactive isotopes can be used to find the age of rocks, fossils, or other artifacts. Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

1/8 = (1/2)^3

This implies the sample has decayed for 3 half lives

3 * 5730 yrs = 17,200 years

Calculate the orbital speed (in m/s) of a satellite that circles the Earth with a time period of 12.00 hours. The mass of the Ea

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

$v = 3869 m/s$

Explanation:

As we know that the orbital speed of the satellite is given as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

also we know that

time period of the revolution is given as

$T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}$

now from above equation we know that

$T = \frac{2\pi (\frac{GM}{v^2})}{v}$

$T = \frac{2\pi GM}{v^3}$

so we will have

$v = (\frac{2\pi GM}{T})^{1/3}$

now plug in all data in this equation

$v = (\frac{2\pi (6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.97 \times 10^{24})}{12 \times 3600})^{1/3}$

$v = 3869 m/s$
