Answer:

 t = 1.51 hours

Explanation:

given,

Speed of space shuttle. v = 27800 Km/h

Radius of earth, R = 6380 Km

height of shuttle above earth, h = 320 Km

Total radius of the shuttle orbit

r' = R + h

r' = 6380 + 320

r' = 6700 Km

distance, d = 2 π r

   d = 2 π x 6700

time = \dfrac{distance}{speed}

time = \dfrac{2\pi\times 6700}{27800}

 t = 1.51 hours

Time require by the shuttle to circle the earth is equal to 1.51 hr.

Julian and Joshua each maintain a constant speed as they run laps around a 400-meter track. In the time it takes Julian to compl
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

the time Joshua travels 1 mile is 12.5 min

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the distance traveled on each lap,

Let's reduce everything to the SI system

    R = 400 m

    d = 1 mile (1609 m / 1 mile) = 1609 m

    L = 2 pi R

    L = 2 pi 400

    L = 2513 m

Let us form a rule of proportions if 2 turns of Julian is 3 turns Joshua, for 1 turn of Joshua how many turns Julian took

    lap Julian = 2/3 turn Joshua

Let's calculate what distance is the same for both of them since they are on the same track

    1 lap = 2513 m

    d. Julian = 2/3 2513 m

    d Julian = 1675 m distance Joshua

Let us form the last rule of three or proportions if 1609 m you travel in 12 min how long it takes to travel 1675 m

    t Julian = 1675/1609 12

    t = 12.5 s

Since this is the distance Joshua travels, this is the time Joshua travels 1 mile

What is the electric potential energy of an electron at the negative end of the cable, relative to the positive end of the cable
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Electric potential energy at the negative terminal: 1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J

Explanation:

When a particle with charge q travels across a potential difference \Delta V, then its change in electric potential energy is

\Delta U = q \Delta V

In this problem, we know that:

The particle is an electron, so its charge is

q=-1.60\cdot 10^{-19}C

We also know that the positive terminal is at potential

V_+=0V

While the negative terminal is at potential

V_-=-12 V

Therefore, the potential difference (final minus initial) is

\Delta V = -12-0 = -12 V

So, the change in potential energy of the electron is

\Delta U = (-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-12)=1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J

This means that the electron when it is at the negative terminal has 1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J of energy more than when it is at the positive terminal.

Since the potential at the positive terminal is 0, this means that the electric potential energy of the electron at the negative end is

1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J

As an object moves from point A to point B only two forces act onit: one force is nonconservative and does -30 J of work, the ot
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the principles of energy conservation. On the one hand we have that the work done by the non-conservative force is equivalent to -30J while the work done by the conservative force is 50J.

This leads to the direct conclusion that the resulting energy is 20J.

The conservative force is linked to the movement caused by the sum of the two energies, therefore there is an increase in kinetic energy. The decrease in the mechanical energy of the system is directly due to the loss given by the non-conservative force, therefore there is a decrease in mechanical energy.

Therefore the correct answer is A. Kintetic energy increases and mechanical energy decreases.

If the cart has potential energy of 5,000 J and kinetic energy of 2,750 J. How much mechanical energy does the cart have?
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: 7750 J

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is potential energy added to kinetic energy.

5000 + 2750 J = 7750 J
