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.

The conservation of momentum states that the total momentum in a system is constant if there is no external force acting on the system. The total momentum in the gun bullet system is 0 so it must stay that way.

The momentum of the bullet is mv = 0.015*500=7.5
The momentum of the gun must be the same to keep the total momentum of the system equal to zero, so we know that p = 7.5 for the gun.
Substituting this in we get:

7.5=3.1x
x=7.5/3.1
x=2.42

So the speed of the gun is 2.4m/s.

Dear Amrish

I have come to know that since your school has closed for the Autumn Break you have plenty of free time at your disposal at the moment. I would like to tell you that even I am having holidays now.

It has been a long time since we have spent some time together. If you are free, I would welcome to have your company this weekend. Why don’t you come over to my house and spend a day or so with me?

I am anxiously waiting for your reply.

Yours affectionately

how many kilograms off mercury would fill a 5litre container if the density of mercury is 13.6grams per cm3
Sidana [21]

Answer:

68kg

Explanation:

1 cm^3 is the same as 1 mL and there are 5000mL in 5L

Therefore if the density is 13.6g/mL we multiply 13.6 by 5000 to get the amount of grams required = 68000g which is 68kg
