Answer:

42400 km

Explanation:

The time taken by a satellite to complete one revolution around the earth is called the time period of the satellite.

The time period for the satellite is given by

T = \frac{2\pi }{R}\times \sqrt{\frac{(R+h)^{3}}{g}}

where, R be the radius of earth, h be the height of satellite from earth's surface and g be the acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute, 86400 s for T, 6400000 m for R and 9.8 m/s^2 for g , we get

86400 = \frac{2\pi }{6400000}\times \sqrt{\frac{(6400000+h)^{3}}{9.8}}

h = 35954355.13 m

h = 36 x 10^3 km

Distance from the centre of earth is R + h = 6400 km + 36000 km = 42400 km .

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Two objects will have the equal velocities but the forces on both of them will not be equal. The equal velocities of these objects are due to their equal acceleration.

Explanation:

From the newton's equation

v^{2} -u^{2} = 2as

so here we can say that velocity does not depends on the mass.

The acceleration of both objects will be same but not the forces because

F = Ma

As the force is depending on the mass so it will not be the same for both objects.

7. A stick of length L and mass M is hanging at rest from its top edge from a ceiling hinged at that point so that it is free to
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The distance from the top of the stick would be 2l/3

Explanation:

Let the impulse 'FΔt' acts as a distance 'x' from the hinge 'H'. Assume no impulsive reaction is generated at 'H'. Let the angular velocity of the rod about 'H' just after the applied impulse be 'W'. Also consider that the center of percussion is the point on a bean attached to a pivot where a perpendicular impact will produce no reactive shock at the pivot.

Applying impulse momentum theorem for linear momentum.

FΔt = m(Wl/2), since velocity of center of mass of rod  = Wl/2

Similarly applying impulse momentum theorem per angular momentum about H

FΔt * x = I * W

Where FΔt * x represents the impulsive torque and I is the moment of inertia

F Δt.x = (ml² . W)/3

Substituting FΔt

M(Wl/2) * x = (ml². W)/3

1/x = 3/2l

x = 2l/3

Agata [3.3K]
Electrons are important to the electric current because they are able to move from one atom to another. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged.

PLZ ANSWER ASAP!!!!!!!
jenyasd209 [6]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of platinum bar, m = 750 g

Length of the bar, l = 5 cm

Breadth of the bar, b = 4 cm

Width of the bar, h = 1.5 cm

Volume of the bar, V=l\times b\times h

V=5\times 4\times 1.5=30\ cm^3

We need to find the density of the platinum bar. The density of any substance is given by :

d=\dfrac{m}{V}

d=\dfrac{750\ g}{30\ cm^3}

d=25\ g/cm^3

So, the density of the platinum bar 25\ g/cm^3. Hence, this is the required solution.
