The answer should be 0.42 s
First half:
50 km at 50 km/hr ... 1 hour
Second half:
50 km at 100 km/hr ... 1/2 hour
Total distance = 100 km
Total time = 1.5 hours
Average speed = (100 km) / (1.5 hrs)
Average speed = 66 and 2/3 km/hr
Average velocity = 66 and 2/3 km/hr East
Answer:
Photosynthesis
Light energy from the sun stimulates photosynthesis by green plants. One major component of the carbon cycle is the reduction of the carbon (IV) oxide content in the atmosphere by plants. Plants take in Carbon (IV) oxide to use during the process of making their own food. During this process light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and is used to convert carbon (IV) oxide and water to glucose.
This glucose is used during respiration by living organisms that give out carbon (IV) oxide. The cycle continues.
The correct answer is:
the distance of the orbiting object to Earth.
In fact, we know that the gravitational force that keeps the object in circular motion around the Earth is equal to the centripetal force, so we can write:
If we re-arrange the equation, we find an expression for the tangential speed of the object:
and we see that it depends on 3 quantities: G, M (the mass of the Earth) and r (the distance of the object from the Earth).
