The distance between the orbits of two satellites is 7.97 m.

Explanation:

Johannes Kepler was the first to propose three laws for the planetary motion. According to him, the orbits in which planets are rotating are elliptical in nature and Sun is at the focus of the ellipse. Also the area of sweeping is same.

So based on these three assumptions, Kepler postulated three laws. One among them is Kepler's third law of planetary motion. According to the third law, the square of the time taken by a planet to cover a specified region is directly proportional to the cube of the major elliptical axis or the radius of the ellipse.

So, T^{2} = r^{3}

Thus, for the geosynchornous satellite, as the time taken is 24 hours, then the radius or the major axis of this satellite is

(24)^{2}= r^{3} \\(2*2*2*3)^{2} = r^{3}\\r = \sqrt[\frac{2}{3} ]{2*2*2*3} =(2)^{2} * (6)^{\frac{2}{3} } =13.21 m

Similarly, for the another satellite orbiting in time period of 12 hours, the major axis of this satellite is

(12)^{2}= r^{3} \\(2*2*3)^{2} = r^{3}\\r = \sqrt[\frac{2}{3} ]{12}  =5.24 m

So, the difference between the two radius will give the distance between the two orbits, 13.21-5.24 = 7.97 m.

So the distance between the orbits of two satellites is 7.97 m.

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters whiling away time by playing 'tug of war' between practice sessions. They hold on to opposite
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters, since both are on top of ice, we assume that friction is negligible.

We know that from Newton's Second Law;

Force = mass × Acceleration

F = ma

Since they hold on to opposite ends of the same rope. They have the same magnitude of force |F|, which is the same as the tension in the rope.

Now,

Mass_{Hank × Acceleration_{Hank = Mass_{Henry × Acceleration_{Henry

so

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = Acceleration_{Henry / Acceleration_{Hank

given that; magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration,

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 1 / 1.26

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Therefore, the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Rhythms that occur faster and slower than the beat are. Select one:. a. incorrect. b. not synchronized with the time signature.
zlopas [31]
Rhythms that occur faster and slower than the beat are b.<span>not synchronized with the time signature. The synchronization follows the same beat or rhythm. If the time signature say is lower than the original, then the rhythm should be faster. Otherwise, the rhythm is slower than the original one.</span>

Please help me to solve this and give me the summary of answer
Neko [114]
Using the principle of floatation.

u = w............(a)

Upthrust of fluid is equal to the weight of the object.

Let the volume of the wood be V.

The upthrust u, is related to the volume submerged in water, and that is 1/5 of it volume, that is (1/5)V = 0.2V

Formula for upthrust, u = vdg

where v = volume of fluid displaced
d = density of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity

weight, w = mg
where m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity

From (a)

                     u = w

                 vdg =  mg      Cancel out g

                   vd  =  m
 
The v  is equal to 0.2V, which is the submerged volume. Notice that the small letter v is volume of fluid displaced, and capital V is the volume of the solid.

d is density of fluid which is water in this case, 1000 kg/m³

         0.2V * 1000 =  m

           200V =  m

Hence the mass of the object is  200V  kg.

But Density of solid =  Mass of solid / Volume of solid

                                 =    200V / V

                                 =    200 kg/m³

Density of solid = 200 kg/m³

Identify the correct sequence for the formation and use of coal.
Zanzabum

The correct answer is - A. Plants store solar energy; the plants die; the plants are compressed; solar energy is released;

The plants use the solar energy for their functioning, thus they are one of the biggest natural storage of it. The plants also use the CO2 for the process of photosynthesis that is driven by the solar energy. When the plants die, the things inside them are stored in them, and if they are quickly covered they will remain stored and not get back into the atmosphere. The plants than are compressed, and over time that leads to a change in their composition. After millions of years had passed, the solar energy and CO2 had turned into coal. The coal is heavily used by the humans in the past few centuries, and with its burning the solar energy and the CO2 are released back into the atmosphere from which they came millions of years ago.
