Answer:

7500 m/s

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration = gravity

v² / r = GM / r²

v = √(GM / r)

Given:

G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²

M = 5.98×10²⁴ kg

r = 6.8×10⁵ + 6.357×10⁶ = 7.037×10⁶ m

v = √(6.67×10⁻¹¹ (5.98×10²⁴) / (7.037×10⁶))

v = 7500

The orbital velocity is 7500 m/s.

An artificial satellite is in a circular orbit around a planet of radius r= 2.05 x103 km at a distance d 310.0 km from the plane
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

\rho = 12580.7 kg/m^3

Explanation:

As we know that the satellite revolves around the planet then the centripetal force for the satellite is due to gravitational attraction force of the planet

So here we will have

F = \frac{GMm}{(r + h)^2}

here we have

F =\frac {mv^2}{(r+ h)}

\frac{mv^2}{r + h} = \frac{GMm}{(r + h)^2}

here we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{(r + h)}}

now we can find time period as

T = \frac{2\pi (r + h)}{v}

T = \frac{2\pi (2.05 \times 10^6 + 310 \times 10^3)}{\sqrt{\frac{GM}{(r + h)}}}

1.15 \times 3600 = \frac{2\pi (2.05 \times 10^6 + 310 \times 10^3)}{\sqrt{\frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(M)}{(2.05 \times 10^6 + 310 \times 10^3)}}}

M = 4.54 \times 10^{23} kg

Now the density is given as

\rho = \frac{M}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3}

\rho = \frac{4.54 \times 10^{23}}{\frac{4}[3}\pi(2.05 \times 10^6)^3}

\rho = 12580.7 kg/m^3

Help me please Which of the following statements best describes the atoms and molecules that make up a glass
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The atoms and molecules of the liquid water are moving, while the atoms and molecules of the glass are not moving

Explanation:

Matter that exist in the liquid or gaseous state consist of molecules that move freely about in the entire containing medium for gas, while the molecules move freely  in the portion of the container occupied by the fluid in the case of liquid fluids

However, the molecules of a solid are fixed within the current shape of the solid and are only free to vibrate within a fixed location and the allow the passage of subatomic particles such as electrons

As such, the glass cup being a solid, consists of molecules fixed in space, while the liquid water consists of molecules which can translate within the portion of the volume of the glass filled with the water.

Compare the momentum of a 6,300-kg elephant walking 0.11 m/s and a 50-kg dolphin swimming 10.4 m/s. your answer
bogdanovich [222]
<span>First sum applied the Newton's second law motion: F = ma Force = mass* acceleration This motion define force as the product of mass times Acceleration (vs.Velocity). Since acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time, force=(mass*velocity)/time such that, (mass*velocity)/time=momentum/time Therefore we get mass*velocity=momentum Momentum=mass*velocity Elephant mass=6300 kg; velocity=0.11 m/s Momentum=6300*0.11 P=693 kg (m/s) Dolphin mass=50 kg; velocity=10.4 m/s Momentum=50*10.4 P=520 kg (m/s) The elephant has more momentum(P) because it is large.</span>
