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.

artcher [175]

Answer:

v = 10.75\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The system ball-pin is modelled by the Principle of Moment Conservation:

(9\,kg)\cdot (15\,\frac{m}{s} ) + (0.85\,kg)\cdot (0\frac{m}{s} ) = (9\,kg)\cdot v + (0.85\,kg)\cdot (45\,\frac{m}{s} )

The velocity of the bowling ball after the collision is:

v = 10.75\,\frac{m}{s}

What best describes the speed of light waves in solids, liquids, and gases?
hammer [34]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Generally, the speed of light slows down when passing through a medium that is not a vacuum. This is not always the case, but I will be ignoring the rare/exotic exceptions. Light has a harder time traveling through solids and liquids than it does with gases.

Why is cloning done before an investigation begins??
svlad2 [7]

Answer:Purpose of Cloning

A forensic image of a hard drive captures everything on the hard drive, from the physical beginning to the physical end. ... Hard drives are susceptible to failure. Having two clones gives an investigator one to examine and one to fall back on.Therapeutic cloning involves creating a cloned embryo for the sole purpose of producing embryonic stem cells with the same DNA as the donor cell. These stem cells can be used in experiments aimed at understanding disease and developing new treatments for disease.

An electric furnace runs 13 hours a day to heat a house during January (31 days). The heating element has a resistance of 7.2 an
liq [111]

Answer:

cost of running the furnace during January is $5619.62

Explanation:

given data

runs a day = 13 hours

January days = 31 days

resistance = 7.2 ohm

current = 16.7 A

cost of electricity = $0.10/kWh

to find out

cost of running the furnace during January

solution

first we get her power consumed by furnace that is

Power consumed = \frac{I^2}{R}  ........1

put here value we get

Power consumed = \frac{16.7^2}{7.2}

Power consumed = 38.7347 W

and

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is = Power consumed × 3600

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is = 38.7347 × 3600  

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is 139.445kWh

and

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January is

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January = 139.445kWh × 13 hours × 31 days

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January = 56196.335 kWh

so

cost of running the furnace during January is = $0.10/kWh × 56196.335 kWh

cost of running the furnace during January is $5619.62
