how long would it take for a radio wave sent from a space satellite circling mars to reach Earth? Assume that radio waves (a for

m of electromagnetic radiation) travel at the speed of light?

Answer:

3 Minutes 2 seconds to 22 minutes 16 seconds

Explanation:

Lets assume the Mars to be at the closest distance to Earth. This distance (D) = 54.6 Million km

The signal travels at the speed of light, so speed of the signal (V) = 300000 km/s

So, the time (T) taken by the radio wave to reach Earth from Mars will be,

T = \frac{D}{V}

T = \frac{54600000}{300000}

Thus, T = 182 Sec = 3 Minutes 2 seconds.

The radio wave will take minimum 03 Minutes 02 seconds to reach Earth. Here is should be noted that the distance between the two planets keep on changing as they revolve around the Sun. There will come a point when Mars is farthest from Earth and the distance (D) will be 401 Million km. Then, the time will change to ,

T = \frac{401000000}{300000}

T = 1336.67 sec = 22.27 Minutes.

So the maximum time will be 22 minutes 16 seconds.

xeze [42]

Explanation:

PRIMERO HACES EL RECUENTO DEL TIEMPO Y LO CONVIERTES EN

SEGUNDOS Y ENTONCES

<em>t</em> = 227 s      t_{AB} = 227 S - 38 s = 189 s

t_{BC} = 38 s

LUEGO USANDO LA ECUACIÓN DE GALILEO GALILEI SSUPONIENDO

QUE EL MOVIL VIAJA A VELOCIDAD CONSTANTE

<em>v</em> = 3.50 m/189 s = 0.0185 m/s

PARA LA DISTANCIA NTRE B Y C

x_{BC} = 0.0185 m/S( 38 s) = 0.703 m

LA HORA EN QUE EL MOVIL PASA POR A ES

11:43:15 - 38 s - 189 s = 11:39:29

Consider a satellite in a circular orbit around the earth. Why is it important to give a satellite a horizontal speed when placi
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

In this case, the horizontal velocity of the rocket starts from the acceleration, so if its velocity drops to zero,

Explanation:

When a satellite is in orbit the most important force is the docking of gravity with the Earth

             F = m a

where the acceleration is centripetal and F is the force of universal attraction

centripetal acceleration is

             a = v² / r

             

             F = m v² / r

In this case, the horizontal velocity of the rocket starts from the acceleration, so if its velocity drops to zero, the force also drops to serious and the satellite steels to Earth.

The speed of the satellite is provides the speed, by local for smaller speeds in satellite, it descends in its orbits and when the speed is amate you have the energy to stop an orb to go to a higher orbit.

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. The athlete is able to rotate the ball at the
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

a) 2nd case rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball

b) 1534.98 m/s^2

c) 1515.04 m/s^2

Explanation:

(a) v = ωR

when R = 0.60, ω = 8.05×2π

v = 0.60×8.05×2π = 30.34 m/s

Now in 2nd case

when R = 0.90, ω = 6.53×2π

v = 0.90×6.53×2π = 36.92 m/s

6.35 rev/s gives greater speed for the ball.

(b) a = ω^2 R = (8.05×2π)^2 )(0.60) = 1534.98 m/s^2

(c) a = ω^2 R = (6.53×2π)^2 )(0.90) = 1515.05 m/s^2

In what direction does centripetal force act on an object that is traveling in a circular path?
Setler [38]

According to Newton's first law of motion, it is the natural tendency of all moving objects to continue in motion in the same direction that they are moving ... unless some form of unbalanced force acts upon the object to deviate its motion from its straight-line path.

Hope this helped, have a great day!
