Hello!
Recall the period of an orbit is how long it takes the satellite to make a complete orbit around the earth. Essentially, this is the same as 'time' in the distance = speed * time equation. For an orbit, we can define these quantities:
← The circumference of the orbit
speed = orbital speed, we will solve for this later
time = period
Therefore:
Where 'r' is the orbital radius of the satellite.
First, let's solve for 'v' assuming a uniform orbit using the equation:
G = Gravitational Constant (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)
m = mass of the earth (5.98 × 10²⁴ kg)
r = radius of orbit (1.276 × 10⁷ m)
Plug in the givens:
Now, we can solve for the period:
Answer:
When the velocity doesn't change its direction
Explanation:
Since velocity vector has 2 components: direction and magnitude, and speed is the velocity's magnitude. So if the velocity doesn't change its direction, we essentially use its magnitude, aka speed, to calculate the rate of change for acceleration.
Answer:
a. True - Joules is the unit measure for energy.
b. False - Potential energy is associated with position
c. False - Kinetic energy is associated with movement.
d. False - It's climbing, which means it also has kinetic energy.
The line that should be secured first in pushing the boat
away from the dock in preparation to dock is the bow line. When the bow line is
secured, it is best to reverse it and turn to the dock, this will engage the
line to tighten in a way that will help it swing back in the dock.
8.8 miles. You divide 22.4 & 2.55.
