Sound waves are not able to travel in a vacuum, sound requires a medium such as air or a solid for example.  Satellites are indeed in space, but radio waves are not sound waves they are a form of light.  Light can travel in a vacuum so the messages that satellites beam back to Earth are light waves not sound waves, that is why it is possible.

Here C =constant of integration.   

x

now we have the relation to find the position and time for the jogger as:

Here

x  is measured in miles and  t  in hours.

(a) To find the distance the jogger has run in 1 hr, we set t=1 in equation (2),    

     to get:

(b) To find the jogger's acceleration in   m

differentiate  

     equation (1) with respect to time.

     we have to eliminate x from the equation (1) using equation (2).  

     Eliminating x we get:

     Now differentiating above equation w.r.t time we get:

A balloon with a charge of 6.0 μC is held a distance of 0.80 m from a second balloon having the same charge. Calculate the magni
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:0.506 N

Explanation:

Given

Charge on first balloon q_1=6\ \mu C

Charge on second balloon is q_2=6\ \mu C

Distance between them r=0.8\ m

Electrostatic Repulsive force is given by

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

Where K is constant

F=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 6\times 10^{-6}\times 6\times 10^{-6}}{(0.8)^2}

F=\dfrac{324\times 10^{-3}}{0.64}

F=0.506\ N
