Answer:

Speed of the satellite V = 6.991 × 10³ m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Force F = 3,000N

Mass of  satellite m = 500 kg

Mass of earth M = 5.97 × 10²⁴

Gravitational force G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹

Find:

Speed of the satellite.

Computation:

Radius r = √[GMm / F]

Radius r = √[(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ )(5.97 × 10²⁴)(500) / (3,000)

Radius r = 8.146 × 10⁶ m

Speed of the satellite V = √rF / m

Speed of the satellite V = √(8.146 × 10⁶)(3,000) / 500

Speed of the satellite V = 6.991 × 10³ m/s

Superman throws a 2400 n boulder at a villain. what horizontal force must superman apply to the boulder to give a horizontal acc
Ksenya-84 [330]
The boulder has a weight of W=2400 N. The weight of an object is the product between its mass m and the gravitational acceleration g:
W=mg
Rearranging the relationship, we can calculate the mass of the boulder:
m= \frac{W}{g}= \frac{2400 N}{9.81 m/s^2}=244.6 kg

We are told that Superman applies a horizontal force to this object, and as a result, the acceleration of the boulder is a=12.0 m/s^2. We can find the force applied by using Netwon's second law of motion:
F=ma=(244.6 kg)(12.0 m/s^2)=2935 N

A bird is flying with a speed of 18.0 m/s over water when it accidentally drops a 2.00 kg fish. If the altitude of the bird is 5
Alina [70]
Here we go.
My abbreviations; KE = Kinetic Energy; GPE = Gravitational Potential Energy.

So first off, we know the fish has KE right when the bird releases it. Why? Because it has horizontal velocity after released! So let’s calculate it:
KE = 1/2(m)(V)^2
KE = 1/2(2)(18)^2
KE = 324 J

Nice!
We also know that the fish has GPE at its maximum height before release:
GPE = mgh
GPE = (2)(9.81)(5.40)
GPE = 105.95 J

Now, based on the *queue dramatic voice* LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, we know all of the initial energy of the fish will be equal to the amount of final energy. And since the only form of energy when it hits the water is KE, we can write:
KEi + GPEi = KEf
(Remember - we found the initial energies before!)
(324) + (105.95) = KEf
KEf = 429.95J
And that’s you’re final answer! Notice how this value is MORE than the initial KE from before (324 J) - this is because all of the initial GPE from before was transformed into more KE as the fish fell (h decreased) and sped up (V increased).

If this helped please like it and comment!

Why is the surface salinity of the ocean higher in the subtropics than in equatorial regions?
larisa [96]
Evaporation is more contrasted with the rainfall which is less in the correlation of tropical locale. In tropical locale, protection is very little in light of mists. Alongside temperature, it is the main consideration in adding to changes in the thickness of seawater and consequently sea flow. Saltiness is the way to understanding the worldwide water cycle. 97% of the Earth's free water dwells in the seas. The water cycle is commanded by precipitation and evaporation.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The maximum pressure is 10 V from across condenser.The highest charge mostly on condenser. 
Vc  = 10 x 1mf

= 10 ^ - 5C

The time it takes for the condenser to be 5 V different.        
Thus we have, 0.69 x 10 ^ - 3 seconds.
