Consider a spacecraft in an elliptical orbit around the earth. At the low point, or perigee, of its orbit, it is 500 above the e

arth's surface; at the high point, or apogee, it is 4000 above the earth's surface.. . Using conservation of angular momentum, find the ratio of the spacecraft's speed at perigee to its speed at apogee.. .

<span>We know that semimajor axis is a = (1/2)[(Re + hp)+(Re +ha)]
                                                  = 9.13*106 m
 Re = radius of earth= 6380 km = 6380000 m
 hp = height of perigee = 500 km = 500000 m
ha = height of apogee = 5000 km = 5000000 m
 M = mass of the earth = 5.98*1024 kg
 G = 6.67*10-11 Nm2/kg2
we know that time period of revolution of the spacecraft is
T= 2πa3/2/√GM
 Then T = 2π*(9.13*106 )3/2/√6.67*10-11 *5.98*1024 = 8.67*103 sec

</span><span> mvprp =mvara
 vp = spacecraft's speed at perigee
va=spacecraft's speed at apogee

Then vp /va =ra/rp = (Re+ha)/(Re +hp) = 6380+5000/6380+500
 =1.654 </span><span>

Which one of the following types of training involves 10 to 30 minutes of high-intensity exercise?
Goshia [24]

Correct answer choice is:



C. Medium range



Explanation:



Medium range exercises are used to gain extra strength and fitness. Usually, heavyweights are used with less number of repetitions. These sort of exercises are mostly the hardest t do. All you need is to have a high level of motivation and stamina, which can be gained by running or cycling.

Explain how energy balance sets planetary temperature? Imagine a planet colder than expected for energy balance and explain why
RUDIKE [14]

The planetary temperature energy balance is obtained by radiating back the absorbed radiation energy from outer-space, by the planet and thus acquiring thermal equilibrium.

What is the process of attaining thermal equilibrium by Earth?

The Stefan-Boltzmann law states that the more the temperature a planet has, the more it will radiate out to reach thermal equilibrium.

We know that outer space contains large masses of radiative energy freely distributed in its vast expanse. A small fraction of this energy is absorbed by the Earth through the atmosphere, surface land, clouds etc.

Now, radiative balance is achieved when a planet's surface continuously warms up until it reaches its peak at which point the same amount of absorbed energy can then be radiated back to space. The relative amount of energy radiated back by a planet is dependent upon the size of the planet.

A colder planet relatively absorbs lower amount of radiation energy from space. In some time, as the planet heats up enough, the energy is radiated back to the space attaining thermal equilibrium.

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The amount of carbon dioxide is little in deionized water.

Explanation:

Deionized water is a water with little or no impurities. Impurities are in waters are not able to boil below or above the boiling point of water,and in this case are been retained in the original container.
