Distance is 50 km
Displacement is 10 km
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Distance toward south, x = 25 km
Distance towards west, y = 10 km
Distance towards north, z = 15 km
(a) Total distance, D = ?
Total distance, D = x + y + z
D = 25 + 10 + 15
D = 50km
(b) Displacement, d = ?
Displacement = final position - initial position
= 10 - 0 km
= 10km
Let R be radius of Earth with the amount of 6378 km h = height of satellite above Earth m = mass of satellite v = tangential velocity of satellite
Since gravitational force varies contrariwise with the square of the distance of separation, the value of g at altitude h will be 9.8*{[R/(R+h)]^2} = g'
So now gravity acceleration is g' and gravity is balanced by centripetal force mv^2/(R+h):
m*v^2/(R+h) = m*g' v = sqrt[g'*(R + h)]
Satellite A: h = 542 km so R+h = 6738 km = 6.920 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/6920)^2 = 8.32 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*6.920e6) = 7587.79 m/s = 7.59 km/sec
Satellite B: h = 838 km so R+h = 7216 km = 7.216 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/7216)^2 = 8.66 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*7.216e6) = 7748.36 m/s = 7.79 km/sec
A peak = A Rms x Sq root 2
Therefore 3.6 x sq root of 2
A peak = 5.09

As per as my knowledge
The speed of a wave in a medium is affected by <u>d</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>s</u><u>i</u><u>t</u><u>y</u>,<u> </u><u>w</u><u>a</u><u>v</u><u>e</u><u>l</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>g</u><u>t</u><u>h</u> and <u>t</u><u>e</u><u>m</u><u>p</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>a</u><u>t</u><u>u</u><u>r</u><u>e</u><u> </u>:)
(Good luck on your test and mark me brainliest if this helps)
