Calculate the velocity of a 1650kg satellite that is in a circular orbit of 4.2 x 10^6m above the surface of a planet which has

a radius 3.95 x 10^5 m and the period of the orbit is 2.0 hours.

-- We're going to be talking about the satellite's speed. 
"Velocity" would include its direction at any instant, and
in a circular orbit, that's constantly changing.

-- The mass of the satellite makes no difference.

Since the planet's radius is  3.95 x 10⁵m  and the satellite is
orbiting  4.2 x 10⁶m  above the surface, the radius of the
orbital path itself is

                               (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (4.2 x 10⁶m)

                     =        (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (42 x 10⁵m)

                     =           45.95 x 10⁵ m

The circumference of the orbit is  (2 π R) =  91.9 π x 10⁵ m.

The bird completes a revolution every 2.0 hours,
so its speed in orbit is

                                     (91.9 π x 10⁵ m) / 2 hr

                        =        45.95 π x 10⁵  m/hr  x  (1 hr / 3,600 sec)

                        =           0.04 x 10⁵      m/sec

                        =              4 x 10³      m/sec  

                                     (4 kilometers per second)

Who needs to know physics when they are making a satellite
vladimir2022 [97]
First satellite was Sputnik and it was a race then to send satellites!! Everyone starts experimenting how to launch.

first try was on a dog , Laika !! It was send to space as it is long after sputnik is placed in orbit !!

Now you know everyone knows rocket science and the most active are ISRO (India) and NASA (USA) !!

A sinusoidal wave has the following wave function: y(x,t) = (2.5 m) sin((3.0 m ) x - (24 s-')t + Tt/2] What is the frequency of
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Frequency of the wave is 3.8 hertz.

Explanation:

It is given that, the sinusoidal wave has following wave equation as :

y(x,t)=(2.5\ m)sin[(3\ m^{-1})x-(24\ s^{-1})t+\pi/2]

The general equation for the sinusoidal wave is :

y=A\ sin(kx-\omega t+\phi)

Where

A is the amplitude

k is the constant

\omega is the angular frequency

\phi is the phase difference

Since, \omega=24\ s^{-1}

2\pi f=24

f=\dfrac{24}{2\pi}=3.81\ Hz

or

f = 3.8 Hz

So, the frequency of the wave is 3.8 hertz. Hence, this is the required solution.

the train accelerates from 30 km/h to 45 km/h in 15 secs. a. find its acceleration. b. distance it travels during this time ...
Sonbull [250]
Acceleration = v-u/t
= (45-30)/15
= 1 km/h


Distance = ut + 1/2 at^2
s = [30 x 15]  + 1/2 x 1 x 15^2 
= 562.5 km

Hope this helps

What happens to the boiling point of water as you climb higher up a mountain?
Maksim231197 [3]
The higher the pressure, the higher boiling point of water. At lower the pressure, the boiling point of water comes down. So, the lower pressure inreases the boiling resulting more evaporation. As we go higher in altitude, the atmospheric pressure decreases. This results in decreasing the boiling point at higher altitude and increase in boiling of water. In fact, at the sea level ,the the sea water boils at 100 degree C where atmospheric pressre is normal. However , the boiling takes place at a lower temperature at the top of a mountain due to low pressure. In other words the boling is faster at the top of a mountain than that at its foot.

Will convection always work faster and more efficiently than conduction?
Stells [14]

Answer:

Yes convection will always work faster and more efficiently.

Explanation:

When a gas or a liquid is heated, hot areas of the material flow and mix with the cool areas. ... Convection transfers heat over a distance faster than conduction. But ultimately conduction must transfer the heat from the gas to the other object, though molecular contact.
