Answer:

The speed of the satellite is 7809.52 m/s        

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of Earth, r=6.38\times 10^6\ m

Mass of earth, M=5.98\times 10^{24}\ kg

A satellite moves in a circular orbit a distance of, d=1.6\times 10^5\ m  above Earth's surface.

We need to find the speed of the satellite. It is given by :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}

R = r + d

R=(6.38\times 10^6\ m+1.6\times 10^5\ m)=6540000\ m

So, v=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\ kg}{6540000\ m}}

v = 7809.52 m/s

So, the speed of the satellite is 7809.52 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 920-kg sports car collides into the rear end of a 2300-kg SUV stopped at a red light. The bumpers lock, the brakes are locked,
GrogVix [38]

Answer:21.45 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of sport car=920 kg

Mass of SUV=2300 kg

distance to which both car skid is 2.4 m

coefficient of friction (\mu)=0.8

Let u be the initial velocity of both car at the starting of skidding

and they finally come to zero velocity

v^2-u^2=2as

acceleration=\mu g=0.8\times 9.8=7.84 m/s^2

s=2.4 m

0-(u)^2=2\times (-7.84)\times 2.4

u=6.13 m/s

so before colliding sport car must be travelling at a speed of

920\times v=(920+2300)\times 6.13  (conserving momentum)

v=21.45 m/s

Identify the physical mechanism that causes turbulent thermal conductivity.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Eddies due to enhanced mixing of fluid

Explanation:

Turbulent thermal conductivity is thermal conductivity that arises from the turbulent flow of fluids. It comes into play when a particukar fluid moves into turbulent regiom of flow where flow is no longer orderly and streamlines aren't discernable with the fluid layers all warping into one another forming vortices.

It is represented as K and is shown mathematically through the heat flux at turbulent flow

q = vCρT' = - K (∂T/∂y)

where

K = turbulent thermal conductivity

T' = the eddy temperature relative to the mean value,

C = Heat capacity the fluid

q = the rate of thermal energy transport by turbulent eddies.

The physical mechanism that cause turbulent thermal conductivity are similar to the causes of turbulent flow of fluids.

This includes sharp changes in fluid pressure and velocity of flow which is evident in eddies that come about in the enhanced mixing of fluids.

Hope this Helps!!!

A basketball is rolling with a velocity of 0.5 meters/second relative to the ground and due north. A tennis ball is rolling with
Lisa [10]
Since the basketball and the tennis ball both travel to the same direction relative to the ground, the velocity of the basketball relative to the tennis ball is therefore the difference of their velocities.
                                     0.5 m/s - 0.25 m/s = 0.25 m/s
Thus, the basketball travel for 0.25 m/s relative to the tennis ball.
