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.

What do scientists theorize about the origins of the Moon? Choose the most accepted explanation.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

What is most widely accepted today is a the giant-impact theory. It proposes that the Moon formed during a collision between the Earth and another small planet, about the size of Mars. The debris from this impact collected in an orbit around Earth to form the Moon.

A student drops a ball from the top of a tall building; it takes 2.9 s for the ball to reach the ground.
AlexFokin [52]

<h2><u>We have</u>,</h2>

  • Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
  • Time taken (t) = 2.9s
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = + 10 m/s² [Down]

<h2><u>To calculate</u>,</h2>

  • Final velocity (v)
  • Height (h)

<h2><u>Solution</u><u>,</u></h2>

→ v = u + gt

→ v = 0 + 10(2.9)

→ v = 29 m/s \qquad … ( Ans )

And,

→ h = ut + ½gt²

→ h = 0(2.9) + ½ × 10 × (2.9)²

→ h = 5 × 8.41

→ h = 42.05 m \qquad … ( Ans )

A roller coaster at the Six Flags Great America amusement park in Gurnee, Illinois, incorporates some clever design technology a
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

5.95 m

Explanation:

Given that the biggest loop is 40.0 m high. Suppose the speed at the top is 10.8 m/s and the corresponding centripetal acceleration is 2g

For the car to stick to the loop without falling down, at the top of the ride, the centripetal force must be equal to the weight of the car. That is,

(MV^2) / r = mg

V^2/ r = centripetal acceleration which is equal to 2g

2 × 9.8 = 10.8^2 / r

r = 116.64 /19.6

r = 5.95 m
