<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Complete Question:</u>

<em>The International Space Station is in a 230-mile-high orbit.</em>

<em>What is the station's orbital speed? The radius of Earth is 6.37×10⁶ m, its mass is 5.98×10²⁴ kg</em>

<u>Given:</u>

height of the station = h = 230 miles = 3.70 × 10⁵ m

mass of the earth = M = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

radius of the earth = R = 6.37 × 10⁶ m

<u>Unknown:</u>

Orbital Speed of the station = v = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We will use this following formula to find the orbital speed:</em>

$F = ma$

$G \frac{ Mm}{(R+h)^2}=m v^2 \div (R+h)$

$G \frac{ M}{R+h} = v^2$

$v = \sqrt{ G \frac{M}{R+h}}$

$v = \sqrt{ 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \frac{5.98 \times 10^{24}}{6.37 \times 10^6 + 3.70 \times 10^5}}$

$v = 7.69 \times 10^3 \texttt{ m/s}$

Answer:

$v_o=2503.08\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Orbital velocity is the speed that a body that orbits around another body must have, for its orbit to be stable. For orbits with small eccentricity and when one of the masses is almost negligible compared to the other mass, like in this case, the orbital speed is given by:

$v_o=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

Where M is the greater mass around which this negligible body is orbiting, r is the radius of the greater mass and G is the universal gravitational constant. So:

$v_o=\sqrt{\frac{6.674*10^{-11}\frac{m^3}{kg\cdot s^2}(5.98*10^{24}kg)}{6.37*10^6m}}\\v_o=2503.08\frac{m}{s}$

a bal is launched upward with a velocity of v0 from the edge of a cliff of height D. it reaches a maximum height of H above its

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

D/H =15

Explanation:

We can find first the peak height H, taking into consideration, that at the maximum height, the ball will reach momentarily to a stop.
At this point, we can find the value of H, applying the following kinematic equation:

$v_{f} ^{2} -v_{0} ^{2} = 2* g* H (1)$

If vf=0, if we assume that the positive direction is upwards, we can find the value of H as follows:

$H = \frac{v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g} (2)$

We can use the same equation, to find the value of D, as follows:

$v_{f} ^{2} -v_{1} ^{2} = 2* g* D (3)$

In order to find v₁, we can use the same kinematic equation that we used to get H, but now, we know that v₀ = 0.
When we replace these values in (1), we find that v₁ = -v₀.
Replacing in (3), we have:

$(4*v_{0})^{2} - (-v_{0}) ^{2} = 2* g* D\\ \\ 15*v_{0}^{2} = 2*g*D$

Solving for D:

$D = \frac{15*v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g}$

From (2) we know that H can be expressed as follows:

$H = \frac{v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g}$

⇒ D = 15 * H

$\frac{D}{H} = 15$

Consider two ideal gases, A & B, at the same temperature. The rms speed of the molecules of gas A is twice that of gas B. Ho

uysha [10]

Answer:

option (d)

Explanation:

The relation between the rms velocity and the molecular mass is given by

v proportional to \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}} keeping the temperature constant

So for two gases

$\frac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}}$

$\frac{2v_{B}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}}$

${\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}} = 4$

${\frac{M_{B}}{4}} = M_{A}$

When sound is created it travels to the car through a

Rasek [7]

A sound wave is a longitudinal wave caused by vibrations and carried through a substance. The particles of the substance, such as air particles, vibrate back and forth along the path that the sound waves travel. Sound is transmitted through the vibrations and collisions of the particles.

A hockey stick of mass ms and length L is at rest on the ice (which is assumed to be frictionless). A puck with mass mp hits the

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

L = mp*v₀*(ms*D) / (ms + mp)

Explanation:

Given info

ms = mass of the hockey stick

uis = 0 (initial speed of the hockey stick before the collision)

xis = D (initial position of center of mass of the hockey stick before the collision)

mp = mass of the puck

uip = v₀ (initial speed of the puck before the collision)

xip = 0 (initial position of center of mass of the puck before the collision)

If we apply

Ycm = (ms*xis + mp*xip) / (ms + mp)

⇒ Ycm = (ms*D + mp*0) / (ms + mp)

⇒ Ycm = (ms*D) / (ms + mp)

Now, we can apply the equation

L = m*v*R

where m = mp

v = v₀

R = Ycm

then we have

L = mp*v₀*(ms*D) / (ms + mp)

1. How would you expect an instantaneous acceleration vs. time graph to look for a cart moving with a constant

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

a=0 v = v₀ + a t

a=0 line is horizontal

Explanation:

1, In a graph of acceleration vs. time, we have lines, when the line is horizontal it is zero, when the line has a positive slope the increasing accelerations and when the slope is negative the decreasing acceleration

2, speed and relationship of a car is given by

v = v₀ + a t

where vo is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and tel time

in this case I will calcograph velocity vs. time the constant acceleration is a straight line.

In general from the graph we can find the initial velocity with the cut at that x and the acceleration of the car with the slope
