Explanation : We know that two forces acting on the satellite.

The speed of the satellite and the force of the gravity on the satellite then the result , the satellite moves around the earth in a circular motion.

A satellite to move tangentially to a circular path, while revolving around the circular path because the centripetal force is acting on it.

So, we can say gravity is responsible for the motion of the satellite in a circular path.

Answer: tangential velocity


The tangential velocity is the velocity the body presents at a given moment of time when describing a circular movement, taking into account its direction, as well as the radius by which it is traveling in a particular fraction of its trajectory.

To calculate tangential velocity, it is possible to take the <u>angular velocity</u> as a reference, nevertheless it is necessary to understand that it can be <u>constant</u>, while the tangential velocity can vary at each step, given the alterations of the path.

This is possible because movement of a satellite around the planet Earth is a good example of uniform circular motion, which is characterized by the movement of a body describing a circumference of a given radius with constant speed.

Therefore in this movement the velocity has a constant magnitude, but its direction varies continuously.

Tyson Gay's best time to run 100.0 meters was 9.69 seconds. What was his average speed during this run, in miles per hour? (3.28
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

23.086 mile/h

Explanation:

Given,

Distance Tyson Gay run = 100 m

time of run, t = 9.69 s

average speed of the in mph = ?

Speed of the Gay = \dfrac{distance}{time}

v = \dfrac{100}{9.69}

     v = 10.32 m/s

1 m = 3.281 ft

10.32 m = 33.86 ft

1 mile = 5280 ft

1 ft = 1.8939 x 10⁻⁴ mile

33.86 ft/s = 6.413 x 10⁻³ miles/s

Speed of Tyson in mile/hr = 6.413 x 10⁻³ x 3600

                                           = 23.086 mile/h

Hence, speed of Tyson Gay's in mile/ hr is equal to 23.086 mph.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

Conductivity probe

Explanation:

The Conductivity Probe consists of two electrodes(also referred to as probes)or an electrode and a wall vessel where the material in the vessel completes the circuit as the level rises in the vessel.

It is used in measuring solution conductivity or total ionic concentration of aqueous samples.

If ?h°rxn and ?s°rxn are both negative values, what drives the spontaneous reaction and in what direction at standard conditions
irakobra [83]

The release of free energy drives the spontaneous reaction.

Spontaneity can be <span>determined using the change in </span>Gibbs free energy (the thermodynamic potencial):

delta G=delta H – T*delta S

where delta H is the enthalpy and delta S is the entropy.

The direction (the sign) of delta G depends of the changes of enthalpy and entropy. If delta G is negative then the process is spontaneous.

In our case, both delta H and delta S are negative values, the process as said is spontaneous which means that it may proceed in the forward direction.

A helium atom (mass 4.0 u) moving at 598 m/s to the right collides with an oxygen molecule (mass 32 u) moving in the same direct
labwork [276]

Answer:

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of helium ,m₁ = 4 u

u₁=598 m/s

Mass of oxygen ,m₂ = 32 u

u₂  = 401 m/s

v₂ =445 m/s

Given that initially both are moving in the same direction and lets take they are moving in the right direction.

Speed of the helium after collision = v₁

There is no any external force on the masses that is why the linear momentum will be conserve.

Initial linear momentum = Final linear momentum

P = m v

m₁u₁+m₂u₂ = m₁v₁+m₂v₂

598 x 4 + 32 x 401 = 4 x v₁+ 32 x 445

v₁ = 246 m/s

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

Question 3 of 15
omeli [17]

Answer:

B) Degrees

Explanation:

The directions of the vectors are often defined in terms of due East, due North, due West and due South. A direction exactly in between of North and East can be described as Northeast, similarly we can describe directions in terms of Northwest, Southeast and South west.

From these, the direction of a vector can be easily expressed in degrees, which is measured counter clockwise about its tail from due East. Considering that we can say that East is at 0° , North is at 90° , West is at 180 and South is at 270° counter clockwise rotation from due East.

So, we know that the direction of a vector lying somewhere between due East i.e 0° and due North i.e 90°, will be measured in degrees, which will have a value between 0°-90°
