A reference point would be something not on the ship which could be used to calculate distance traveled.
Answer: C.) A lighthouse on a nearby Island
Answer:

Explanation:
Given:
- mass of water,

- initial temperature of water,

- final temperature of water,

- specific heat of water,

<u>Now the amount of heat energy required:</u>



Since all of the mechanical energy is being converted into heat, therefore the same amount of mechanical energy is required.
Answers:
a) 
b) 
Explanation:
a) Since we are told the satellites circle the space station at constant speed, we can assume they follow a uniform circular motion and their tangential speeds
are given by:
(1)
Where:
is the angular frequency
is the radius of the orbit of each satellite
is the period of the orbit of each satellite
Isolating
:
(2)
Applying this equation to each satellite:
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
(7)
(8)
Ordering this periods from largest to smallest:

b) Acceleration
is defined as the variation of velocity in time:
(9)
Applying this equation to each satellite:
(10)
(11)
(12)
(13)
(14)
(15)
Ordering this acceerations from largest to smallest:

The magnitude<span> of a </span>velocity<span> vector is </span>called<span> speed. Supposethat a wind is blowing in from the direction at a speed of 50 km/h. (This meansthat the direction from which the wind blows is west of the northerly direction.) Apilot is steering a plane in the direction at an airspeed (speed in still air) of250 km/h
