Answer:

a) the frequency of the wave is 0.2 Hz

b) the speed of the wave 4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

time period = to complete one cycle t = 5 sec

frequency f = 1/t

frequency f = 1 / 5sec

f = 0.2 Hz

Therefore the frequency of the wave is 0.2 Hz

b)

speed of wave V = λf

given that our wavelength is 20.0 m

we substitute

speed of wave V = 20.0 × 0.2

speed of wave V = 4 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the wave 4 m/s

A satellite, moving in an elliptical orbit, is 368 km above Earth's surface at its farthest point and 164 km above at its closes
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

a) 6636 km

b) 0.0154

Explanation:

The height above the earth at its furthest point is 368 km

The height above the earth at its closest point is 164 km

Radius of the Earth is 6370 km

The distance of the satellite from the center of the earth to the furthest point is 6370 + 368 km = 6738 km

The distance of the satellite from the center of the earth to the closest point is 6370 + 164 = 6534 km

If we add together the sum of the distance of the satellite from the furthest and its closest distance, it is equal to the 2 major semi axis.

Basically,

2a = R + r

a = (R + r) / 2

a = (6738 + 6534) / 2

a = 13272 / 2

a = 6636 km

Eccentricity, e = (a - r) / a

Eccentricity, e = (6636 - 6534) / 6636

Eccentricity, e = 102 / 6636

Eccentricity, e = 0.0154
