A satellite in a 100-mile-high circular orbit around Earth has a velocity of approximately 17,500 miles per hour.If this velocit

y is multiplied by √2 the satellite will have the minimum velocity necessary to escape Earth's gravity and will follow a parabolic path with the center of Earth as the focus.
Required:
Find the distance between the surface of the Earth and the satellite when θ = 50°.

a. Distance between surface of Earth and satellite:4496 miles
b. Distance between surface of Earth and satellite:4322 miles
c. Distance between surface of Earth and satellite:1286 miles
d. Distance between surface of Earth and satellite:643 miles
e. Distance between surface of Earth and satellite:1492 miles

Answer:

64.3 miles ( D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Circular orbit height ( from the center of the earth ) = 100 mile

angle between satellite and earth = 50°

escape velocity = √2 * 17500 =  24748.73 miles /hour

distance between surface of earth and satellite

x = cos ∅

∴ Cos ∅  = x / 100

x = cos 50° * 100   ≈ 64.3 miles

There are two college entrance exams that are often taken by students, Exam A and Exam B. The composite score on Exam A is appro
elena55 [62]

Answer:

B.The score on Exam A is better, because the percentile for the Exam A score is higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

Two exams. The exam that you did score better is the one in which you had a higher zscore.

The composite score on Exam A is approximately normally distributed with mean 20.1 and standard deviation 5.1.

This means that \mu = 20.1, \sigma = 5.1.

You scored 24 on Exam A. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{24 - 20.1}{5.1}

Z = 0.76

The composite score on Exam B is approximately normally distributed with mean 1031 and standard deviation 215.

This means that \mu = 1031, \sigma = 215.

You scored 1167 on Exam B, s:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{1167 - 1031}{215}

Z = 0.632

You had a better Z-score on exam A, so you did better on that exam.

The correct answer is:

B.The score on Exam A is better, because the percentile for the Exam A score is higher.
