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

Find the sample variance and standard deviation of: <br><br>21, 12, 3, 9, 11<br><br><br>s2=?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

42. 2

6.496

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

21, 12, 3, 9, 11

Variance :

S² = Σ(x - m)² ÷ (n - 1)

n = sample size = 5

m = sample mean = Σx / n

m = (21 + 12 + 3 + 9 + 11) / 5

m = 11. 2

(21-11.2)² + (12 -11.2)² + (3 - 11.2)² + (9-11.2)²

+ (11-11.2)² / (5 - 1)

S² = 42.2

Standard deviation, s = sqrt(42.2) = 6.496
