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

Can you add and subtract integers and surds together?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Both of these examples are wrong. You cannot add/subtract integers and square roots together, however, you could add square roots together if they have the same number under the square root. For example, 2 - 2√6 will stay as 2 - 2√6 because they aren't like terms. 25 + 5√5 + 5√5 + 5 = 30 + 10√5 because 25 + 5 = 30 and 5√5 + 5√5 = 10√5. We can add 5√5 and 5√5 together because they have the same number under the square root. If we were to compute √2 + √3, we would just leave it as is because they don't have the same number under the square root.

PLEASE HELP!!! TIMED QUESTION!!! NOT A TEST NOR QUIZ!!!!
natita [175]

Answer:

LCD=280

Step-by-step explanation:

Equivalent Fractions with the LCD

1/8 = 35/280

2/7 = 80/280

4/5 = 224/280

Solution:

Rewriting input as fractions if necessary:  1/8, 2/7, 4/5

For the denominators (8, 7, 5) the least common multiple (LCM) is 280.

LCM(8, 7, 5)

Therefore, the least common denominator (LCD) is 280.

Calculations to rewrite the original inputs as equivalent fractions with the LCD:

1/8 = 1/8 × 35/35 = 35/280

2/7 = 2/7 × 40/40 = 80/280

4/5 = 4/5 × 56/56 = 224/280
