During the first 6 years of its operation, the Hubble Space Telescope circled the Earth 37,000 times, for a total of 1,280,000,0

madreJ [45]

Answer:

$Kilometers\ in\ 1\ Orbit=\frac{1.28*10^9 Km}{3.7*10^4orbits}$

$Kilometers\ in\ 1\ Orbit=3.46*10^4 Km/Orbit$

Explanation:

Given Data:

Numbers of times Telescope cycled around the earth in 6 years=37,000 times

Total Distance traveled in 6 years by the Hubble Space Telescope=1,280,000,000 Km

Find:

Kilometers in one Orbit=?

Solution:

Kilometers in 37,000 Orbits=1,280,000,000 Km

Kilometers in 1 Orbit=1,280,000,000/37,000

In Scientific Notation:

$Kilometers\ in\ 3.7*10^4\ Orbits=1.28*10^9 Km$

$Kilometers\ in\ 1\ Orbit=\frac{1.28*10^9 Km}{3.7*10^4 orbits}$

Kilometers in 1 Orbit=34594.594 Km

Kilometers in 1 Orbit in Scientific notation:

$Kilometers\ in\ 1\ Orbit=3.46*10^4 Km$

5. A person fishing from a pier observes that four wave crests pass by in 7.0 s and estimates that the distance between two succ

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

v= 1.71 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Distance between two successive crests = 4.0 m

λ = 4 m

T= 7 sec

T is the time between 3 waves.

3 waves = 7 sec

1 wave = 7 /3 sec

So t= 7/3 s

We know that frequency f

f= 1/t= 3/7 Hz

Lets take speed of the wave is v

v= f λ

f=frequency

λ=wavelength

v= 3/7 x 4 = 12 /7

v= 1.71 m/s

A cyclist traveling at constant speed of 12m/s when he passes a stationary bus.The bus starts moving just as the cyclist passes

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A.) 8 seconds

B.) 16 seconds

C.) 48 m

Explanation:

Given that a cyclist traveling at constant speed of 12 m/s

and the bus accelerates uniformly at 1.5ms²

A.) The bus has the following parameters

Acceleration a = 1.5 m/s^2

Initial velocity U = 0. Since the bus is starting from rest.

Final velocity V = 12 m/s

Use equation one of linear motion.

V = U + at

Substitute V, U and a into the formula

12 = 0 + 1.5t

1.5t = 12

t = 12/1.5

t = 8 seconds

Therefore, the bus reach the same speed as the cyclist at 8 seconds.

B.) For the cyclist moving at constant speed, acceleration a = 0. Using second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2at^2

Since a = 0, the equation is reduced to:

h = Ut.

Also, for the bus,

h = Ut + 1/2at^2

Equate the two equations since the h is the same

Ut = Ut + 1/2at^2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

12t = 0 + 1/2 × 1.5t^2

12t = 0.75t^2

0.75t = 12

t = 12/0.75

t = 16 seconds

Therefore, the bus takes 16 seconds to catch the cyclist

C.) Use third equation of linear motion.

V^2 = U^2 + 2as

Where s = distance

Substitute V, U and a into the formula

12^2 = 0 + 2 × 1.5 S

144 = 3S

S = 144/3

S = 48 m
