Answer:

T=66262.4s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Altitude A=2.90 *10^7

Mass m=5.97 * 10^{24} kg

Radius r=6.38 *10^6 m.

Generally the equation for Satellite Speed is mathematically given by

V=(\frac{GM}{d} )^{0.5}

V=(\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*5.97 * 10^{24}}{6.38 *10^6+2.90 *10^7} )^{0.5}

V=3354.83m/s

Therefore

Period T is Given as

T=\frac{2 \pi *a}{V}

T=\frac{2 \pi *(6.38 *10^6+2.90 *10^7}{3354.83}

T=66262.4s

timama [110]

Answer:

90 meters

Explanation:

Given:

x₀ = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 30 m/s

t = 6 s

Find:

x

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

x = 0 + ½ (30 + 0)(6)

x = 90

The car travels 90 meters.
