-- We're going to be talking about the satellite's speed.
"Velocity" would include its direction at any instant, and
in a circular orbit, that's constantly changing.
-- The mass of the satellite makes no difference.
Since the planet's radius is 3.95 x 10⁵m and the satellite is
orbiting 4.2 x 10⁶m above the surface, the radius of the
orbital path itself is
(3.95 x 10⁵m) + (4.2 x 10⁶m)
= (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (42 x 10⁵m)
= 45.95 x 10⁵ m
The circumference of the orbit is (2 π R) = 91.9 π x 10⁵ m.
The bird completes a revolution every 2.0 hours,
so its speed in orbit is
(91.9 π x 10⁵ m) / 2 hr
= 45.95 π x 10⁵ m/hr x (1 hr / 3,600 sec)
= 0.04 x 10⁵ m/sec
= 4 x 10³ m/sec
(4 kilometers per second)
Answer:
Explanation:
As the contour lines have roughly the same spacing but the actual topography is much steeper, the lines on the mountainous map represent a larger vertical spacing than the lines on the gradual hills.
Answer:
a.
Explanation:
The air moves faster across the top of the surface and exerts less pressure on the air below and thus due to difference in air pressure the top roof is lifted.
hence the correct option is pressure underneath them is reduced.
(Direction) for the fact that it will continue having the momentum at the constant speed in which the engines turned off.
Answer:
b) Asthenosphere
Explanation:
The Earths crust is broken into plates. These plates float on the Asthenosphere. This is observed in the diagram.
