Answer:

Usually, zeroes are found to the right of a decimal point in significant numbers if you have something like $7\frac{1}{100000000000000000000000000}$ (exaggerated example of course), which is when you have a number that is very very close to the integer before it, but isn't that integer.

A satellite of mass M = 270kg is in circular orbit around the Earth at an altitude equal to the earth's mean radius (6370 km). A

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Orbital Speed as a function of the universal gravitational constant, the mass of the planet and the orbital distance of the satellite. From finding the velocity it will be possible to calculate the period of the body and finally the gravitational force acting on the satellite.

PART A)

$V_{orbital} = \sqrt{\frac{GM_E}{R}}$

Here,

M = Mass of Earth

R = Distance from center to the satellite

Replacing with our values we have,

$V_{orbital} = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.972*10^{24})}{(6370*10^3)+(6370*10^3)}}$

$V_{orbital} = 5591.62m/s$

$V_{orbital} = 5.591*10^3m/s$

PART B) The period of satellite is given as,

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{Gm_E}}$

$T = \frac{2\pi r}{V_{orbital}}$

$T = \frac{2\pi (2*6370*10^3)}{5.591*10^3}$

$T = 238.61min$

PART C) The gravitational force on the satellite is given by,

$F = ma$

$F = \frac{1}{4} mg$

$F = \frac{270*9.8}{4}$

$F = 661.5N$

North America experienced all of the following during the last glacial period EXCEPT alpine glaciers covered the Rocky and Casca

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

the Hudson Bay was covered with alpine glaciers

Explanation:

During the last glacial period, large portions of North America were covered with ice. The majority of the ice was from the ice sheets that were covering Canada and the northern part of the United States, and the alpine glaciers on the mountain ranges. Hudson Bay was all frozen at this point of time. It was not covered with alpine glaciers though, instead it was covered with the ice of the extended ice sheets, with the ice cover reaching up to 2 km in thickness.
