6. A satellite is orbiting Earth just above its surface. The centripetal force making the satellite follow a circular trajectory
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Engular velocity: w=1,24*10^{-3}/s

Linear velocity: V=7905 m/s

The time it takes:

t=5060s=84min

Explanation:

The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration can be related to the angular velocity and radius as:

(1)a=r*w^{2}

Solving for w:

(2)w=\sqrt{\frac{a}{r} }

Replacing a=9,8m/s2 and r=6,375,000m:

(3)w=\sqrt{\frac{9,8m/s^{2}}{6375000m} }=1,24*10^{-3}/s

And the angular velocity relates to the linear velocity:

V=w*r=1,24*10^{-3}/s*6375000m=7905 m/s

The perimeter of the orbit is:

P=\pi *2*r=\pi *2*6375000m=40.05*10^{6}m

The time it takes:

t=\frac{P}{V} =\frac{40.05*10^{6}m}{7905 m/s}=5060s=84min

A ray of light has a wavelength of
MArishka [77]

Answer:

The wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of light, \lambda=284\ nm

The refractive index of glass, n = 1.51

We need to find the wavelength in vacuum. The relation between wavelength and refractive index is given by :

n=\dfrac{\lambda_v}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda_v=n\times \lambda\\\\\lambda_v=1.51\times 284\\\\\lambda_v=428.8\ nm

So, the wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.

GaryK [48]

Answer:

3.1 m/s

Explanation:

The total distance she has to run is the addition of the three lengths:

47 + 63 + 76 = 186 meters.

She needs to cover it one minute (60 seconds). Therefore her speed must be:

186 m / 60 s = 3.1 m/s

Un objeto se suelta desde determinada altura y emplea un tiempo t en caer al suelo. Si se cuadruplica la altura desde la cual se
blondinia [14]

When an object falls from a h height, you should work with the uniformly accelerated linear movement equations:

y=½*a*t²+Vo*t+yo

You should consider:

a=-g=-10m/s²

yo=h

If it’s a freefall, it means it starts from rest, which means it has no initial velocity:

Vo=0

Replacing that information in the equation:

y=½*(-10m/s²)*t²+0*t+h=-5m/s²*t²+0+h=-5m/s²*t²+h

So this is the

Besides, if you want to find out how long it takes for it to get to the floor, you should put the height of the floor as final height, which would be 0 (assuming the initial height has been measured from there):

y=0

0=-5m/s²*t²+h

5m/s²*t²=h

t²=h/(5m/s²)

t=√(h/(5m/s²))

t=√(hs²/(5m))

t=(√(h/(5m)))s

<span>If we <span>quadruple </span>h:</span>

t2=(√(h2/(5m)))s=(√(4*h1/(5m)))s=(√4)*(√h1/(5m)))s=2*(√h1/(5m)))s=2*t1

This 4 goes inside the square root, so then it converts to 2. So the new time is twice as much the previous time.

Concerning velocity, you have to use the other equation:

v=at+vo

As I said before, a is gravity and vo is zero.

v=-10m/s²*t+0=-10m/s²*t

Final velocity is directly related to time, so if time is doubled, so is velocity.

v2=-10m/s²*t2=-10m/s²*(2*t1)=2*(-10m/s²*t1)=2*v1

<span>So the correct answer is A, and the other ones are false.</span>
