Answer:

Rita runs faster

Explanation:

To obtain the answer to the question given, we determine the speed of Rita. This can be obtained as follow:

Distance = 1.6 km

Time = 15 mins

Speed =?

Next, we shall convert 15 mins to hour. This can be obtained as follow:

60 mins = 1 h

Therefore,

15 mins = 15 mins × 1 h / 60 mins

15 mins = 0.25 h

Thus, 15 mins is equivalent to 0.25 h.

Finally, we shall determine speed of Rita as follow:

Distance = 1.6 km

Time = 0.25 h

Speed =?

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 1.6 / 0.25

Speed = 6.4 Km/h

Thus Rita's speed is 6.4 Km/h

Comparing the speed of Rahul and Rita

Rahul's speed = 4.5 km/h

Rita's speed = 6.4 Km/h

We can see that Rita's speed is greater than Rahul's speed. This simply indicates that Rita runs faster than Rahul.

A 100-kg spacecraft is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height h = 2RE .

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Gravitational Force and the centripetal force by equilibrium,

$F_g = F_c$

$\frac{GmM}{r^2} = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Where,

m = Mass of spacecraft

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius (Orbit)

G = Gravitational Universal Music

v = Velocity

Re-arrange to find the velocity

$\frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$\frac{GM}{r} = v^2$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

PART A ) The radius of the spacecraft's orbit is 2 times the radius of the earth, that is, considering the center of the earth, the spacecraft is 3 times at that distance. Replacing then,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.97*10^{24})}{3*(6.371*10^6)}}$
