Answer:

v = 4.79 10³ m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the universal law of gravitation and Newton's second law

          F = G M m / r²

where G is the gravitational constant, m the mass of the satellite, M the mass of the Earth, r the distance from the center of the planet to the satellite

           F = m a

since the satellite has a circular path, the acceleration is centripetal

          a = v² / r

we substitute

          G M m / r² = m v² / r

           G M / r = v²

   

We calculate

          v² = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ / 6.96 10⁶

          v = √ (22.94 10⁶)

          v = 4.79 10³ m / s

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

In 0.5 seconds.

Explanation:

The time would be the same because it only depends on the height and the vertical component of the initial velocity. This is of course because each direction must be treated independently. Since between both cases only the horizontal speed changes, the height is the same and the vertical component of the initial velocity is null for both, the time to fall is the same.

Select all that apply. What factors can limit growth?
Rudiy27
A, b and d

Competition for fix resources of course increases the energy expenditure needed to gather those resources and leaves less for a given population. A lower amount of sunlight or water also contributes to decreased energy which lowers growth. Finally, small borders limit growth in that population density can only go so high before the death rate increases beyond the birth rate.
