Answer:

v ≈ 7900 m/s

Explanation:

centripetal force will equal gravity force

mv²/R = mg

v²/R = g

v² = Rg

v = √(Rg)

v = √(6.4e6(9.8))

v = 7.91959...e+3

v ≈ 7900 m/s

of course, at those velocities and that deep into the atmosphere, the satellite would quickly burn up, slow down, and cause tremendous damage to buildings etc. with the sonic boom shock wave. It would also have to avoid a lot of mountains as 4000 m is not that high.

Suppose you are drinking root beer from a conical paper cup. The cup has a diameter of 10 centimeters and a depth of 13 centimet
sveta [45]

Answer:

The level of the root beer is dropping at a rate of 0.08603 cm/s.

Explanation:

The volume of the cone is :

V=\frac {1}{3}\times \pi\times r^2\times h

Where, V is the volume of the cone

r is the radius of the cone

h is the height of the cone

The ratio of the radius and the height remains constant in overall the cone.

Thus, given that, r = d / 2 = 10 / 2 cm = 5 cm

h = 13 cm

r / h = 5 / 13

r = {5 / 13} h

V=\frac {1}{3}\times \frac {22}{7}\times ({{{\frac {5}{13}\times h}}})^2\times h

V=\frac {550}{3549}\times h^3

Also differentiating the expression of volume w.r.t. time as:

\frac {dV}{dt}=\frac {550}{3549}\times 3\times h^2\times \frac {dh}{dt}

Given: \frac {dV}{dt} = -4 cm³/sec (negative sign to show leaving)

h = 10 cm

So,

-4=\frac{550}{3549}\times 3\times {10}^2\times \frac {dh}{dt}

\frac{55000}{1183}\times \frac {dh}{dt}=-4

\frac {dh}{dt}=-0.08603\ cm/s

<u>The level of the root beer is dropping at a rate of 0.08603 cm/s.</u>

How does hydroelectric energy works?
Snowcat [4.5K]
Actually, hydroelectric and coal-fired power plants produce electricity in a similar way. In both cases a power source is used to turn a propeller-like piece called a turbine, which then turns a metal shaft in an electric generator,which is the motor that produces electricity. A coal-fired power plant uses steam to turn the turbine blades; whereas a hydroelectric plant uses falling water to turn the turbine. The results are the same. :) <span>
