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.

A circular hole in an aluminum plate is 2.739 cm in diameter at 0.000°C. What is the change in its diameter when the temperature
prisoha [69]

Answer:

L = 2.746 cm

Explanation:

As we know that thermal expansion coefficient of aluminium is given as

\alpha = 24 \times 10^{-6} per ^oC

now we also know that after thermal expansion the final length is given as

L = L_o(1 + \alpha \Delta T)

here we know that

L_o = 2.739 cm

\alpha = 24 \times 10^{-6}

\Delta T = 108 - 0= 108^oC

now we will have

L = 2.739(1 + 24 \times 10^{-6} (108))

L = 2.746 cm

To reduce inductive reactance, what devices are normally placed on transmission or distribution lines?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer : Capacitors

Explanation : Capacitors are normally  placed on transmission or distribution lines when to reduce inductive reactance.

This is because it enhances electromechanical and voltage stability , limit voltage dips at network nodes and reduces the power loss.

So, we can say that inductive reactance normally replace by the capacitors.

A 75kg man climbs the stairs to the fifth floor of a building. A total hieght of 16m. His potential energy has increased by
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

11760 joules

Explanation:

Given

Mass (m) = 75kg

Height (h) = 16m

Required

Determine the increment in potential energy (PE)

This is calculated as thus:

PE = mgh

Where g = 9.8m/s²

Substitute values for m, g and h.

P.E = 75 * 9.8 * 16

P.E = 11760 joules
