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.

ioda

Answer:

13.5

Explanation:

Mass: 5kg

Initial Velocity: -15

Final Velocity: 12

Force: 10

We can use the equation: Vf = Vi + at

We need to find acceleration, and we can use the equation, F=ma,

We have mass and the force so it would look like this, 10=5a, and 5 times 2 would equal 10, so acceleration would be 2.

Now we have all the variables to find time.

Back to Vf = Vi + at, plug the numbers in, 12 = -15 + 2(t)

Plugging them in into desmos gives 13.5 for time.

In 1976, the SR-71A, flying at 20 km altitude (T = –56 0C), set the official jet-powered aircraft speed record of 3530 km/hr (21

Lapatulllka [165]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the calculation of the speed of sound, the calculation of the Mach number and finally the calculation of the temperature at the front stagnation point. We will calculate the speed in international units as well as the temperature. With these values we will calculate the speed of the sound and the number of Mach. Finally we will calculate the temperature at the front stagnation point.

The altitude is,

$z = 20km$

And the velocity can be written as,

$V = 3530km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})$

$V = 980.55m/s$

From the properties of standard atmosphere at altitude z = 20km temperature is

$T = 216.66K$

$k = 1.4$

$R = 287 J/kg$

Velocity of sound at this altitude is

$a = \sqrt{kRT}$

$a = \sqrt{(1.4)(287)(216.66)}$

$a = 295.049m/s$

Then the Mach number

$Ma = \frac{V}{a}$

$Ma = \frac{980.55}{296.049}$

$Ma = 3.312$

So front stagnation temperature

$T_0 = T(1+\frac{k-1}{2}Ma^2)$

$T_0 = (216.66)(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}*3.312^2)$

$T_0 = 689.87K$

Therefore the temperature at its front stagnation point is 689.87K

Describe the interactive roles and statuses of individuals and groups in your community.

julia-pushkina [17]

In our community, every person takes a certain role in a way that they contribute something for the development of the community. Certain interactive roles include trainings, team buildings, meetings, fund raising, and etc. Every individual has also gained their own statuses depending on what they have achieved and what they have contributed as well. Those individuals that are classified in the higher statuses are those who are experienced and trained to lead. These roles and statuses help our community become better as well as helping the youth to be great models and individuals in the future.

A thin glass rod is submerged in oil. What is the critical angle for light traveling inside the rod? The index of refraction for

Alekssandra [29.7K]

When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, the critical angle is the angle of incidence above which light is reflected only (no refraction occurs), and the value of this critical angle is given by
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )$
where n2 is the refractive index of the second medium and n1 is the refractive index of the first medium.

In this problem, the first medium is the glass ( $n_1 = 1.50$ ), while the second medium is oil ( $n_2 =1.46$ ), therefore the critical angle is given by
$\theta_c = \arcsin( \frac{1.46}{1.50} )=\arcsin(0.973)=76.7^{\circ}$
