Answer:

$t=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s$

Explanation:

Given that,

Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you.

We need to find the time it take the light to travel that distance. Let the time be t. We know that,

speed = distance/time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{1609}{3\cdot10^{8}}\\\\=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s$

So, the required time is $5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s$

A velocity selector in a mass spectrometer uses an electric field of 4.4 x 105 V/m. What magnetic field strength (in Tesla) is n

Brut [27]

Answer:

B = 9.16 10⁻² T

Explanation:

The speed selector is a configuration where the electric and magnetic force has the opposite direction, which for a specific speed cancel

q v B = q E

v = E / B

B = E / v

Let's calculate

B = 4.4 10⁵ / 4.8 10⁶

B = 9.16 10⁻² T

A satellite is launched to orbit the Earth at an altitude of 3.25 107 m for use in the Global Positioning System (GPS). Take the

Korolek [52]

Answer:Orbital period =21.22hrs

Explanation:

given that

mass of earth M = 5.97 x 10^24 kg

radius of a satellite's orbit, R= earth's radius + height of the satellite

6.38X 10^6 + 3.25 X10^7 m =3.89 X 10^7m

Speed of satellite, v= $\sqrt GM/R$

where G = 6.673 x 10-11 N m2/kg2

V= \sqrt (6.673x10^-11 x 5.97x10^ 24)/(3.89 X 10^ 7m)

V =10,241082.2

v= 3,200.2m/s

a) Orbital period

$\sqrt GM/R$ = $\frac{2\pi r}{T}$

V= $\frac{2\pi r}{T}$

T= 2 $\pi$ r/ V

= 2 X 3.142 X 3.89 X 10^7m/ 3,200.2m/s

=76,385.1 s

60 sec= 1min

60mins = 1hr

76,385.1s =hr

76,385.1/3600=21.22hrs
