Light waves do not need a medium in which to travel but sound waves do. Explain that unlike sound, light waves travel fastest through a vacuum and air, and slower through other materials such as glass or water.

A satellite is revolving the earth 4km above the surface.find the orbital velocity of the satellite (R =6400km,g=9.8m/s^2)

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

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 steel wire of length 31.0 m and a copper wire of length 17.0 m, both with 1.00-mm diameters, are connected end to end and stre

Brut [27]

Answer:

The time taken is $t = 0.356 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of steel the wire is $l_1 = 31.0 \ m$

The length of the copper wire is $l_2 = 17.0 \ m$

The diameter of the wire is $d = 1.00 \ m = 1.0 *10^{-3} \ m$

The tension is $T = 122 \ N$

The time taken by the transverse wave to travel the length of the two wire is mathematically represented as

$t = t_s + t_c$

Where $t_s$ is the time taken to transverse the steel wire which is mathematically represented as

$t_s = l_1 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{\rho * \pi * d^2 }{ 4 * T} } ]$

here $\rho_s$ is the density of steel with a value $\rho_s = 8920 \ kg/m^3$

So

$t_s = 31 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{8920 * 3.142* (1*10^{-3})^2 }{ 4 * 122} } ]$

$t_s = 0.235 \ s$

And

$t_c$ is the time taken to transverse the copper wire which is mathematically represented as

$t_c = l_2 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{\rho_c * \pi * d^2 }{ 4 * T} } ]$

here $\rho_c$ is the density of steel with a value $\rho_s = 7860 \ kg/m^3$

So

$t_c = 17 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{7860 * 3.142* (1*10^{-3})^2 }{ 4 * 122} } ]$

$t_c =0.121$

So

$t = t_c + t_s$

$t = 0.121 + 0.235$

$t = 0.356 \ s$
