g The international space station has an orbital period of 93 minutes at an altitude (above Earth's surface) of 410 km. A geosyn

chronous satellite has an orbital period of 24 hours. The radius of Earth is 6400 km. Use Kepler's 3rd Law to compare these two and find the orbital altitude of the geosynchronous satellite.

Answer:

r = 4.21 10⁷ m

Explanation:

Kepler's third law It is an application of Newton's second law where the forces of the gravitational force, obtaining

            T² = (\frac{4\pi }{G M_s} ) r³             (1)

           

in this case the period of the season is

            T₁ = 93 min (60 s / 1 min) = 5580 s

            r₁ = 410 + 6370 = 6780 km

            r₁ = 6.780 10⁶ m

for the satellite

           T₂ = 24 h (3600 s / 1h) = 86 400 s

if we substitute in equation 1

            T² = K r³

            K = T₁²/r₁³

            K = \frac{ 5580^2}{ (6.780 10^6)^2}

            K = 9.99 10⁻¹⁴ s² / m³

we can replace the satellite values

            r³ = T² / K

            r³ = 86400² / 9.99 10⁻¹⁴

            r = ∛(7.4724 10²²)

            r = 4.21 10⁷ m

this distance is from the center of the earth

Two small children decide it would be fun to toss a couple of large cats at each other. Cat A (7kg) is thrown at 7m/s and cat B
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

V=4.7m/s

Explanations:

Let Ma mass of cat A=7kg

Va velocity of cat A=7m/s

Mb mass of cat b=6.1kg

VB velocity of cat b=2m/s

From conservation of linear momentum

MaVa+MbVb=(Ma+Mb)V

7*7+6.1*2=(7+6.1)V

61.2=13.1V

V=4.7m/s

An AC source is connected to a series combination of a light bulb and a variable capacitor. If the capacitance is increased, the
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

Since power P=IV

Then it means when current increases, the power increases hence brightness increases. I represent current, P is power and v is voltage.

Current of capacitor when in series connection is given by

I=2\pi fCV

where I is current across capacitor, f is frequency, C is capacitance and v is voltage across capacitance. From this second formula, it is evident that an increase in capacitance increases the current across the capacitor. Therefore, if current increases, power also increases leading to an increase in brightness

A hot air balloon rising vertically is tracked by an observer located 3 miles from the lift-off point. At a certain moment, the
yuradex [85]

Answer:

\frac{dy}{dt}=1.2\frac{mi}{min}

Explanation:

We know that the tangent function relates the angle of the right triangle that forms the hot air balloon rising:

tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}\\y=xtan\theta(1)

Differentiating (1) with respect to time, we get:

\frac{dy}{dt}=tan\theta\frac{dx}{dt}+xsec^{2}\theta\frac{d\theta}{dt}\\

\frac{dx}{dt}=0 since x is a constant value. Replacing:

\frac{dy}{dt}=3mi(sec^{2}\frac{\pi}{3})0.1\frac{rad}{min}\\\frac{dy}{dt}=1.2\frac{mi}{min}
