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

What s physics?
Alex777 [14]

The answer is (B. The study of Matter and Energy) but technically you could consider physics all of these as engineering is based on physics and that would be the study of inventions, chemistry and biology were both discovered because of physics, and physics invokes more math than any other subject as it applies math to the entire Universe.

A hair dryer draws a current of 10 A plugged into a 120 V outlet. What is the resistance of the hair dryer?
Ganezh [65]
<span>This problem can be solved by the formula used to find resistance. The formula is R=V/I which basically means divide the Voltage by the Current to find the Resistance in an object. Ohm's law.</span>

Which of the following is an example of an electromagnetic wave? (2 points)
Maru [420]
A) red light
red lights are an example of an electromagnetic wave. visible lights are the only electromagnetic waves we can actually see on the spectrum. red, in particular has the biggest wavelength.

b) ocean waves
ocean waves are not an electromagnetic wave. in fact, it’s a mechanical wave. electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, that is empty space, but mechanical waves cannot.

c) sound waves
sound waves are also not an electromagnetic wave. it’s a mechanical wave. you cannot hear electromagnetic waves.

d) earthquakes
an earthquake is also not an example of electromagnetic waves. it’s a mechanical wave.

hope this helps!
