When the swimmer gets out, the water on her skin begins to evaporate. This process requires takes a lot of energy and that energy comes from the heat of her body. This is similar to when someone sweats. Hope this helps!

Satellite A is orbiting Earth at an altitude of 500 km and Satellite B is orbiting 800 km above the surface . How does the veloc

sp2606 [1]

The velocity of Satellite A is 2% greater than velocity of satellite B.

The given parameters;

<em>Altitude of Satellite A = 500 km</em>
<em>Altitude of Satellite B = 800 km</em>

The forces acting on the Satellites are given as follows;

$F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2} \\\\\frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{GM}{r^2}\\\\v^2 = \frac{GM}{r} \\\\v^2 r = GM\\\\v_1^2 r _1 = v_2^2 r_2\\\\v_A^2r_A = v_B^2 r_B\\\\(\frac{v_A}{v_B} )^2 = \frac{r_B}{r_A} \\\\\frac{v_A}{v_B} = \sqrt{\frac{r_B}{r_A} } \\\\\frac{v_A}{v_B} = \sqrt{\frac{(800,000\ + \ 6.4 \times 10^6}{(500,000\ + \ 6.4 \times 10^6} )} \\\\\frac{v_A}{v_B} = 1.02 \\\\v_A = 1.02 \ v_B$

$v_A = v_B( 100\% \ + 2\%)\\\\v_A = 100\%v_B \ + \ \ 2\% v_B\\\\v_A = v_B \ \ + \ 2\% v_B$

Thus, the velocity of Satellite A is 2% greater than velocity of satellite B.

A 1400 kg aircraft going 40 m/s collides with a 1500 kg aircraft that is parked and they stick together after the collision and

Leni [432]

Answer:

67.6 m

Explanation:

For this problem, we just need to analyze the motion of the two planes after the collision.

The two planes stick together and move with a velocity of

u = 19.3 m/s

The problem tells us that they skid until they stop: so, their final velocity is

v = 0

Since the velocity is not constant, this means that they are accelerating.

We also know that they skid for a time of

t = 7 s

Therefore, we can find their stopping distance using the following suvat equation

$s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t$

And substituting, we find

$s=(\frac{0+19.3}{2})(7)=67.6 m$

What happens to the density when water is poured into a empty glass?

san4es73 [151]

-- The density of the glass alone doesn't change.

-- The density of the water alone doesn't change.

-- The density of (the entire glass + everything IN IT) increases,
because the part that used to be air (with very low density) is
changed to water (with much higher density than the air had).

How can people take picture fpr black hole?

Jet001 [13]

We actually cant, really. Black Holes are really very powerful and don't just happen in some random place in the cosmos. We have got shots of Black holes that you cannot even see, but all the other big black holes that look like something straight of a sci-fi movie that look real, are really just photo- shopped. good question. Hope This Helped.

A horse does 910 J of work in 380 seconds while pulling a wagon. What is the power output of the horse? Round your answer to two

frutty [35]

Answer: 2.4 watts

Explanation:

Work done by horse = 910J

Time = 380 seconds

Power output of the horse = ?

Recall that power is the rate of doing work. Thus, power is workdone divided by time taken.

i.e Power = (work/time)

Power = 910J/380seconds

Power = 2.395 watts (rounded to two significant figures as 2.4 watts)

Thus, the power output of the horse is 2.4 watts
