What speed should a satellite with a mass of 1500 kg at 8,500 km above the center of the earth be traveling at in order to stay

in orbit (remember the mass of the earth is 5.97×10 to the 24th kg ) (in m/s , G= 6.67×10 to the -11 n (m/kg) ^2)

Answer:

6844.5 m/s.

Explanation:

To get the speed of the satellite, the centripetal force on it must be enough to change its direction. This therefore means that the centripetal force must be equal to the gravitational force.

Formula for centripetal force is;

F_c = mv²/r

Formula for gravitational force is:

F_g = GmM/r²

Thus;

mv²/r = GmM/r²

m is the mass of the satellite and M is mass of the earth.

Making v the subject, we have;

v = √(GM/r)

We are given;

G = 6.67 × 10^(-11) m/kg²

M = 5.97 × 10^(24) kg

r = 8500 km = 8500000

Thus;

v = √((6.67 × 10^(-11) × (5.97 × 10^(24)) /8500000) = 6844.5 m/s.

Answer:

6.8 × 10³ m/s

Explanation:

for those using CK12, the answer, (6.78 × 10³ m/s), rounds to 6.8 × 10³ m/s

1. An object has a mass of 10g and a volume of 50mL. What is the density?
Alona [7]

1. 0.2 g/mL

The relationship between mass, density and volume of an object is

d=\frac{m}{V}

where

d is the density

m is the mass

V is the volume

For the object in this problem, we have

m = 10 g

V = 50 mL

Substituting into the equation,

d=\frac{10}{50}=0.2 g/mL

2. 10 mL

In this exercise we know:

- The density of the object: d = 2 g/mL

- The mass of the object: m = 20 g

Therefore, we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the volume:

V=\frac{m}{d}

And substituting values into the equation, we find

V=\frac{20}{2}=10 mL

What are true statements that reflect why infants experience more fluid and electrolyte changes?
egoroff_w [7]

True statements that reflect why infants experience more fluid and electrolyte changes are that dehydration can upset the  balance of electrolytes in an infant or child and the newborn is at risk of excessive water loss and hypernatremia as the result of high evaporative water loss through the skin.

As infants are not used to the environment around , they are more sensible towards problems such as Dehydration because of fast metabolism.

Dehydration can upset the  balance of electrolytes in an infant or child. Children are especially vulnerable to dehydration due to their small size and fast metabolism, which causes them to replace water and electrolytes at a faster rate than adults.

Infants are particularly prone to the effects of dehydration because of their greater baseline fluid requirements (due to a higher metabolic rate), higher evaporative losses (due to a higher ratio of surface area to volume), and inability to communicate thirst or seek fluid.

The newborn is at risk of excessive water loss and hypernatremia as the result of high evaporative water loss through the skin, insensible water loss (IWL), as well as decreased capacity to concentrate the urine.

A vertical spring launcher is attached to the top of a block and a ball is placed in the launcher, as shown in the figure. While
kvasek [131]

For a vertical spring launcher is attached to the top of a block and a ball is placed in the launcher, the position of the ball will be  behind the box

<h3>What will be the position of the ball relative to the spring launcher?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the  conservation of momentum principle  is mathematically given as

(M+m) V1 = M*V2

Therefore, with the ball moving forward we have that; the ball at top it wii be behind the box,
