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.

A filled water tower sits on the top of the highest hill near a city. The cylindrical tower has a height of 55.0 m
Reika [66]

Answer:

539 kPa

Explanation:

Pressure equals density times acceleration of gravity times depth.

P = ρgh

Water has a density of 1000 kg/m³, and acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (55.0 m)

P = 539,000 Pa

P = 539 kPa

Stairway must have uniform riser height and tread depth; variations in riser height or tread depth shall not be over _______ inc
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

\frac{3}{8} inches

Explanation:

the variations in riser height or tread depth should not be grater than \frac{3}{8} inches that is equal to 9.5 mm but the maximum riser height should be the  \frac{81}{4} inch  but variation in riser height should not exceed to \frac{3}{8} inches. The minimum riser height should be 7 inches which is equal to the 178 mm
