Answer:

B The resultant force on the satellite is towards the Earth.

Explanation:

In the case when the satellite orbits earth would be at constant speed in the circular orbit so hee the resultant force that on the satellite would be with regard to the earth

So as per the given situation, the option B is correct

And, the rest of the options would be wrong

And, the same would be relevant

Suppose a 48-N sled is resting on packed snow. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10. If a person weighing 660 N sits on t
Annette [7]

Assume the snow is uniform, and horizontal.

Given:

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.10 = muK

weight of sled = 48 N

weight of rider = 660 N

normal force on of sled with rider = 48+660 N = 708 N = N

Force required to maintain a uniform speed

= coefficient of kinetic friction * normal force

= muK * N

= 0.10 * 708 N

=70.8 N


Note: it takes more than 70.8 N to start the sled in motion, because static friction is in general greater than kinetic friction.

The sound intensity of a certain type of food processor in normally distributed with standard deviation of 2.9 decibels. If the
Maru [420]

Answer: (48.41,\ 52.19)

Explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Given : Sample size : n=9

Sample mean : \ovreline{x}=50.3\text{ decibels}

Standard deviation : \sigma=2.9\text{ decibels }

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

Now, the 95% confidence interval estimate of the (true, unknown) mean sound intensity of all food processors of this type :-

50.3\pm (1.96)\dfrac{2.9}{\sqrt{9}}\\\\\approx50.3\pm1.89\\\\=(50.3-1.89,\ 50.3+1.89)=(48.41,\ 52.19)

An electric field of intensity 3.25 kN/C is applied along the x-axis. Calculate the electric flux through a rectangular plane 0.
jekas [21]

Answer:

\varphi_1= 796.25 N m^2/C

\varphi_2= 0 N m^2/C

\varphi_3=686.1  N m^2/C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Electric field of intensity E= 3.25 kN/C

Rectangle parameter Width W=0.350 m  Length L=0.700 m

Angle to the normal \angle=30.5 \textdegree

Generally the equation for Electric flux at parallel to the yz plane \varphi_1 is mathematically given by

\varphi_1=EA cos theta

\varphi_1=3.25* 10^3 N/C * ( 0.350)(0.700) cos 0

\varphi_1= 796.25 N m^2/C

Generally the equation for Electric flux at parallel to xy  plane \varphi_2 is mathematically given by

\varphi_2=EA cos theta

\varphi_2=3.25* 10^3 N/C * ( 0.350)(0.700) cos 90

\varphi_2= 0 N m^2/C

Generally the equation for Electric flux at angle 30 to x plane \varphi_3 is mathematically given by

\varphi_3=EA cos theta

\varphi_3=3.25* 10^3 N/C * ( 0.350)(0.700) cos 30.5

\varphi_3=686.072219  N m^2/C

\varphi_3=686.1  N m^2/C

Achilles and the tortoise are having a race. The tortoise can run 1 mile (or whatever the Hellenic equivalent of this would be)
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Surely Achilles will catch the Tortoise, in 400 seconds

Explanation:

The problem itself reduces the interval of time many times, almost reaching zero. However, if we assume the interval constant, then it is clear that in two hours Achilles already has surpassed the Tortoise (20 miles while the Tortoise only 3).

To calculate the time, we use kinematic expression for constant speed:

x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{tor}v_{tor}=1+t_{tor}\\x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{ach}v_{ach}=10t_{ach}

The moment that Achilles catch the tortoise is found by setting the same final position for both (and same time as well, since both start at the same time):

1+t=10t\\t=1/9 hour=0.11 hours
