-- We're going to be talking about the satellite's speed.
"Velocity" would include its direction at any instant, and
in a circular orbit, that's constantly changing.
-- The mass of the satellite makes no difference.
Since the planet's radius is 3.95 x 10⁵m and the satellite is
orbiting 4.2 x 10⁶m above the surface, the radius of the
orbital path itself is
(3.95 x 10⁵m) + (4.2 x 10⁶m)
= (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (42 x 10⁵m)
= 45.95 x 10⁵ m
The circumference of the orbit is (2 π R) = 91.9 π x 10⁵ m.
The bird completes a revolution every 2.0 hours,
so its speed in orbit is
(91.9 π x 10⁵ m) / 2 hr
= 45.95 π x 10⁵ m/hr x (1 hr / 3,600 sec)
= 0.04 x 10⁵ m/sec
= 4 x 10³ m/sec
(4 kilometers per second)
Answer:
An Oven
Explanation:
The heat is higher, so it moves faster. Shile in a freezer the particles are extremely slow!
Answer:
Kinetic Energy
Explanation:
The potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy. The hitter has struck the ball transferring the kinetic energy from the swinging bat to the ball.
Take 320 and divide by 8
320/8 = 40 mi/hr or A
