Answer:

the speed of the satellite is 12,880.53 km/h

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular orbit, r = 24,600 km

time taken to revolve around Earth, t = 12 hours

The circumference of the satellite is calculated as;

L = 2πr

L = 2π x 24,600 km

L = 49,200π km

L = 154,566.36 km

The speed of the satellite;

v = L/t

v = 154,566.36 / 12

v = 12,880.53 km/h

Therefore, the speed of the satellite is 12,880.53 km/h

puteri [66]

Answer:

C. A rubber rod and a glass rod charged this way have opposite charges on them.

Explanation:

When a rubber rod is rubbed against cat fur, it acquires a negative charge, it becomes negatively charged.

When you then try to bring two rubber rod's together, they repel because like charges repel.

Meanwhile, when you rub a glass rod against silk, it loses electrons to the silk material and becomes positively charged.

When you bring two positively charged glass rod's together, they repel, because like charges repel.

However, when you bring the rubber rod and a glass rod together, the attract each other because unlike/opposite charges attract.

Which dog has the most kinetic energy
Blababa [14]
The formula to find the kinetic energy is:

Ek= 1/2 × m × v^2

1. Ek= 1/2×15×3^2
= 67.5 J

2.Ek= 1/2×8×4^2
=64 J

3.Ek= 1/2×12×5^2
= 150 J

4.Ek= 1/2×10×6^2
= 180 J

So the fourth dog has the most kinetic energy.
