Answer:

Eccentricity = 0.0557

Semi-major axis = 9,095 km

Angular momentum/mass = 60,116 $\frac{km^{2} }{Sec}$

Kinetic energies/mass = 24,500 KJ

Potential energies/mass = 21,673 KJ

Explanation:

Eccentricity

To find the eccentricity use the following formula

Eccentricity = [ Altitude from the earth x ( $Velocity^{2}$ / Gravitational parameter for the Earth ) ] - 1

Where

Altitude from the earth radius = Radius of the earth + Altitude of the earth from radius = 6,378 km + 2,210 km = 8,588 km

Velocity = 7,000 m/s

Gravitational parameter for the Earth = 3.986004418 × $10^{14}$

Eccentricity = ?

Placing values in the formula

Eccentricity = [ ( 8,588 km x 1000 ) x ( $7000^{2}$ / 3.986004418 × $10^{14}$ ) ] - 1

Eccentricity = 0.0557

Semi-major axis

Total Distance = Semi-major axis x ( 1 - Eccentricity )

Where

Total Distance = 8,588 km

Eccentricity = 0.0557

8,588 x 1,000 m = Semi-major axis x ( 1 - 0.0557 )

8,588,000 m = Semi-major axis x 0.9443

Semi-major axis = 8,588,000 m / 0.9443

Semi-major axis = 9,094,567.40 m

Semi-major axis = 9,094.56740 km

Semi-major axis = 9,095 km

Angular momentum/mass

L = MVR

L/M = VR

Where

V = Velocity = $\frac{7,000 m/s}{1000}$ = 7 km/s

R = Total Radius = Radius of Earth + Altitude = 6,378 km + 2,210 km = 8,588 km

Placing values in the formula

L/M = 7 km/s x 8,588 km = 60,116 $\frac{km^{2} }{Sec}$

Kinetic energies/mass

Ke = I $W^{2}$

Ke = $\frac{1}{2} mr^{2}$ $W^{2}$ ( Where I = $mr^{2}$ )

$\frac{ke}{m}$ = $\frac{r^2}{2}$ $W^{2}$

$\frac{ke}{m}$ = $\frac{r^2}{2}$ $\frac{V^2}{r^2}$ ( $W^{2}$ = $\frac{V^2}{r^2}$ )

$\frac{ke}{m}$ = $\frac{V^2}{2}$

$\frac{ke}{m}$ = $\frac{7000^2}{2}$

$\frac{ke}{m}$ = 24,500,000 J

$\frac{ke}{m}$ = 24,500 KJ

Potential energies/mass

PE = mgh

$\frac{PE}{m}$ = gh

Where

g = 9.807 $\frac{m}{s^2}$

h = 2,210 km x 1,000 = 2,210,000 m

Placing values in the formula

$\frac{PE}{m}$ = 9.807 $\frac{m}{s^2}$ x 2,210,000 m

$\frac{PE}{m}$ = 21,673,470 J

$\frac{PE}{m}$ = 21,673.470 KJ

$\frac{PE}{m}$ = 21,673 KJ

Why do all planets rotate around the sun in the ssame direction

Nutka1998 [239]

This is because of the conservation of angular momentum, which allows most planets to spin in the same direction, but Venus and Uranus have seem to ignore this as they spin in different directions, as Venus spins clockwise and Uranus is on its side

The lower atmosphere is mostly warmed by radiated heat from Earth's surface. However, water heats up and cools down more slowly

JulsSmile [24]

The answer is B. On a sunny day, the air over a lake will be cooler than the air over the bordering land.

During a rainy day, as a result of colliding clouds an observer saw lighting and a heard thunder sound. The time between seeing

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

d = 1700 meters

Explanation:

During a rainy day, as a result of colliding clouds an observer saw lighting and a heard thunder sound. The time between seeing the lighting and hearing the sound was 5 second, t = 5 seconds

Speed of sound, v = 340 m/s (say)

Let d is the distance of the colliding cloud from the observer. The distance covered by the object. It is given by :

$d=v\times t$

$d=340\ m/s\times 5\ s$

d = 1700 meters

So, the distance of the colliding cloud from the observer is 1700 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 2.00 kg block hangs from a spring balance calibrated in Newtons that is attached to the ceiling of an elevator.(a) What does t

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Part a)

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part b)

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part c)

$Reading = 4.04 kg$

Part d)

from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s

so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block

Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s

from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s

The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass

Explanation:

Part a)

When elevator is ascending with constant speed then we will have

$F_{net} = 0$

$T - mg = 0$

$T = mg$

So it will read same as that of the mass

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part b)

When elevator is decending with constant speed then we will have

$F_{net} = 0$

$T - mg = 0$

$T = mg$

So it will read same as that of the mass

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part c)

When elevator is ascending with constant speed 39 m/s and acceleration 10 m/s/s then we will have

$F_{net} = ma$

$T - mg = ma$

$T = mg + ma$

Reading is given as

$Reading = \frac{mg + ma}{g}$

$Reading = 2.00\frac{9.81 + 10}{9.81}$

$Reading = 4.04 kg$

Part d)

Here the speed of the elevator is constant initially

from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s

so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block

Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s

from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s

The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass

Identify two types of simple machines in this compund machine.

sleet_krkn [62]

the answer would be "screw and lever!", thats the answer because the middle is made into a rod of metal rapped in metal to screw into the cork, and the lever part is the two handles on the side to lift it out of the bottle.
