What should be the speed of an artificial satellite moving on a circular orbit around the Earth at a distance of 400 km from the

surface of the Earth? Express your answer in km / sec and also miles per hour. This exercise tells you that objects in space are typically moving very fast and gives you an idea of why the impact of a meteorite or comet on Earth can cause extinction level events. Just for fun, watch the movie "Deep impact" as a follow up to this exercise.

Answer:

7.67001846 km/s or 17157.38529 mph

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

M = Mass of the Earth =  5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

m = Mass of satellite

v = Velocity of satellite

The distance between the Earth's center and the satellite is

r = 6371000+400000 = 6771000 m

As the centripetal force balances the force of gravity we have

\frac{mv^2}{r}=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{6771000}}\\\Rightarrow v=7670.01846\ m/s=7.67001846\ km/s

Converting to mph

7670.01846\times \frac{3600}{1609.34}=17157.38529\ mph

The velocity of the satellite is 7.67001846 km/s or 17157.38529 mph

Gold has a density of 19300 kg/m3 calculate the mass of 0.02m3 of gold in kilograms​
aev [14]

Answer:

The mass of 0.02 m³ of gold is 386 kilograms

Explanation:

Given:

The density of the gold = 19300 kg/m³.

The volume of gold = 0.02 m³

To Find:

The mass of gold = ?

Solution:

We know that density is mass divided per unit volume.

Thus mathematically

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}Density=

volume

mass

Rewriting in terms of mass ,

Mass = density * volume

On substituting the known values

Mass = 19300 kg/m³ * 0.02 m³

Mass = 386 kilograms

While buying a hot plate you notice the resistance of the hot
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Current = 5.45amps

Power = 654 watts

Explanation:

E =120V

I =?

R = 22.02 Ohms

I= E/R

I= 120/22.02

I = 5.45AmPs

P = ?                    P= E x R

E = 120V              P= 120x5.45

I = 5.45 AmPs      P=  654W

Part A:
svetlana [45]
Part A:
( 5,000 : 100 ) * 6 = 300 lit.
300 lit.  * 1.066 Euros/ lit. = 318.9 Euros
1 Euro = 1.20 USD
318.9 * 1.20 = 382.68 USD

Part B :
6 lit./100 km = 0.06 lit/1 km
1 gal = 3.7853 lit.
1 mile = 1.609344 km
0.06 : 3.7853 = 0.01585
... = 0.01585 gal / 1 km  / * 1.609344
= 0.0255 gal/mile
