Real-time distance and velocity data is provided by NASA and JPL. At a distance of 153.88 AU (23.020 billion km; 14.304 billion mi) from Earth as of September 5, 2021, it is the most distant artificial object from Earth. The probe made successful flybys of Jupiter, Saturn, and Saturn's largest moon, Titan.

A satellite is in circular orbit at an altitude of 1500 km above the surface of a nonrotating planet with an orbital speed of 9.
Ksju [112]

To solve this problem we will use the Newtonian theory about the speed of a body in space for which the speed of a body in the orbit of a planet is summarized as:

v =  \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Planet

r = Radius of the planet ('h' would be the orbit from the surface)

The escape velocity is

v = 14.9km/h = 14900m/s

Through this equation we can find the mass of the Planet in function of the distance, therefore

M = \frac{v^2R}{2G}

M = \frac{14900^2R}{2(6.67*10^{-11})}

M = 16.64*10^{17}R

The orbital velocity is

v_o = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}

9200^2 = \frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(16.64*10^{17})R}{R+1500*10^3}

11.1*10^7R = (R+15000*10^3)(9200)^2

2.64*10^7R = 12.69*10^{13}

R = 4.81*10^6m

The time period of revolution is,

T = \frac{2\pi(R+h)}{v_o}

T = \frac{2\pi(4.81*10^6+1.5*10^6)}{9200}

T = 4307s

T = 72min = 1hour12min

Therefore the orbital period of the satellite is closes to 1 hour and 12 min

Why is it important to know the location of active and inactive faults in our country?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

I hope this helps.

Explanation:

It's important to know the location of an active fault in order to determine the magnitude of the expected earthquake. There is a chance than an inactive fault can become active again. It's important that we take the locations into account in order to be prepared and ready for if it occurs.

A bag of sugar weighs 3.50 lb on Earth. What would it weigh in newtons on the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration isone-sixth
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

F_{Earth}= 15.57 N

F_{Moon}= 2.60 N

F_{Uranus}= 16.98 N

The mass of the bag is the same on the three planets. m=1.59 kg

Explanation:

The weight of the sugar bag on Earth is:

g=9.81 m/s²

m=3.50 lb=1.59 kg

F_{Earth}=m·g=1.59 kg×9.81 m/s²= 15.57 N

The weight of the sugar bag on the Moon is:

g=9.81 m/s²÷6= 1.635 m/s²

F_{Moon}=m·g=1.59 kg× 1.635 m/s²= 2.60 N

The weight of the sugar bag on the Uranus is:

g=9.81 m/s²×1.09=10.69 m/s²

F_{Uranus}=m·g=1.59 kg×10.69 m/s²= 16.98 N

The mass of the bag is the same on the three planets. m=1.59 kg

Convert time from 12-hour to 24-hour clock. ​
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

4:28

Explanation:

4:28am

a 12 hour clock continues going up after 12 (1:00pm=13:00). minutes stay the same. 12:00pm=00:00. this shows 4:28am, so you count 4 after 00:00.
