This question involves the concepts of orbital velocity and orbital radius.

The orbital velocity of ISS must be "7660.25 m/s".

The orbital velocity of the ISS can be given by the following formula:

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

where,

v = orbital velocity = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

M = Mass of Earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

R = orbital radius = radius of earth + altitude = 63.78 x 10⁵ m + 4.08 x 10⁵ m

R = 67.86 x 10⁵ m

Therefore,

v=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ N.m^2/kg^2)(5.97\ x\ 10^{24}\ kg)}{67.86\ x\ 10^5\ m}}

<u>v = 7660.25 m/s</u>

Which type of relationship is formed when a megabat eats a fig and drops the
Alina [70]

The type of relationship formed when a megabat eats a fig and drops the seeds in a new location is COMENSALISM. It is an ecological interaction.

<h3>What is commensalism?</h3>

Commensalism is a type of ecological interaction in which one organism benefits (in this case, the tree)  and the other organism neither benefits nor harm (the megabat).

Mutualism is a type of ecological association in which both organisms benefit from such interaction.

Conversely, parasitism is a type of ecological interaction in which one organism benefits and the other organism is harmed.

a 2100-kg car drives with a speed of 18 m/s onb a flat road around a curve that has a radius of curvature of 83m. The coefficien
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

<u>The magnitude of the friction force is 8197.60 N</u>

Explanation:

Using the definition of the centripetal force we have:

\Sigma F=ma_{c}=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}

Where:

  • m is the mass of the car
  • v is the speed
  • R is the radius of the curvature

Now, the force acting in the motion is just the friction force, so we have:

F_{f}=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}

F_{f}=2100\frac{18^{2}}{83}

F_{f}=8197.60 \: N

<u>Therefore the magnitude of the friction force is 8197.60 N</u>

I hope it helps you!

An aircraft with a mass of 10,000 kg starts from rest at sea level and takes off, then flies to a cruising speed of 620 km/h and
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The change in potential energy and kinetic energy are 980 MJ and 148.3 MJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of aircraft = 10000 kg

Speed = 620 km/h = 172.22 m/s

Altitude = 10 km = 1000 m

We calculate the change in potential energy

\Delta P.E=mg(h_{2}-h_{1})

\Delta P.E=10000\times9.8\times(10000-0)

\Delta P.E=10000\times9.8\times10000

\Delta P.E=980000000\ J

\Delta P.E=980\ MJ

For g = 10 m/s²,

The change in potential energy will be 1000 MJ.

We calculate the change in kinetic energy

\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_{2}^2-v_{1}^2)

\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times10000\times(172.22^2-0^2)

\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times10000\times(172.22^2)

\Delta K.E=148298642\ J

\Delta K.E=148.3\ MJ

For g = 10 m/s²,

The change in kinetic energy will be 150 MJ.

Hence, The change in potential energy and kinetic energy are 980 MJ and 148.3 MJ.
