A satellite in a 100-mile-high circular orbit around Earth has a velocity of approximately 17,500 miles per hour.If this velocit

y is multiplied by √2 the satellite will have the minimum velocity necessary to escape Earth's gravity and will follow a parabolic path with the center of Earth as the focus.
Required:
Find the distance between the surface of the Earth and the satellite when θ = 50°.

a. Distance between surface of Earth and satellite:4496 miles
b. Distance between surface of Earth and satellite:4322 miles
c. Distance between surface of Earth and satellite:1286 miles
d. Distance between surface of Earth and satellite:643 miles
e. Distance between surface of Earth and satellite:1492 miles

Answer:

64.3 miles ( D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Circular orbit height ( from the center of the earth ) = 100 mile

angle between satellite and earth = 50°

escape velocity = √2 * 17500 =  24748.73 miles /hour

distance between surface of earth and satellite

x = cos ∅

∴ Cos ∅  = x / 100

x = cos 50° * 100   ≈ 64.3 miles

A single carton of juice costs $4.20. A special offer pack of 3 cartons costs $9.45. Ali bought a special offer pack instead of
fgiga [73]

1 cartons of juice = $4.20

3 single cartons = 4.20 * 3 =  $12.60

1 pack = $9.45

He saved 12.60 - 9.45 = $3.15

So, he saved $3.15, compared to the total ($12.60)

To calculate the percentage, we will do a proportion:

3.15 (money saved) : 12.60 (total of 3 single cartons) = x (how much percentage) : 100 (total)

3.15 : 12.6 = x : 100

To calculate x, we will moltiplicate the ends (where we have known numbers) than divide all per 12.6

So

x = (3.15 * 100) / 12.60 = 315 / 12.6 = 25

So the percentage saving is 25%

For the month of June, Mae Green budgeted the following amounts: $180 for food, $475 for rent, $15 for transportation, $50 for i
ycow [4]
Question 1

Total budget = 180 + 475 + 15 + 50 + 65 + 25 + 150 + 30 = $990
Real spending = 182 + 475 + 12 + 65 + 68 + 12.50 + 150 + 36  = $1000.5

Mae Green didn't stay within the allocated budget

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 2

Eleanor:
Income = 380.48
Spending = 16.50

Peter:
Income = 120 + 13.65 + 100 = 233.65

Total income = 233.65 + 380.48 - 16.50 = 597.63

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 3

Total spent = 540 + 48.55 + 34.15 + 12.80 + 18.95 + 38.60 + 2 + 6.50 = 701.55

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 4 

Marie's new balance = 250.65 - [21.95+48.50+75.60] + 55 = $159.50

Use Gauss's Law to find the charge contained in the solid hemisphere x2 + y2 + z2 ≤ a2, z ≥ 0, if the electric field is E(x, y,
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:<em><u> \frac{16}{3}πa^{3} . </u></em>

Given:

x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2} \leq a^{2}, z \geq 0

Using Gauss's Law = ∫∫s E ·dS  

= ∫∫∫ div E dV,  

⇒ Divergence (Gauss') Theorem  

= ∫∫∫ (1+1+6) dV  

= 8×(volume of the hemisphere, radius "a")  

= 8× (\frac{1}{2})(4/3)πa^{3}  

<em><u>= \frac{16}{3}πa^{3} . </u></em>

Write and solve a quadratic equation for the situation below. Choose the answer that has both an equation that correctly models
Andreas93 [3]
Acceleration is:

a=g

Velocity is the integral of the above

v=gt+v0

And position is the integral of the above

h=gt^2/2+v0t+h0

You are given that v0=15ft/s and h0=0ft and let g≈-32 so

h(t)=-16t^2+15t

It will hit the ground when h(t)=0 so:

0=-16t^2+15t which is equal to

16t^2-15t=0  factor

t(16t-15)=0, since we are looking for the time other than zero...

t=15/16 of a second :)

So they obviously just rounded to one whole second.  So C.) was the correct answer.  (Although I would say they are all wrong because they didn't SAY to round the answer :P)   Haha, not trying to confuse you, the answer is most likely C. because they had the correct equation.
