Answer:

7500 m/s

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration = gravity

v² / r = GM / r²

v = √(GM / r)

Given:

G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²

M = 5.98×10²⁴ kg

r = 6.8×10⁵ + 6.357×10⁶ = 7.037×10⁶ m

v = √(6.67×10⁻¹¹ (5.98×10²⁴) / (7.037×10⁶))

v = 7500

The orbital velocity is 7500 m/s.

s344n2d4d5 [400]
No, she has it backward.  Waves interfere with each other and reflect off objects.  When two waves overlap their amplitudes add.  If they have the same sign this addition is constructive, meaning the amplitudes grow.  If they have opposite signs this constitutes subtraction and the waves can partially, or completely cancel.  This is known as interference.  Reflection occurs when waves travel from one medium to another.  If the wave impedance of the new medium is different (which it generally is) there will be a partial, or even total, reflection.

V ( initial ) = 20 m/s
h = 2.30 m
h = v y * t + g t ² / 2
d = v x * t
1 ) At α = 18°:
v y = 20 * sin 18° = 6.18 m/s
v x = 20 * cos 18° = 19.02 m/ s
2.30 = 6.18 t + 4.9 t²
4.9 t² + 6.18 t - 2.30 = 0
After solving the quadratic equation ( a = 4.9, b = 6.18, c = - 2.3 ):
t 1/2 = (- 6.18 +/- √( 6.18² - 4 * 4.9 * (-2.3)) ) / ( 2 * 4.9 )  
t = 0.3 s
d 1 = 19.02 m/s * 0.3 s = 5.706 m
2 ) At  α = 8°:
v y = 20* sin 8° = 2.78 m/s
v x = 20* cos 8° = 19.81 m/s
2.3 = 2.78 t + 4.9 t² 
4.9 t² + 2.78 t - 2.3 = 0
t = 0.46 s
d 2 = 19.81 * 0.46 = 9.113 m
The distance is:
d 2 - d 1 = 9.113 m - 5.706 m = 3.407 m

A 10. g cube of copper at a temperature T1 is placed in an insulated cup containing 10. g of water at a temperature T2. If T1 &g
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

a. The temperature of the copper changed more than the temperature of the water.

Explanation:

Because we're only considering the isolated system cube-water, the heat of the system should be constant, that implies the heat the cube loses is equal the heat the water gains (because by zero law of thermodynamics heat (Q) flows from hot body to cold body until reach thermal equilibrium and T1>T2). So:

Q_{cube}=Q_{water} (1)

But Q is related with mass (m), specific heat (c) and changes in temperature (\varDelta T)in the next way:

Q=cm\varDelta T(2)

Using (2) on (1):

c_{cooper}*m_{cooper}*\varDelta T_{cooper}=c_{water}*m_{waterer}*\varDelta T_{water}

(10g)(0.385 \frac{J}{g\,C})(\varDelta T_{cooper})=(10g)(4.186 \frac{J}{g\,C})(\varDelta T_{water})

(0.385 \frac{J}{g\,C})(\varDelta T_{cooper})=(4.186 \frac{J}{g\,C})(\varDelta T_{water})

Because we have an equality and 0.385 < 4.186 then \varDelta T_{cooper}>\varDelta T_{waterer} to conserve the equality

I think that the girl has greater tangential acceleration because she is closer to the center and the acceleration is greater there.
