A 1,160 kg satellite orbits Earth with a tangential speed of 7,446 m/s. If the satellite experiences a centripetal force of 8,95

5 N, what is the height of the satellite above the surface of Earth? Recall that Earth’s radius is 6.38 × 106 m and Earth’s mass is 5.97 × 1024 kg.

Answer:

8.02×10⁵ m

Explanation:

Equation for centripetal force:

F = mv²/r

Solving for r:

r = mv²/F

Given:

F = 8955 N

m = 1160 kg

v = 7446 m/s

r = (1160 kg) (7446 m/s)² / 8955 N

r = 7.182×10⁶ m

The height above the surface is:

h = 7.182×10⁶ m − 6.38×10⁶ m

h = 0.802×10⁶ m

h = 8.02×10⁵ m

A satellite completes one revolution of a planet in almost exactly one hour. At the end of one hour, the satellite has traveled
sesenic [268]
Velocity =

(distance between start point and end point, regardless of the route traveled) / (time spent traveling).

That distance (called the "displacement"), is 10 meters, and almost exactly 1 hour is almost exactly 3,600 seconds. So the numerical value of the velocity during that time is

(10) / (3,600) = almost exactly 0.00278 m/s

= 2.78 x 10^-3 m/s.

exis [7]
The question for this problem would be the minimum headphone delay, in ms, that will cancel this noise.
The 200 Hz. period = (1/200) = 0.005 sec. It will need to be delayed by 1/2, so 0.005/2, that is = 0.0025 sec. So converting sec to ms, will give us the delay of:Delay = 2.5 ms.

The total negative charge on the electrons in 1kg of helium (atomic number 2, molar mass 4) is____________.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

n = \frac{m}{M}

n = \frac{1000}{4}

         = 250 moles.

    N  = n×6.02×10^{23}

        = 1.505×10^{26}

Total charge = (1.505×10^{26}) × (1.6×10^{-19})

                     = 2.4×10^{7} C.
