Answer:
Explanation:
Given Data:
Numbers of times Telescope cycled around the earth in 6 years=37,000 times
Total Distance traveled in 6 years by the Hubble Space Telescope=1,280,000,000 Km
Find:
Kilometers in one Orbit=?
Solution:
Kilometers in 37,000 Orbits=1,280,000,000 Km
Kilometers in 1 Orbit=1,280,000,000/37,000
In Scientific Notation:
Kilometers in 1 Orbit=34594.594 Km
Kilometers in 1 Orbit in Scientific notation:
Answer:
Same direction: t=234s; d=6.175Km
Opposite direction: t=27.53s; d=0.73Km
Explanation:
If the automobile and the train are traveling in the same direction, then the automobile speed relative to the train will be (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a lower speed</em>), where is the speed of the automobile and the speed of the train.
So we have .
So the train (<em>anyone in fact</em>) will watch the automobile trying to cover the lenght of the train L at that relative speed. The time required to do this will be:
And in that time the car would have traveled (<em>relative to the ground</em>):
If they are traveling in opposite directions, <u>we have to do all the same</u> but using (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a faster speed</em>), so repeating the process:
To answer these questions just use the equations for potential energy using the mass and heights described. the potential energy at the prescribed heights = the initial kinetic energy required to reach that height.
Make sure you calculate the force of gravity on the surface using the radius of the planet.
