Asatellite of mass 5000 kg orbits the earth (mass = 6.0 x 1024 kg) and has a period of 6000 s. in the above problem the altitude of the satellite above the earth's surface is

altitude of satellite from earth surface is 7140 km

Explanation:

given data:

mass of satellite = 5000kg

altitude of satellite from earth surface can be calculated by using given relation

where,

p -  satellite's period in seconds,

a - satellite's altitude in meters,

G - gravitational constant (6.67 x 10^-11 m³/kgs²) and

M -  mass of Earth 5.98 x 10^24 kg

solving for altitude we have

a = 7,138,000 meters = 7,140 km

altitude of satellite from earth surface is 7140 km

nah.   i'm just sleepy.

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
