The altitude of a hang glider is increasing at a rate of 6.55 m/s. at the same time, the shadow of the glider moves along the ground at a speed of 15.5 m/s when the sun is directly overhead. find the magnitude of the glider's velocity.

Suppose you increase your walking speed from 7 m/s to 13 m/s in a period of 2 s. what is your acceleration?

What happens to an isotope during radioactive decay?

To place a communications satellite into a geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 22,240 mi above the surface of the earth, the satellite first is released from a space shuttle , which is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 185 mi, and then is propelled by an upper-stage booster to its final altitude. as the satellite passes through a, the booster's motor is fired to insert the satellite into an elliptic transfer orbit. the booster is again fired at b to insert the satellite into a geosynchronous orbit. knowing that the second firing increases the speed of the satellite by 4810ft/s, determine (a.) the speed of the satellite as it approaches b on the elliptic transfer orbit, (b.) the increase in speed resulting from the first firing at a.
