Communications satellites are placed in a circular orbit where they stay directly over a fixed point on the equator as the earth rotates. These are called geosynchronous orbits. The radius of the earth is 6.37×10^6m, and the altitude of a geosynchronous orbit is 3.58×10^7m( ≈≈22000 miles).

a. What is the speed of a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit?
b. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit?

High schoolphysics 5+3 pts a neon light consists of a glass tube with metal wires at each end. when connected to a high-voltage source, the gas glows. if a fly lands on the glass tube, what will most likely happen? a) the fly will not feel a shock because the glass conducts any free electrons back into the gas. b) electrons will flow directly from the metal wires along the glass and shock the fly. c) the fly will not feel a shock because the glass insulates it from the electrons in the gas and the metal. d) electrons that are moving through the gas will be conducted through the glass and shock the fly.

Ahair dryer is basically a duct in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. a small fan pulls the air in and forces it through the resistors where it is heated. air enters a 1200 w hair dryer at 100 kpa and 22°c and leaves at 47°c. the cross-sectional area of the hair dryer at the exit is 60 cm2. neglecting the power consumed by the fan and the heat losses through the walls of the hair dryer, determine (a) the volume flow rate of air at the inlet and (b) the velocity of the air at the exit.

Ahole in the ground in the shape of an inverted cone is 14 meters deep and has radius at the top of 11 meters. the cone is filled to the top with sawdust. the density of the sawdust depends upon the depth, x, following the formula ρ ( x ) = 2.5 + 1.2 e − 0.7 x kg/m3. find the total mass of sawdust in the conical hole.
