Communication satellites are placed in a geosynchronous orbit, i. e., in a circular orbit such that they complete one full revolution about the earth in one sidereal day (23.934 h), and thus appear stationary with respect to the ground. Determine the altitude of these satellites above the surface of the earth in both SI and U. S. customary units.

In a wind tunnel the speed changes as the cross sectional area of the tunnel changes. if the speed in a 6' x 6' square test section is 100 mph, what was the speed upstream of the test section where the tunnel measured 20' x 20'? use conservation of mass and assume incompressible flow. conservation of mass requires that as the flow moves through a path or a duct the product of the density, velocity and cross sectional area must remain constant; i.e., that ova-constant. a model is being tested in a wind tunnel at a speed of 100 mph if the flow in the test section is at sea level standard conditions, what is the pressure at the model's stagnation point? (a) the tunnel speed is being measured by a pitot-static tube connected to a u- tube manometer. what is the reading on that manometer in inches of water? (b) at one point on the model a pressure of 2058 psf is measured. what is the local airspeed at that point?

Initially, a particle is moving at 5.33 m/s at an angle of 37.9° above the horizontal. two seconds later, its velocity is 6.11 m/s at an angle of 54.2° below the horizontal. what was the particle's average acceleration during these 2.00 seconds in the x-direction (enter first) and the y-direction?

Two vectors are shown. which statement best compares the vectors? vector x has greater magnitude than vector y. vector y has greater magnitude than vector x. the vectors have the same displacement. the vectors have the same direction.
