One way of lifting a satellite into geosynchronous orbit is to use the space shuttle to lift it into a circular, low Earth orbit (w/ h = 300 km above the Earth's surface), and then use a booster rocket to place the satellite on a Hohmann transfer orbit up to a circular geosynchronous orbit.
a) What is the orbital velocity of the satellite while it is still in low Earth orbit?
b) What is the orbital velocity at pericenter of the appropriate Hohmann transfer orbit?
c) What is the orbital velocity at apocenter of the Hohmann transfer orbit?
d) How long does it take the satellite to travel from the low-Earth orbit to the geosynchronous orbit?

The lights used by mark watley (played by matt damon) during the film the martian seem to be metal halide lamps. metal halide lamps are filled with vaporized mercury and metal-halogen compounds. when an electric current is passed through the lamp, the tube begins to glow a bright white/blue color. if you were to pass this light through a prism to separate the individual light frequencies, you would see a rainbow just as you would if using natural sunlight because of the complexity of the metal halide gas and the vast amount of possible electron transitions. (the study of light in this way is known as spectroscopy and allows astronomers to know exactly what atoms compose distant stars, simply by looking at the light they emit. the spectral lines an atom produces uniquely identifies that atom just like a fingerprint uniquely identifies a person. the momentum equation and energy equation that we have used above can be combined to give the following equation: c = e p where again p is the phonon momentum, e is the photon energy and c is the speed of light. when you divide the photon energy found in #6 by the photon momentum found in #4, do you get the speed of light? (if not, check your work for questions #4 through #6). yes no

Will give brainliest! which statement best describes the similarities between fundamental forces? electromagnetic and strong nuclear forces influence the interaction between charged particles within an atom. gravitational and magnetic forces are both types of charges that occur in nature. nuclear and magnetic forces are both related to mass and weight. strong nuclear force is most like electrical force because they are both related to distance.

Aturntable a is built into a stage for use in a theatrical production. it is observed during a rehearsal that a trunk b starts to slide on the turntable 10 s after the turntable begins to rotate. knowing that the trunk undergoes a constant tangential acceleration of 0.31 m/s2, determine the coefficient of static friction between the trunk and the turntable.
