6. a satellite is orbiting earth just above its surface. the centripetal force making the satellite follow a circular trajectory is just its weight, so its centripetal acceleration is about 9.8 m/s2 (the acceleration due to gravity near earth’s surface). if earth’s radius is about 6375 km, how fast must the satellite be moving? how long will it take for the satellite to complete one trip around earth?

Ateam of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. in addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. with what minimum initial speed vesc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density p 3.84 x108 g/m3 and volume v 2.17 x 1012 m3 recall that the universal gravitational constant is g 6.67 x 10-11 n m2/kg2

Gather reliable information to brent make his decision. to gather this information, use newspapers, call insurance companies or look at their web sites, and review consumer magazines and web sites. also, look at the manufacturer web site or for information about gas mileage. list the sources you use and take notes.

The weights of bags filled by a machine are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.05 kilograms and a mean that can be set by the operator. at what level should the mean weight be set if it required that only 1% of the bags weigh less than 9.5 kilograms? round the answer to 2 decimal places.
