If a shuttle is orbiting a planet at a distance of 40 miles from the center of the planet, and is traveling at a rate of 500 miles per hour, how long to the nearest minute will it take to complete one full orbit?

Time taken, t = 30.15 minutes

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance from the center of planet, r = 40 miles

Speed of the shuttle, v = 500 miles per hour

Let t is the time taken by it to complete  one full orbit. The displacement of the shuttle is,

d = 251.32 miles

Now time can be calculated using the expression for the velocity as :

t = 0.50264 hours

or

t = 30.15 minutes

So, the shuttle will take 30.15 minutes to complete one full orbit. Hence, this is the required solution.

the answer is ampere

the ampere is used to measure electricity. an ampere is a unit of electric current equal. a unit of measure for the flow of current in a circuit. one ampere is the amount of current flow provided when one volt of electrical pressure is applied against one ohm of resistance.

the answer is 100. i just did this lesson and got a 100% on it. : )
