A satellite is launched to orbit the Earth at an altitude of 2.90 x10^7 m for use in the Global Positioning System (GPS). Take the mass of the Earth to be 5.97 x 10^24 kg and its radius 6.38 x10^6 m. Required:
What is the orbital period of this GPS satellite?

Carbon is allowed to diffuse through a steel plate 15 mm thick. the concentrations of carbon at the two faces are 0.65 and 0.30 kg c/m^3 fe, which are maintained constant. if the preexponential and activation energy are 6.2 x 10-7 m2 /s and 80,000 j/mol, respectively, compute the temperature at which the diffusion flux is 1.43 x 10^-9 kg/m^2 -s.

Although longitudinal waves can travel through all media types what is the disadvantage of this type of wave transmission? a) he efficiency of he wave transmission is greatly diminished as the media becomes less dense b) the oscillation of one set of particles has a huge impact on neighboring particles c) particles become too close together as they bump into each other making it more likely to hit other particles down the line

A100-watt light bulb illuminates a solar cell. the electricity from the solar cell operates a water pump that delivers 1 watt of power. what is the efficiency of the system?
