Vc = sqrt(µ/r) V(A)^2 = µ/r(A) V(B)^2 = µ/r(B) = µ/2r(A) V(B)^2/(2/V(A)^2 = [µ/2r(A)]/[µr(A)] .................= 2 V(B)/V(A) = sqrt2

Considering all rectangles with the same perimeter, the square encloses the greatest area. Proof: Consider a square of dimensions x by x, the area of which is x^2. Adjusting the dimensions by adding a to one side and subtracting a from the other side results in an area of (x +...

From Vc = sqrt(µ/r) where Vc = the velocity of an orbiting body, µ = the gravitational constant of the earth and r the radius of the circular orbit,with µ = GM, G = the universal gravitational constant and M = the mass of the central body, the earth in this i...

The formula for calculating a monthly loan payment is R = Pi/[1 - 1/(1+i)^n] where R = the periodic payment, P = the principal, or debt to be paid off, n = the number of payment periods over which the payments will take place, and i = the periodic interest rate in decimal form...

The velocity required to maintain a circular orbit around the Earth may be computed from the following: Vc = sqrt(µ/r) where Vc is the circular orbital velocity in feet per second, µ (pronounced meuw as opposed to meow) is the gravitational constant of the earth, ...

Letting x, y, and z equal the numbers of .02, .08 and .14 cent stamps. 1-x = 2y + 5 2-z = 3y 3-.02x + .o8y + .14z = 2.26 4-Times 100 yields 2x + 8y + 14z = 226 5-Substituting (1) and (2) into (4) yields ..2(y + 5) + 8y + 14(3y) 6-Can you take it from here?

The Law of Universal Gravitation states that each particle of matter attracts every other particle of matter with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Expressed mathematical...

Addendum to my earlier response. A reduction in velocity of only 1.5m/sec. will drop the space shuttle into an ever so slightly elliptical orbit with an apogee of 6828km, a perigee of 6825.6km. and a period of 5611.86 sec. or 93.53min., allowing the shuttle to catch up with th...
