Question: Starting with the definition 1 in. = 2.54 cm, find the number of (a) kilometers in 1.00 mile and (b) feet in 1.00 km.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)1 mile is equivalent to 1.609 km.

(b)1 feet is equivalent to 0.3048 km.

Step by step solution

01

Different units of distance

Here, Inch, Kilometer, mile and feet all are the units which belong to distance, but the standard unit of distance ismeter.

Here is some conversion between the units.

1鈥塳尘=1000鈥尘1鈥尘ile=1.609鈥塳尘1鈥塳尘=3280.84鈥塮别别迟

02

Conversion of mile into kilometer

1 mile is defined as measurement of 1.609 km.

A mile is a unit of measurement that equals 5,280 feet or 1.609344 kilometres.

It's a frequent way to compare distances between locations in the United States and the United Kingdom.

03

Conversion of kilometer into feet

As per the conversion 1 km is also called as 3280.84 feet. 1 Feet can be defined as the 0.3048 meters according to SI unit.

Hence it can be said that 1 mile is defined as measurement of 1.609 km. The conversion 1 km is also called as 3280.84 feet.

Consider a spacecraft in an elliptical orbit around the earth. At the low point, or perigee, of its orbit, it is 400 km above the earth鈥檚 surface; at the high point, or apogee, it is 4000 km above the earth鈥檚 surface. (a) What is the period of the spacecraft鈥檚 orbit? (b) Using conservation of angular momentum, find the ratio of the spacecraft鈥檚 speed at perigee to its speed at apogee. (c) Using conservation of energy, find the speed at perigee and the speed at apogee. (d) It is necessary to have the spacecraft escape from the earth completely. If the spacecraft鈥檚 rockets are fired at perigee, by how much would the speed have to be increased to achieve this? What if the rockets were fired at apogee? Which point in the orbit is more efficient to use?.
