As the satellite panels extend, the angular velocity decreases due to drag force, and hence it will cause a decrease in the angular momentum of the satellite.

<h3>What is angular momentum?</h3>

Angular momentum is defined as the quantity of rotation of a body, which is the product of  mass, velocity and radius.

L = mvr

L = mωr²

where;

  • m is mass of the object
  • v is velocity
  • r is radius
  • ω is angular velocity

As the satellite panels extend, the angular velocity decreases due to drag force, and hence it will cause a decrease in the angular momentum of the satellite.

A 7.0kg object rests on a horizontal frictionless surface. What is the magnitude of the horizontal
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

16.1 N

Explanation:

From the question,

F = ma.............................. Equation 1

Where F = horizontal force, m = mass of the object, a = acceleration .

Given: m = 7.0 kg, a = 2.3 m/s²

Substitute this values into equation 1

F = (7.0×2.3)

F = 16.1 N.

Hence the magnitude of the horizontal force is 16.1 N

A person kicks a 4.0-kilogram door with a 48-newton force causing the door to accelerate at 12 meters per second squared. What i
inna [77]

Answer:

-48 N

Explanation:

mass of door (m) = 4 kg

acceleration of the door = 12 m/s^{2}

force exerted by the person = 48 N

From Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal but opposite. Therefore the force exerted on the door by the person which is 48 N will be the same as the force exerted on the person by the door but opposite in its direction, and this would be - 48 N
