The speed of the second satellite is less than the speed of the first satellite.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The speed of any moving object is the ratio of the distance covered and the time taken to cover that distance.

Given is a satellite is in a circular orbit around a planet. A second satellite is placed in a different circular orbit that is farther away from the same planet.

When the distance from the center of the orbit increases, the time to complete the orbit will be greater.

Thus, the speed of the second satellite is less than the speed of the first satellite.

The International Space Station (ISS) orbits Earth at an altitude of 4.08 × 105 m above the surface of the planet. At what veloc
alukav5142 [94]

This question involves the concepts of orbital velocity and orbital radius.

The orbital velocity of ISS must be "7660.25 m/s".

The orbital velocity of the ISS can be given by the following formula:

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}

where,

v = orbital velocity = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

M = Mass of Earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

R = orbital radius = radius of earth + altitude = 63.78 x 10⁵ m + 4.08 x 10⁵ m

R = 67.86 x 10⁵ m

Therefore,

v=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ N.m^2/kg^2)(5.97\ x\ 10^{24}\ kg)}{67.86\ x\ 10^5\ m}}

<u>v = 7660.25 m/s</u>

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

2874.33 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-0^2}{2\times h}\\\Rightarrow v^2=2ah\ m/s

Now H-h = 0.588 - 0.002 = 0.586 m

The final velocity will be the initial velocity

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow 0^2-u^2=2gs\\\Rightarrow -2ah=2\times g(H-h)\\\Rightarrow -2a0.002=2\times g0.586\\\Rightarrow a=-\frac{0.586\times -9.81}{0.002}\\\Rightarrow a=2874.33\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the frog is 2874.33 m/s²

Where does pressure come from?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

It is made up of molecules which are pulled down to Earth by gravity. That pull makes molecules bump into each other, exerting pressure. Our bodies are specially adapted to living under 1 kilogram per square centimeter (14.7 pounds per square inch) of pressure pushing down on us at sea level!
