Answer:

Gravity is the only force acting on a satellite.

Circular orbits result from the interaction between gravity and inertia.

Gravity provides the centripetal force for satellites.

Satellites are in free fall around Earth or other central objects.

Explanation:

Due to gravity, which acts as a centripetal force, the satellite remains in orbit, otherwise the straight motion generated by inertia would take it out of course. If the satellite moves very fast, it will leave the orbit towards the depths of space. On the other hand, if it moves very slowly, gravity will bring it directly to Earth. When the balance between gravity and inertia is achieved, the satellite is still in free fall, but at a very small rate.

Sound is a type of _____ wave.

saul85 [17]

Sound is an example of a mechanical wave. Mechanical waves are the kinds of waves that cannot be propagated without a medium. As such, these waves cannot travel through a vacuum, just like how sound cannot travel through space, since space is a vacuum.

o-na [289]

Answer:

Volume of gasoline overflow(v)= 40/9 L (I.e. 4.44 L)

Explanation:

Use v1/T1=v2/T2

.....overflow(V)=v2-v1

Note; Take temperature in absolute scale or kelvin scale

Why do you not come to thermal equilibrium on a cold day

Tju [1.3M]

Two physical systems are in thermal equilibrium if no heat flows between them when they are connected by a path permeable to heat. Thermal equilibrium obeys the zeroth law of thermodynamics. A system is said to be in thermal equilibrium with itself if the temperature within the system is spatially and temporally uniform.

Systems in thermodynamic equilibrium are always in thermal equilibrium, but the converse is not always true. If the connection between the systems allows transfer of energy as heat but does not allow transfer of matter or transfer of energy as work, the two systems may reach thermal equilibrium without reaching thermodynamic equilibrium.
