You're at Gravitional Force! I got this question on my test last year. Hold on

A satellite is any body orbiting that is moving around the sun. Since the body is moving it is accelerating with a constant velocity. According to Newton's 2nd law of motion "An object which experiences an acceleration must also be experiencing a net force. The direction of the net force is in the same direction as the acceleration."

A satellite that is moving along a circular must have force acting on it or it will move on in a straight line. This force is perpendicular to the motion of the circle that us towards the motion. [Newton's 1st law- the law of inertia].


The presence of an unbalanced force is required for objects to move in circles. As well as acceleration and resultant force

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

I am pretty sure that the answer would be a peer reviewed article.

Explanation:

I saw this because, an encyclopedia, published scientific journal, and a lab journal used in the original experiment, are all reliable sources of information.

A large reduction in the current account deficit will place ____ pressure on the home currency value, other things being equal.
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Upward.

Explanation:

A large reduction in the current account deficit will place Upward pressure on the home currency value, other things being equal.

When their currency's value decreases, this means the valuation of foreign assets are rising. This further decreases the deficit in the current account. Additionally, a reduced currency value tends to increase export markets when prices become more cutthroat. Export demand falls as prices rise with inflation setting in.

A competitive go-cart driver is traveling 32 m/s. He sees a caution flag go up, so he slows at a rate of -1.5 m/s^2 in 10.8 s. W
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

15.8 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 32 m/s.

Acceleration (a) = – 1.5 m/s²

Time (t) = 10.8 s.

Final velocity (v) =?

Acceleration is simply defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Acceleration (a) = [final velocity (v) – initial velocity (u)] / time (t)

a = (v – u) /t

With the above formula, we can obtain the final velocity of go-cart driver as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 32 m/s.

Acceleration (a) = – 1.5 m/s²

Time (t) = 10.8 s.

Final velocity (v) =?

a = (v – u) /t

– 1.5 = (v – 32) / 10.8

Cross multiply

(v – 32) = –1.5 × 10.8

v – 32 = – 16.2

Collect like terms

v = – 16.2 + 32

v = 15.8 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of go-cart driver is 15.8 m/s.
