How does centripetal force act on a satellite in orbit?

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

What is the minimum uncertainty in the vertical component of the momentum of each photon in the beam after the photon has passed
RoseWind [281]
<h3><u>Minimum uncertainty in the vertical component of the momentum of each photon:</u></h3>

According to Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle, both the “position and velocity of the particle” cannot be measured exactly at the same time. The momentum of the particle equals the product of its mass and velocity. And it can be inferred that the “product of the uncertainties” in the “momentum and the position” of a particle equals \frac{h}{4 \pi}.  

Immediately after the photon has passed through the slit, given particle has a momentum uncertainty of \Delta P_{x} and its position uncertainty is \Delta x, then the minimum uncertainty in its momentum will be

\Delta P_{x} . \Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi}

An object is located 25.0 cm from a convex mirror. The image distance is -50.0 cm. What is the magnification?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Magnification \ (m) = 2}

Given:

Object distance (u) = 25.0 cm

Image distance (v) = -50.0 cm

To Find:

Magnification (m)

Explanation:

\boxed{\bold{\sf Magnification  \: (m) = - \frac{Image  \: distance  \: (v)}{Object  \: distance  \: (u)}}}

Substituting values of Image distance(v) & Object distance (u) in the equation:

\sf \implies m =  -  \frac{( - 50)}{25}

-(-50) = 50:

\sf \implies m =  \frac{50}{25}

\sf \implies m =  \frac{2 \times  \cancel{25}}{ \cancel{25}}

\sf \implies m = 2

A car was traveling at a velocity of 8 m/s and then accelerated at a rate of 5 m/sr^2, reaching a velocity of 85 m/s. How far di
juin [17]

Answer:

716.1 m

Explanation:

A car was travelling at a velocity of 8m/s

It accelerated at 5m/s^2

It finally reached a velocity of 85m/s

The distance can be calculated by applying the fourth equation of motion

V^2= U^2 +2as

V= 85m/s

U= 8m/s

a= 5m/s^2

85^2= 8^2 + 2(5)(s)

7225= 64 + 10s

7225-64= 10s

7161=10s

s= 7161/10

= 716.1 m

Hence the car travelled at a distance of 716.1 m
