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

Answer:

-8.04 m/s2

Explanation:

To find the answer to this, you have to use the 4th kinematic equation:

$v^{2} = v^{2}_{0} + 2ax$

You plug into the equation to get:

$0 = 15^{2} + 2a(14)$

solve for a to get

-8.04 m/s2

Answer:

Cools ; size

Explanation:

The rate at which magma cools determines the size of the crystals in the new rock. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten magma which finds its way to the surface or depth of very low pressure beneath the surface. This place or depth of cooling of magma affects the cooling rate and hence the size of the crystals formed. Igneous rocks formed at depths below the surface have more time to cool and allows more time for Crystal growth and hence produce coarse grained crystal grains called Intrusive igneous rocks which have significantly larger crystals than those formed on the surface which cools rapidly and allowing very little time for crystal growth giving rise to the formation of fine grained crystals and are called extrusive igneous rocks.
