Name the two components that make orbital motion, and explain why objects stay in orbit.

For orbits to happen in space there need to be two forces: gravity and forward velocity. The gravity keeps the object from flying into space, while the velocity keeps the object from crashing into the planet.

Darwin is sitting on top of a 10 m tree and decided to drop a 3 kg baseball to the ground. What is the velocity when the PE turn
Nimfa-mama [501]

The AMOUNT of energy the ball has doesn't change. It's 294 joules in Darwin's hand, and it's still 294 joules when the ball hits the ground.  It's all PE before he let's it go, and it steadily changes from PE to KE all the way down.

It BEGINS to turn into KE immediately, when Darwin lets go of the ball, and it starts to fall.

More and more PE turns into KE as the ball falls, all the way down.

When the ball hits the ground, it has no more PE left. All of its mechanical energy is then KE.

How does surface area affect the amount of air resistance an object experiences?
Ymorist [56]
The greater the cross-sectional area of an object, the greater the amount of air resistance it encounters since it collides with more air molecules. ... It will have to accelerate for a longer period of time before there is enough upward air resistance to balance the downward force of gravity.

Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together?
slava [35]
A. Is very attractive. If it's sublimation directly from water vapor in the air to ice on the glass, then yes. But from liquid water mist to water ice, no. Ice is less dense than water. That's why cubes float in your soda. Better leave 'A' alone. . . . D. Ice pellets turn to liquid. That one's good.
