Why don't satellites in orbit fly into space?

Chemistry

This is a question similar to one wrestled with by Newton himself, who didn't understand why the planets didn't fall into each other. The reason satellites don't fly into space is because they are being pulled towards the planet by the planet's gravity.

Explain why scientists find the particulate matter of theory useful
BARSIC [14]

This idea has historical significance. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (born 460 BCE), who held that everything is composed of small particles moving in empty space, is credited with developing the first hypothesis we have about the microscopic universe. He had some concrete proof for this, such the fact that items like a new loaf of bread or a rose may give off a scent even when they are far from the source. Being a materialist, he thought that these odors originated from actual material particles released by the bread or the rose, rather than being purely a type of magic. He reasoned that these particles must float through the air, with some of them maybe landing in your nose where you can smell them immediately. This still makes sense in modern times. But many of us now have quite different perspectives on these "particles."

Thank you,

Eddie

what mass of carbon dioxide gas would be produced if 10g of calcium carbonate reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid?
LuckyWell [14K]
Answer is: 4,4 grams <span>of carbon dioxide gas would be produced.
</span>Chemical reaction: CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O.
m(CaCO₃) = 10 g.
n(CaCO₃) = 10 g ÷ 100 g/mol.
n(CaCO₃) = 0,1 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(CaCO₃) : n(CO₂) = 1 : 1.
n(CO₂) = 0,1 mol.
m(CO₂) = n(CO₂) · M(CO₂).
m(CO₂) = 0,1 mol· 44 g/mol.
m(CO₂) = 4,4 g.
