Hello!

When objects are heated, their molecules tend to vibrate fast. As they vibrate, the space between each atom increases. This keeps on happening, and the object expands until it has cooled down.

Hope this helps! :)

The orbital period of a satellite is
u=GM
p = sqrt((4*pi/u)*a^3)
Where
p = period
u = standard gravitational parameter which is GM (gravitational constant multiplied by planet mass). This is a much better figure to use than GM because we know u to a higher level of precision than we know either G or M. After all, we can calculate it from observations of satellites. To illustrate the difference, we know GM for Mars to within 7 significant figures. However, we only know G to within 4 digits.
a = semi-major axis of orbit.
Since we haven't been given u, but instead have been given the much more inferior value of M, let's calculate u from the gravitational constant and M. So
u = 6.674x10^-11 m^3/(kg s^2) * 6.485x10^23 kg = 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2
The semi-major axis of the orbit is the altitude of the satellite plus the radius of the planet. So
150000 m + 3.396x10^6 m = 3.546x10^6 m
Substitute the known values into the equation for the period. So
p = sqrt((4 * pi / u) * a^3)
p = sqrt((4 * 3.14159 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * (3.546x10^6 m)^3)
p = sqrt((12.56636 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * 4.458782x10^19 m^3)
p = sqrt(2.9034357x10^-13 s^2/m^3 * 4.458782x10^19 m^3)
p = sqrt(1.2945785x10^7 s^2)
p = 3598.025212 s
Rounding to 4 significant figures, gives us 3598 seconds.</span>
The heat energy released from a piece of wire or any other section of a circuit is:
Energy = (voltage between its ends) x (current through it) x (time it's been going)
