A satellite is orbiting Earth in an approximately circular path. It completes one revolution each day (86,400 seconds). Its orbi

Well, speed is always relative to some reference, and you haven't
specified the reference.  Also, you haven't specified the "tilt" of the
satellite's orbit relative to the Earth's equator.

So I'm going to pick the ones I like for both items:

-- For the satellite's average speed, I choose the reference
to be the center of the little satellite-TV dish on the corner of
my neighbor's garage roof.

-- For the satellite's orbital inclination, I choose zero.  That is,
the satellite's orbit is directly over Earth's equator. 

If you'll allow me those two assumptions, then your bird is
a communications satellite, located at the magic latitude
and distance from Earth where its orbital revolution matches
the Earth's rotation.  Viewed from anywhere on Earth, the
satellite's average speed is zero, and it appears to hang
motionless in the sky.

How much force is needed to keep the 750000 Newton Space Shuttle moving at a constant speed of 28000 km/h, in a straight line?
Alika [10]

The force needed to keep the space shuttle moving at constant speed is 0.

The given parameters;

  • <em>weight of the space shuttle, F = 750,000 N</em>
  • <em>constant speed of the space shuttle, v = 28,000 km/h</em>

The mass of the space shuttle is calculated as follows;

W = mg\\\\m = \frac{W}{g} \\\\m = \frac{750,000}{9.8} \\\\m = 76,530.61 \ kg

The force needed to keep the space shuttle moving at constant speed is calculated as follows;

F = ma

F = 76,530.61 \times a

where;

a is the acceleration of the space shuttle

At a constant speed, acceleration is zero.

F = 76,530.61 x 0

F = 0

Thus, the force needed to keep the space shuttle moving at constant speed is 0.

When a positive charge moves in the direction of the electric field, what happens to the electrical potential energy associated
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

B it decreases

Explanation:

the movement of a positive test charge in the direction of an electric field would be like a mass falling downward within Earth's gravitational field. Both movements would be like going with nature and would occur without the need of work by an external force. This motion would result in the loss of potential energy
