A satellite orbiting above the earth needs no power source to keep orbiting the earth. The best explanation for this involves th

e law of inertia. Simply put the law of inertia states A) for every force on an object that object exerts an equal and opposite force back. B) a body in motion will continue in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. C) the net force equals the mass times the acceleration of and object. D) energy cannot be created or destroyed on changed forms.

The law of inertia is the second name for Newton's first law of motion, which states that B) a body in motion will continue in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.

The reason that space crafts do not need to be propelled is because there is no frictional force slowing them down as there would be on earth. This means that the craft keeps moving, according to the law of inertia.

B)

Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. This is also known as the law of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or remain in motion.Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.

A highly volatile substance has an initial mass of 1200 g and its mass is reduced by 12% each second.
Softa [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) 1.00 - 0.12 = 0.88

m = 1200(0.88)^t

b) t = ln(m/1200) / ln(0.88)

c) m = 1200(0.88)^10 = 334.20 g

d) t = ln(10/1200) / ln(0.88) = 37.451... = 37 s

e) t = ln(1/1200) / ln(0.88) = 55.463... = 55 s

How fast is the spaceship traveling towards the Sun? The radius of the orbit of Jupiter is 43.2 light-minutes, and that of the o
melisa1 [442]

Question:

A spaceship enters the solar system moving toward the Sun at a constant speed relative to the Sun. By its own clock, the time elapsed between the time it crosses the orbit of Jupiter and the time it crosses the orbit of Mars is 35.0 minutes

How fast is the spaceship traveling towards the Sun? The radius of the orbit of Jupiter is 43.2 light-minutes, and that of the orbit of Mars is 12.6 light-minutes.

Answer:

S = 5.508 × 10¹¹m

V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

The radius of the orbit of Jupiter, Rj is 43.2 light-minutes

radius of the orbit of Mars, Rm is 12.6 light-minutes

Distance travelled S = (Rj - Rm)

= 43.2 - 12.6 = 30.6 light- minutes

= 30.6 × (3 ×10⁸m/s) × 60 s

= 5.508 × 10¹¹m

time = 35mins = (35 × 60 secs)

= 2100 secs

speed = distance/time

V = 5.508 × 10¹¹m / 2100 s

V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s

An 85-kg hiker climbs to the summit of Mount Mitchell in western North Carolina. During one 2.0-h period, the climber's vertical
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system,\Delta E=4.49\times 10^5\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the hiker, m = 85 kg

Time, t = 2 h

Vertical elevation of the climber, h = 540 m

We need to find the change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system. We know that due to change in position of an object, gravitational potential energy occurs. It is given by :

\Delta E=mgh\\\\\Delta E=85\times 9.8\times 540\\\\\Delta E=4.49\times 10^5\ J

So, the change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system is 4.49\times 10^5\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

An airplane is flying at an elevation of 5150 ft, directly above a straight highway. two motorists are driving cars on the highw
docker41 [41]
Using trigonometric ratios we can get the distance;
For the first car; The distance from the point on the highway below the plane 
tan = opp/adj
tan(36°) = 5150/x
0.727 = 5150/x
0.727x = 5150
x = 7088.37
For the second car we also use tangent; the distance from the point on the highway below the plane will be; 
tan(56°) = 5150/y
1.483 = 5150/y
1.483y = 5150
y= 3473.72
The we can add the two distances to get how far apart the cars are;
7088.37 + 3473.72 = 10562.09 feet. 
= 10562.09 ft
