Acceleration = V^2/r = 18^2/ 30 = 10.8 m/s^2

Well, first of all, 18 m/s is the object's speed, but not its velocity.
Velocity consists of the object's speed AND direction, and this
particular object's direction is constantly changing, since it's
moving around a circle.  So its velocity is constantly changing too.

Centripetal acceleration  =  (speed)² / (radius)

                                           =  (18 m/s)² / (30 m)

                                           = (324 m²/s²) / (30 m)

                                           =       10.8 m/s²

                                       (about  1.1 G)

Two friends are having a conversation. Anna says a satellite in orbit is in freefall because the satellite keeps falling toward
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Anna is correct.

Explanation:

Anna is right as a satellite is in free fall because it keeps falling toward Earth, meaning that gravity is the only force acting on it. Tom is incorrect because an object does not have to accelerate at a certain speed to be considered to be in free fall. As long as gravity is the only force acting upon the object, it is considered to be in free fall.

Why is it harder pushing a car than pushing a bike?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

When inertia increases, it's because the mass increased, which increases the normal force, which ultimately increases friction.
