Answer:

Explanation:

When a satellite is orbiting the earth , a constant force is being applied on it which means it must has acceleration. Also the direction of satellite is always being changed when it is orbitting to there is always change in the velocity vector which means acceleration.

You can view in the attached diagram to understand how the velocity is being changed.

Julli [10]

Answer:

Apply Newton's second law in the moving direction.

Explanation:

$\begin{aligned}F &= ma\\5N-2N &= 25kg\times a\\a & = \frac{3N}{25kg}\\&= 0.12ms^{-2}\end{aligned}$

Friction force applies in the opposite direction of motion; as a restriction.

a bends each wavelength of white light slightly differently so that each wavelength color comes out separated forming a rainbow

lianna [129]

The answer here is prism. The light passing through prism experiences bending of its multiple wavelength composition which allows it to visibly shows the difference in each of the light's color wavelength, violet bending the most while the least is the color red.

a horse runs with an initial velocity of 11m/s and slows to 5.2 m/s over a time interval of 3.1 s what is the horse's average ac

Katarina [22]

Answer:

a = change in v / change in time

= (5.2 - 11) / 3.1

= -1.87 m/s^2

Adam uses a fixed pulley, such as the one shown below, to lift an object. Adam applies an input force to the pulley as he pulls

stira [4]

When Adam applies a ‘pull’ force on the pulley, there is an output force that the pulley lets out, directly pulling the object with it. We cannot always pull up objects with our bear hands, no matter how much force we apply. Which is why pulleys allow us to apply the force and pulleys do the work of pulling the objects for us, since work and force come hand in hand.

Mike is a runner. Mike runs 200m in 25s; what is his average velocity during the run? assume that units are in m/s. (asap, will

maw [93]

Velocity is displacement/time
(Displacement is the overall change in distance)

So you’ll want to divide 200 by 25, which should give you:

8 m/s
