Which of Newton's laws explains why satellites need very little fuel to stay in oribit?

Sattelites don't need any fuel to stay in orbit. The applicable law is...."objects in motion tend to stay in motion". Having reached orbital velocity, any such object is essentially "falling" around the earth. Since there is no (or at least very little) friction in the vacuum of space, the object does not slow.... It simply continues.


Sattelites in "low" earth orbit do encounter some friction from the very thin upper atmosphere, and they will eventually "decay".

In diving to a depth of 248 m, an elephant seal also moves 296 m due east of his starting point. What is the magnitude of the se
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The displacement is 386.16m

Explanation:

A seal dives to a depth of 248m. To find displacement, we must calculate the resultant vectors which will give us the displacement

R= sqrt(vector1+vector2)

Since this is a right angle triangle

R= sqrt(248^2 + 296^2)

R= sqrt(149120)

R= 386.16m

Displacement = 386.16m

Answer:

Same, the electric fields point in opposite directions and therefore cancel at some midpoint.

Explanation:

The Electric field net at some point between them is zero, only if they point in opposite direction (they cancel to the each other). In order the electric fields  have opposite direction, at some point between the bees , the bees must have the same sign of electric charge

Leni [432]

(c) When the two pulses completely overlap on the string forms a straight line.

A single disturbance that travels via a transmission medium is referred to as a pulse. This medium might be formed of stuff or a vacuum, and it might be endlessly large or finite in size.

Consider two pulses that are identical in shape and proceed in opposite directions along a string, with the exception that one has positive displacements of the string's elements while the other has negative displacements.

On the string, the two pulses blend together completely.

The pulses completely balance one another out in terms of removing string elements from equilibrium, yet the string still moves. Shortly after the string is once again shifted, the pulses will have passed each other.

The correct option is (c)
