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".

A flashlight bulb with a 6.00 resistor uses 18.0W of power. What is the current through the bulb
devlian [24]

We need voltage first

  • P=V²/R
  • V²=PR
  • V²=18(6)
  • V²=108
  • V=√108
  • V=10.4V

Apply oHMS law

  • V/I=R
  • I=V/R
  • I=10.4/6
  • I=1.73A

_________ is a change in the position of a body with respect to time relative to a reference point.
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Rest

Explanation:

Rest is a change in the position of a body with respect to time relative to a reference point. The stationary state of an object or body relative to a reference position or another object is called Rest.

Taking Newton's First Law of motion into consideration, an object will remain in its state of rest or uniform motion until acted upon by an external force. This implies an object at rest is an object with zero (without) velocity and acceleration.
