Which force diagram accurately represents a satellite in orbit around Earth?

Physics
2 answers:
Anit [1.1K]3 years ago

Answer:

First choice

Explanation:

A satellite in orbit around Earth experiences only one force: the gravitational attraction exerted by the Earth on it. This force is labelled with F_g. In space, there are no other forces acting on the satellite.

The force of gravity acts as centripetal force, "pulling" the satellite towards the centre of its circular orbit. The inertia of the satellite (which has an initial velocity) tends to keep it moving straight, so the combination of these two effects (inertia and force of gravity) results into the circular motion of the satellite.

You push a 28kg wheelbarrow forward at a constant velocity with 600 N of force. How much is friction pushing backwards?
AlladinOne [14]

F = applied force on the wheelbarrow in forward direction = 600 N

f = frictional force pushing in backward direction of wheelbarrow = ?

m = mass of the wheelbarrow = 28 kg

Since wheelbarrow moves forward at a constant velocity

a = acceleration of the wheelbarrow in forward direction = 0 m/s²

force equation for the motion of wheelbarrow in forward direction is given as

F - f = ma

inserting the above values in the formula

600 - f = (28) (0)

600 - f = 0

f = 600 N

hence the frictional force comes out to be 600 N

Sound travels about 750 miles per hour. if you stand in a canyon and sound a horn, you will hear an echo. suppose it takes about
diamong [38]
The answer to this question would be:3850ft

To answer this question, you need to convert the speed velocity from miles/hour into feet/second. The equation would be: 750 miles/hour x 5280 foot/mile x 1 hour/3600second = 1100 ft/s
Then multiply the time with the velocity= 3.5 second x 1100 ft/s= 3850ft

The head of a rattlesnake can accelerate at 49 m/s2 in striking a victim. If a car could do as well, how long would it take to r
Anettt [7]
<h2>Time taken is 0.459 seconds</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v = u + at

     Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

     Final velocity, v = 81 km/hr = 22.5 m/s    

     Time, t = ?

     Acceleration, a = 49 m/s²

     Substituting

                      v = u + at  

                      22.5 = 0 + 49 x t

                      t = 0.459 seconds

   Time taken is 0.459 seconds
