In order to place a satellite into orbit, it requires enough fuel to supply the necessary mechanical energy. Into what types of

mechanical energy does the fuel get transformed?

When a satellite is revolving into the orbit around a planet then we can say

net centripetal force on the satellite is due to gravitational attraction force of the planet, so we will have

F_g = F_c

\frac{GM_pM_s}{r^2} = \frac{M_s v^2}{r}

now we can say that kinetic energy of satellite is  given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}M_s v^2

KE = \frac{GM_sM_p}{2r}

also we know that since satellite is in gravitational field of the planet so here it must have some gravitational potential energy in it

so we will have

U = -\frac{GM_sM_p}{r}

so we can say that energy from the fuel is converted into kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy of the satellite

Water holds in heat very well. Keep the temperature more steady and average. The areas around the water will also have a less variant change in temperature as a result. This property of water is known as high specific heat.

when energy is transferred from one part of a system to another, some of the energy is lost during the transfer and cannot be us
AlladinOne [14]

Sentences A and D describe examples of energy transformation.Heat is produced when a car's tires rub against the pavement and as electricity passes across power wires, they become hotter.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of energy?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of energy, the energy of an isolated system stays unchanged throughout time.it is said to be conserved.

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed and can be transferred from one form to the other form.

The complete question is

"When energy is moved from one component of a system to another, some of the energy is lost and cannot be used as planned.

Which two statements provide examples?

A. Friction between a car's tires and the road produces heat.

B. Sunlight strikes a solar panel, generating electricity.

c. Stereo speakers emit a sound when powered by electrical energy,

D. Wind moves a turbine, generating electricity.

I E. Power lines heat up as electricity flows through them."

Some of the energy wasted during the movement of energy from one section of a system to another is heat is produced by friction between a car's tires and the road and as electricity passes via power lines, they heat up.

Hence, sentences A and D describe examples of energy transformation.

What must be true about a surface in order for diffuse reflection to occur?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

carpet

Explanation:

Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light from a surface such that an incident ray is reflected at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection.

The structure of carpet's surface is as shown. Thus it shows large amount of diffuse reflection.
