Answer:

The correct answer is the orbit.

Explanation:

Satellites are continuously attracted to the earth by the force of gravity. Inertia is the force that keeps satellites in a straight motion, pushing them into space. Gravity brakes and accommodates the satellite concerning the curvature of the earth. The speed at which the satellite is propelled must be precise so that it can remain in orbit concerning the earth.

To exemplify this, if the satellite has a high speed, it will move out of orbit into space. But if it moves too slowly, gravity will bring it back to Earth.

Have a nice day!

A toy car moves around a circular track at constant speed. It suddenly doubles its speed — a change of a factor of 2. As a resul

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

given,

toy car is moving in circular track

speed is doubled— a change of a factor of 2

to find change in factor of acceleration

radius doesn't change

centripetal acceleration formula

= $\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

velocity is change in factor of 2

so acceleration will be change at the factor of

= $\dfrac{(2v)^2}{r}$

= 2² = 4

so the correct answer is option B

Please need help with this

Mademuasel [1]

A 'velocity' is built out of a speed and a direction.

The only item on that list that has a speed and a direction is the <em>first one</em>. The speed is 30 m/s and the direction is south.

Compare an earthquake with a Richter scale magnitude of 5.5 to one with a magnitude of 7.5.

maksim [4K]

The 7.5 is a 100 times stronger than the 5.5 . The 100 comes from the increase in scale from 5.5 to 7.5 which is an increase of two so you multiply the strength of the weaker earthquake 10^7-5=10^2=100 and that gives you the strength of the stronger earthquake!

If an oscillating mass has a frequency of 1.25 Hz, it makes 100 oscillations in

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Time, t = 80 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of the oscillating mass, f = 1.25 Hz

Number of oscillations, n = 100

We need to find the time in which it makes 100 oscillations. We know that the frequency of an object is number of oscillations per unit time. It is given by :

$f=\dfrac{n}{t}$

$t=\dfrac{n}{f}$

$t=\dfrac{100}{1.25\ Hz}$

t = 80 seconds

So, it will make 100 oscillations in 80 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
