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!

Since we are only looking at the vertical height, we can use the free fall equation to find the height:
h = 0.5*g*t^2, where h is height in m, g is acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2), and t is time in seconds
h = 0.5*(9.81 m/s^2)*(3.7 s)^2
h = 67.15 m
Therefore, the 7th floor window is 67.15 m above ground level.

Explanation:

Given that

Number of particle =N

Equilibrium temperature= T

Side of cube = L

Gravitational acceleration =g

The kinetic energy of an atom given as

$K.E.=\dfrac{3}{2}KT$

Andrej [43]

Answer: $\dfrac{d-0.5at^2}{t}=v_i$

Explanation:

$d=v_it+0.5at^2\\\\\\\text{Subtract}\ 0.5at^2\ \text {from both sides:}\\d-0.5at^2=v_it\\\\\\\text{Divide both sides by t:}\\\dfrac{d-0.5at^2}{t}=v_i$
