The statement “When an object is in orbit, it is falling at the same rate at which the Earth is curving” is true. The speed of a satellite orbiting the earth depends only on the mass of the earth and the mass of the satellite.

Aleonysh [2.5K]
The overall force of gravity becomes stronger and stronger. This is because the gravity depends on the inverse of the square of the distance:
F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}
and since the distance r between the molecules becomes smaller, the gravity increases more and more.

For this triangle...?
Mariulka [41]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= 0.6

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Using Pythagoras theorrem

Base² + height ² = Hypotenuse²

Thus;

Base² = 15² - 12²

          = 81

Base = √81 = 9

But; cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse

Hence; cos θ = 9/15

                      <u>= 0.6 </u>

A 1.4-kg block slides freely across a rough surface such that the block slows down with an acceleration of â1.25 m/s2. what is t
Marianna [84]

Mass of the block = 1.4 kg

Weight of the block = mg = 1.4 × 9.8 = 13.72 N

Normal force from the surface (N) = 13.72 N

Acceleration = 1.25 m/s^2

Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be μ

Friction force = μN

F(net) = ma

μmg = ma

μg = a

μ = \frac{a}{g}

μ = \frac{1.25}{9.8}

μ = 0.1275

Hence, the coefficient of kinetic friction is: μ = 0.1275
