Answer:

Low satellite has high orbital velocity

Explanation:

let v be the orbital speed of the satellite orbiting at a height h is given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}

where, M be the mass of planet, r be the radius of planet and h be the height of planet from the surface of planet.

here we observe that more be the height lesser be the orbital velocity.

So, a satellite which is at low height has high orbital velocity.

Mary is driving a car of mass 900 kilograms toward the north with a velocity of
lorasvet [3.4K]
Since both cars move together after the collision, then this is an example of an inelastic collision. The formula for an inelastic collision is as follows:

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2)v

Where:

m1 = mass of the first object
m2 = mass of the second object
u1 = initial velocity of the first object
u2 = initial velocity of the second object
v = final velocity

Substituting the given values to solve for v:

900*22 + 900*15 = (900 + 900)v
v = 18.5 m/s

Arada [10]
I don't see an image, but the force of gravity depends on mass and distance. If the mass and the distance are different, you divide (mass÷distance).the greater the number the greater the force of gravity.
