The object is at rest. This is because time is going by and there’s no distance being added
The average speed of a moving object is the rate of change of a certain distance with respect with time. It is equal to the total distance that was traveled by the object over the total time it takes to travel that distance. For this problem we need to assume that the total distance that was traveled would be equal to 120 miles. So, for the first half of the distance or 60 miles at a speed of 30 miles per hour, the time taken would be two hours. For the remaining 60 miles at a speed of 60 miles per hour, 1 hour is total time traveled. So, we calculate the average speed as follows:
Average speed = total distance / total time
Average speed = 120 miles / 2 hr + 1 hr
Average speed = 40 mi / hr
The forces of gravity between two objects are inversely proportional to
the square of the distance between them. So reducing the distance
by 1/2 means increasing the gravitational force by 2² = 4 times.
The 1 million newtons becomes 4 million newtons.
Note that this does NOT mean the satellite's altitude above the surface.
When you're calculating gravitational forces, it's the distance between
the centers of the objects. So the question is a meaningful exercise
only if we use the distance between the satellite and the planet's center.
I believe the correct response would be true, thermal energy or heat that is produced by friction usually cannot be used to do work.
Boyle's law is modeled by the equation p1v1=p2v2.
