Which of Newton's Laws explains why satellites need very little fuel to stay in orbit?

1 answer:

5 0

A). The First law says that a moving object keeps going
if no force is there to stop it.

There's no force up there that's trying to stop an orbiting satellite,
so it doesn't need any fuel to keep orbiting.

Masja [62]

Answer:

a) I2 = 3 (o-10) / (o- 30) , b) h ’/h= 3 (o-10) / o (o-30)

Explanation:

The builder's equation is

1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

Where f is the focal length, or e i are the distance to the object and image, respectively

As the separation between the lenses is greater than the focal distances, we must work them individually and separately. Let's start with the leftmost lens with focal length f = 15 cm

Let's calculate the position of the image of this lens

1 / i1 = 1 / f - 1 / o

1 / i1 = 1/15 - 1 / o

i1 = o 15 / (o-15)

Let's calculate the distance to the image of the second lens, for this the image of the first is the distance to the object of the second

o2 = d-i1

We write the builder equation

1 / f2 = 1 / o2 + 1 / i2

1 / i2 = 1 / f2 -1 / o2

1 / i2 = 1 / f2 - 1 / (d-i1)

1 / i2 = 1/20 - 1 / (d-i1) (1)

Let's evaluate the last term

d-i1 = d - 15 o / (o-15)

d-i1 = (d (o-15) - 15 o) / (o-15)

d- i1 = (30 or -30 15 -15 o) / (o-15)

d-i1 = (15 or - 450) / (o- 15)

d-i1 = = (15 or -450) / (o-15)

replace in 1

1 / i2 = 1/20 - (or - 15) / (15 or -450)

1 / i2 = [(15 o-450) - (o-15) 20] / (15 or -150)

1 / i2 = (15 or - 450 - 20 or + 300) / (15 or - 150)

1 / i2 = (-5 or -150) / (15 or -150)

1 / i2 = (or -30) / (3 or - 30)

I2 = 3 (o-10) / (o- 30)

Part B

The height of the image, we use the magnification equation

m = h ’/ h = - i / o

h ’= - h i / o

In our case

h ’= h i2 / o

h ’= h 3 (o-10) / o (o-30)

If they give the distance to the object it is easier

Gravitational force depends on the mass of an object.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

sun, earth, capitol building, human, atom

Explanation:

Gravity is directly proportional to the size of an object. Therefore, the object with the most mass will have the greatest force of gravity. We know this from the equation. $F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

Tanya [424]

Answer: I'm not sure what it needs to be rounded to, but I got 37.53501401 m/s

Explanation: The formula for speed is speed = distance/time. You plug in the distance (13.40) and the time (0.357), then divide 13.40 by 0.357

I hope this helps! :)

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf 1.6\ units = 14.4p}$

Explanation:

Since,

So,

1.6 kWh = 1.6 units

If,

1.6 units = 9p × 1.6

1.6 units = 14.4p
