Why does a satellite in a circular orbit travel at a constant speed?

Physics
1 answer:
NikAS [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Why does a satellite in a circular orbit travel at a constant speed? ... The net force acting on the satellite is zero. The gravitational force acting on the satellite is balanced by the centrifugal force acting on the satellite. There is a force acting opposite to the direction of the motion of the satellite.

In what setting do all frequencies of electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed?
Irina-Kira [14]
All electromagnetic waves travel in vacuum (space) at the speed of light (3 * 10^8 m/s). Radio waves is just a member of the electromagnetic spectrum. All electromagnetic waves follow the wave equation: speed = frequency * wavelength. With all electromagnetic waves, the speed in space is the same.

The potential energy of a 1.7 x 10-3 kg particle is described by U (x )space equals space minus (17 space J )space cos open squa
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a particle of mass

M = 1.7 × 10^-3 kg

Given a potential as a function of x

U(x) = -17 J Cos[x/0.35 m]

U(x) = -17 Cos(x/0.35)

Angular frequency at x = 0

Let find the force at x = 0

F = dU/dx

F = -17 × -Sin(x/0.35) / 0.35

F = 48.57 Sin(x/0.35)

At x = 0

Sin(0) =0

Then,

F = 0 N

So, from hooke's law

F = -kx

Then,

0 = -kx

This shows that k = 0

Then, angular frequency can be calculated using

ω = √(k/m)

So, since k = 0 at x = 0

Then,

ω = √0/m

ω = √0

ω = 0 rad/s

So, the angular frequency is 0 rad/s

What do you measure when you measure an object’s mass?
Effectus [21]

Answer:

how much space it takes up in the world

Explanation:

1) Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. 2) Mass is measured by using a balance comparing a known amount of matter to an unknown amount of matter. Weight is measured on a scale.

Water vapor enters the atmosphere through
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Heat from the Sun causes water to evaporate from the surface of lakes and oceans. This turns the liquid water into water vapor in the atmosphere. Plants, too, help water get into the atmosphere through a process called transpiration! ... Water can also get into the atmosphere from snow and ice.

Most water vapor enters the atmosphere via evaporation and transpiration. Evaporation occurs when a single water molecule on a liquid water surface gains enough kinetic energy (often by solar radiation) to break the bond which holds the molecules together. Really Hopes this helps!
