The available options are: (found the complete text on internet)
A- at a distance less than r
B- at a distance equal to r
C- at a distance greater than r

Solution:
The correct answer is C) at a distance greater than r.

In fact, the gravitational attraction between the satellite and the Earth provides the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in circular orbit, so we can write
G \frac{Mm}{r^2}=m \frac{v^2}{r}
where the term on the left is the gravitational force, while the term on the right is the centripetal force, and where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth mass
m is the satellite mass
r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center
v is the satellite speed

Re-arranging the equation, we get
r= \frac{GM}{v^2}
and we see from this formula that, if the second satellite has a speed less than the speed v of the first satellite, it means that the denominator of the fraction is smaller, and so r is larger for the second satellite.

Answer:

Option c. Inter-rater Reliability

Explanation:

Here, the rating is done by a group of data collectors under training for evaluation children's pain on Faces scale which is a scale ranging from 0 to 10 with different expressions or faces with a happy face at 0 to a crying face at 10.

Also in Inter-rater Reliability, the relative consistency of a study or test is assessed and the extent to which different group members rated the same behavior, the consistency of which is evaluated.

Thus it can also be helpful in interviews, etc.

A bullet of 10g strikes a sand bag at a speed of 100 m/s and gets embedded after travelling
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Solving for time :

(There are 4 formulas from linear motion. These formulas are very helpful as it allows us to prevent complicated calculations. Choose among the four that has : 1. The most constants known

2. The unknown constant that we want to solve)

s = (1/2)(u+v)t <--- one of the formulas

from linear motion

s (distance) = 0.05m

u (initial velocity) = 100m/s

v (final velocity) = 0 m/s (it stops)

t (time taken for change in velocity) = to be found

0.05 = (1/2)(100+0)t

t = 0.001 seconds

Solving for the resistant force :

Since the bullet hits the bag with an impulsive force and stops, the force that stops the bullet is the resistant force.

When the bullet stops :

F net = 0

F r = F imp

F r = (mu -mv)/t

F r = (0.01x100-0.01x0)/0.001

F r = 1/0.001

F r = 1000N
