The correct answer is:
<span>A. orbiting closer to the earths surface. 

In fact, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the satellite is
</span>F=G \frac{Mm}{r^2}
<span>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 surface

We can see that, if the satellite orbits closer to the Earth's surface, its distance r from the centre of the planet decreases. But when r decreases, F (the gravitational force) increases, so A is the correct answer.</span>

Why are units of measurement useful?
Zanzabum

Without the ability to measure, it would be difficult for scientists to conduct experiments or form theories. Not only is measurement important in science and the chemical industry, it is also essential in farming, engineering, construction, manufacturing, commerce, and numerous other occupations and activities.

The following three questions refer to a situation in which a driver is in a car that crashes into a solid wall. The car comes t
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

1) p₀ = 45000 N / s ,   p₀ '= 1800 , b)  I = -45000 N s ,  I = 1800 Ns

Explanation:

Impulse equals the change in momentum

         I = Δp

1) the initial moment of the car

         p₀ = M v

          p₀ = 1500 30

          p₀ = 45000 N / s

the change at the moment is

          Δp = 45000

because the end the car is stopped

moment of the person

          P₀ ’= m v

         p₀ '= 60 30

          p₀ '= 1800

          D₀ '= 1800

2) of the momentum change impulse ratio

        car

              I =  Δp

              I = -45000 N s

        person

              I = Δpo '

              I = 1800 Ns

3) the object that give the momentum to stop the wall motoring

The person is stopped by the impulse given by the car

a) This area is the one that absorbs most of the vehicle impulse

be) If using a safety painter, the time during which the greater force will act, therefore the lessons decrease

c) The air bag helps reduction in the speed of the person relatively quickly.

A person wearing a shoulder harness can survive a car crash if the acceleration is smaller than -300 m/s . assuming constant acc
mars1129 [50]

To solve this problem, we use the equation:

<span>d = (v^2  - v0^2) / 2a</span>

 

where,

d = distance of collapse

v0 = initial velocity = 101 km / h = 28.06 m / s

v = final velocity = 0

a = acceleration = - 300 m / s^2

 

d = (-28.06 m / s)^2 / (2 * - 300 m / s^2)

<span>d = 1.31 m</span>
