Answer:

2 /s north

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity due North is 8 m/s and due south is 6 m/s

We need to find the magnitude and the direction of the resulting velocity.

Let North is positive and South is negative. When two velocities are in opposite direction, they adds up. So,

v=8+(-6)\\\\v=2\ m/s

It is positive. So, it is in North direction.

The centripetal force acting on a satellite in orbit
krok68 [10]

The centripetal force (of gravity) on a satellite in orbit is an
unbalanced force (because there's no equal force pulling
the satellite away from Earth), changes the direction of the
satellite (into a closed orbit instead of a straight line), and
always acts toward the center of whatever curve the satellite
happens to be on at the moment.

How does a solenoid convert energy from one form to another?​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in. More simply, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work.

Explanation:

The coil is made of many turns of tightly wound copper wire. When an electrical current flows through this wire, a strong magnetic field/flux is created.

The housing, usually made of iron or steel, surrounds the coil concentrating the magnetic field generated by the coil.

The plunger is attracted to the stop through the concentration of the magnetic field providing the mechanical force to do work.
