Answer:

c) At a distance greater than r

Explanation:

If G= Gravitational constant

M= Mass of earth

r= distance from earth center

then orbital speed is ;

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }

==> v²=GM/r

If speed of first satellite = V₁

==> V₁² = GM/r

==> r = GM/V₁²

If speed of second satellite say V₂ is less than V₁ then square of V₂ will be less than square of V₁ , and hence GM will be divided by less number in case of second satellite, and hence will give greater value of r as compared to first satellite.

So our answer is c

Explanation:

The particle will be at rest when its velocity v(t) is equal to zero. Recall that the velocity is simply the derivative of the position x(t) with respect to time:

v(t) = \dfrac{dx}{dt}

Since x(t) = t^2 - 2t + 2

then

v(t) = \dfrac{d}{dt}(t^2 - 2t + 2) = 2t - 2 = 0

Solving for t, we find that the particle will be at rest at

t = 1\:\text{s}

The normal is a line perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence.
ladessa [460]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The normal line is defined as the line which is perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point where the incident ray meet with the reflecting surface.

The angle of incident is defined as the angle which is subtended by the incident ray with respect to the normal ray by consider the normal ray as the base line and angle is measured from the point where incident ray is incident on the reflecting surface of the mirror.

Similarly reflecting ray can be defined as the ray which is reflected after the incident of a ray and the angle subtended by the reflecting ray is measure with respect to normal ray by considering normal ray as a base line.

Therefore, the normal ray is the perpendicular line to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence.
