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

Calculate the force generated by a car that hits the wall at an
Makovka662 [10]

This is a defective question. It was WRITTEN by someone who is unclear on the concepts.  DON'T try and answer it.

It's trying to get us to use Newton's second law ... F = m • a.

But that only tells us how much force must act ON THE CAR in order to accelerate it. (45 kg) • (4 m/s^2) = 180 newtons.

This is NOT the force exerted BY the car when it hits something. THAT force depends on its speed WHEN it hits, AND how long it takes for the wreckage to actually come to rest, AND how hard or soft the wall is.

DON'T try to answer this question. Your answer will be wrong, you won't understand why, and the teacher you try to argue with probably won't either.

============================================

More explanation:

Think about jumping off of a ladder in your back yard.  Several times.

Your mass is the same every time.  Your acceleration is the same every time . . . 9.8 m/s² down, the acceleration of Earth gravity, every time.

BUT ...

-- I'll bet you would rather land on wood than on concrete. The force of landing would be less.

-- I'll bet you would rather land on dirt than on wood. The force of landing would be less.

-- I'll bet you would rather land on grass than on dirt. The force of landing would be less.

-- I'll bet you would rather land on a pile of blankets than on dirt. The force of landing would be less.

-- I'll bet you would rather land on a trampoline than on a pile of blankets. The force of landing would be less.

-- I'll bet you would rather jump from a short ladder than from a tall one.  Your speed would be less when you landed, and the force of landing would be less.

==> Your mass is the SAME every time, and your acceleration is the SAME every time.  But the force when you hit is DIFFERENT every time.

The mass and acceleration of the car DON'T tell us the force of the hit when the car hits a wall.

What happens when a continental plate splits apart
Tatiana [17]
When plates pull apart underwater, the hot magma instantly rises and spreads itself to form a new ocean floor.Under a continent, the crust splits open to allow magma out. The magma might make its way slowly to the surface, creating warm areas and hot springs or geysers as surface water meets it.<span>Or the magma might explode, bringing into existence a new volcano where there was only cool earth before.</span>

How could pig xenotransplantation affect humans?
Korolek [52]

It could cause them to catch animal disease

Explanation:

Xenotransplantation refers to the transplantation of organs or tissues between different species. E.g. Chimpanzee organ (liver) being transplanted into a human body would come under the category of xenotransplantation.

Pigs have come up as prospective organ donors since their organs and tissues are more or less to that of human’s. However, there are issues such as-

  1. Xenotransplantation of pig’s tissue into a human would allow easier passage for all types of zoonotic viruses.
  2. Moreover, if transgenic pigs are used instead of natural pigs it can lead to virus mutation as per the human body demands thus leading to increased susceptibility to human infection.

Thus,  engrafting of pig’s tissue in the human body poses a significant risk for humans of catching a zoonotic (animal) disease.
