A) The satellite is in equilibrium.
B) The acceleration of the satellite is zero m/s2 .
C) The centripetal force has magnitude mv2 /r.
D) The centripetal force is canceled by the reaction force.

Answer:

E) The centripetal force is always perpendicular to the velocity.

Explanation:

Due to gravity and inertia, the satellite follows a uniform circular motion. In this movement, the velocity is always tangent to the orbit and the centripetal force is directed towards the center. Therefore, there is no net acceleration in the same direction of velocity, which implies that it remains constant.

Discuss the path that light takes through the human eye
amm1812

The cornea is shaped like a dome and bends light to help the eye focus. Some of this light enters the eye through an opening called the pupil (PYOO-pul). The iris (the colored part of the eye) controls how much light the pupil lets in. Next, light passes through the lens (a clear inner part of the eye).

A 240 g toy car is placed on a narrow 60-cm-diameter track with wheel grooves that keep the car going in a circle. The 1.0 kg tr
lesya [120]

Answer:

The track's angular velocity is W2 = 4.15 in rpm

Explanation:

Momentum angular can be find

I = m*r^2

P = I*W

So to use the conservation

P1 + P2 = 0

I1*W1 + I2*W2 = 0

Solve to w2 to find the angular velocity

0.240kg*0.30m^2*0.79m/s=-1kg*0.30m^2*W2

W2 = 0.435 rad/s

W2 = 4.15 rpm

"In a pure substance all the particles must be identical; therefore pure substances are composed only of elements." Do you agree
kenny6666 [7]

I do not agree with the statement.
The "substance" can be a compound.  It's "pure"
as long as there's nothing else in it but its name.

'Pure' water is 100% H₂O with nothing else in it.
'Pure' table salt is 100% NaCl with nothing else in it.
'Pure' carbon dioxide is 100% CO₂ with nothing else in it.

These example substances are all compounds, not elements.
