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

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.

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Object 3 has greatest acceleration.

Explanation:

Objects               Mass                                Force

1                            10 kg                               4 N              

2                           100 grams                       20 N

3                            10 grams                         4 N

4                             1 kg                                 20 N

Acceleration of object 1,

a_1=\dfrac{F_1}{m_1}\\\\a_1=\dfrac{4}{10}\\\\a_1=0.4\ m/s^2

Acceleration of object 2,

a_2=\dfrac{F_2}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{20}{0.1}\\\\a_2=200\ m/s^2

Acceleration of object 3,

a_3=\dfrac{F_3}{m_3}\\\\a_3=\dfrac{4}{0.01}\\\\a_3=400\ m/s^2

Acceleration of object 4,

a_4=\dfrac{F_4}{m_4}\\\\a_4=\dfrac{20}{1}\\\\a_3=20\ m/s^2

It is clear that the acceleration of object 3 is 400\ m/s^2 and it is greatest of all. So, the correct option is (3).

Two protons are released from rest, with only the electrostatic force acting. Which of the following statements must be true abo
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Explanation:

correct options

a ) Their electrical potential energy keeps decreasing

Actually as they move apart , their electrical potential energy decreases due to increase of distance between them and kinetic energy increases

so a ) option is correct

b ) Their acceleration keeps decreasing

As they move apart , their mutual force of repulsion decreases due to increase of distance between them so the acceleration decreases .

c ) c. Their kinetic energy keeps increasing

Their kinetic energy increases because their electrical potential energy decreases . Conservation of energy law will apply .
