The earth exerts the necessary centripetal force on an orbiting satellite to keep it moving in a circle at constant speed. Which

one of the following statements best explains why the speed of the satellite does not change although there is a net force exerted on it?
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.

Ali mixes 20g of Sodium Chloride in 100g of water at 15 Degree °C. Calculate the mass of the solution
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The mass of the solution is 120 g.

Explanation:

The mass of the solution is given by:

m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2}

Where:

m_{sol}: is the mass of the solution

m_{1}: is the mass of the solvent

m_{2}: is the mass of the solute

In the solution, the solvent is the majority compound (in mass) and the solute is the minority (in mass), so the solvent is the water and the solute is sodium chloride.          

Hence, the mass of the solution is:

m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2} = 100 g + 20 g = 120 g  

I hope it helps you!

How do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate?
Wittaler [7]

Sky diving involves free fall under gravity along with the drag due to air molecules pushing against the body slowing the rate of fall of a body. This is actually a significant amount of force.  The drag force depends on the contact surface area and weight of the body. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position. This is because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. Since no two persons have identical body shape and weight, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.

B. Assuming the acceleration is still -9.81 m/s2, what is the instantaneous velocity of the
goblinko [34]

We have that the instantaneous velocity of the shuttlecock when it hits the ground is

V_{int}=\sqrt{U^2+19.6H}

From the question we are told

Assuming the acceleration is still -9.81 m/s2, what is the instantaneous velocity of the

shuttlecock when it hits the ground? Show your work below.

Generally the equation for acceleration  is mathematically given as

a=v \frac{dv}{dx}\\\\\Therefore\\\\\2ah=v^2-u^2

Where

acceleration is still -9.81 m/s2,

Hence,

V^2-U^2=2(-9.81)*-H

Therefore

V_{int}=\sqrt{U^2+19.6H}
