Meaning of geosynchronous satellite

<u>Meaning of geosynchronous satellite:</u>

A satellite above Earth placed in a geosynchronous circular orbit, inclined at an angle with the equatorial plane of Earth and orbiting at an orbital period equal to that of earth’s rotational period is termed as a geosynchronous satellite. Geosynchronous orbit is a High Earth orbit at a distance of 42,164 kilometres from the centre of earth such that the gravitational pull from earth is fair enough for the object in orbital motion to match with the speed of earth’s rotational period (24 hrs)

As an observer from ground, a geosynchronous satellite appears to be at a stationary point, at any part of the day; since it's velocity synchronizes with the angular velocity that of earth. A geosynchronous satellite orbiting in an equatorial plane without any inclinations is termed as a geostationary satellite.

You have a spring-loaded air rifle. When it is loaded, the spring is compressed 0.3 m and has a spring constant of 150 N/m. In j
Feliz [49]

The potential energy of the spring is 6.75 J

The elastic potential energy stored in the spring is given by the equation:

E= \frac{1}{2} kx^2

where;

k is the spring constant

x is the compression/stretching of the string

In this problem, we have the spring as follows:

k = 150 N/m is the spring constant

x = 0.3 m is the compression

Substituting in the equation, we get

E=\frac{1}{2} (150) (0.3)^2

E=6.75J

Therefore. the elastic potential energy stored in the spring is 6.75J .

Give an example of hypothesis for an experiment and then identify its dependent and independent variables. Write all the steps o
e-lub [12.9K]
An example of a hypothesis for an experiment might be: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step one would be to make an observation... “hey, my b-ball doesn’t have much air in it, and it isn’t bouncing ver high”

Step two is to form your hypothesis: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step three is to test your hypothesis: maybe you want to drop the ball from a certain height, deflate it by some amount and then drop it from that same height again, and record how high the ball bounced each time.


Here the independent variable is how much air is in the basketball (what you want to change) and the dependent variable is how high the b-ball will bounce (what will change as a result of the independent variable)

Step four is to record all of your results and step five is to analyze that data. Does your data support your hypothesis? Why or why not?

You should only test one variable at a time because it is easier to tell why the results are how they are; you only have one cause.

Hope this helps!

Example of first, second and third law of motion.​
statuscvo [17]

Examples of Newton's three law of motion.

First law of motion: A rocket being launched up in the atmosphere.

Second law of motion:while riding a bicycle, a bicycle acts as a mass and our legs pushing on the pedals of the bicycle is the force.

Third law of motion:when we jump off from the boat,the boat moves backward.

Hope,it will helpyouu!

A kettle of water contains 1.2 kg of water. Calculate how much energy is required to hear it from water at 10 degrees to its boi
Darya [45]

Answer:

450 kJ

Explanation:

Q = mCΔT

where Q is heat (energy),

m is mass,

C is specific heat capacity,

and ΔT is the temperature change.

Q = (1.2 kg) (4180 J/kg/°C) (100°C − 10°C)

Q = 451,440 J

Q ≈ 450 kJ
