Once a satelite has entered a stable orbit round earth why does it not need fuel?

Physics
1 answer:
Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago
5 0

For the same reason that the Earth doesn't need any fuel to keep
orbiting the sun, and the moon doesn't need any fuel to keep
orbiting the Earth..

Here's something to think about:  A satellite in a perfectly circular
orbit always stays at the same distance from the Earth, so it never
moves in the direction of the gravitational force.  The work that
gravity does on it is (force) x (distance) = zero, so the satellite's
energy never changes.

An atom has an atomic number 17 and atomic mass number 35. How many neutrons are present in its nucleus?
Anna [14]
The number of <span>neutrons that are present in its nucleus is 18. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". Mass number minus the atomic number gives the number of neutrons. I hope that this is the answer that has come to your help.</span>

How much work does this force do as the particle moves along the x-axis from x = 0 to x = l? express your answer in terms of the
nydimaria [60]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= F0 L ( 1 - 1/e )

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Work done is given as the product of force and distance.

In this case;

Work done  = ∫︎ F(x) dx  

                    = F0 ∫︎ e^(-x/L) dx  

                    = F0 [ -L e^(-x/L) ] between 0 and L  

                    = F0 L ( 1 - 1/e )

A man walking on a tightrope carries a long a pole which has heavy items attached to the two ends. If he were to walk the tight-
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

 I_weight = M L²

this value is much larger and with it it is easier to restore balance.I

Explanation:

When man walks a tightrope, he carries a linear velocity, this velocity is related to the angular velocity by

            v = w r

For man to maintain equilibrium needs the total moment to be zero

             ∑τ = I α

              S  τ = 0

The forces on the home are the weight of the masses, the weight of the man and the support on the rope, the latter two are zero taque the distance to the center of rotation is zero.

Therefore the moment of the masses and the open is the one that must be zero.

If the man carries only the bar, we could approximate it by two open one on each side of the axis of rotation formed by the free of the rope

              I = ⅓ m L² / 4

As the length of half the length of the bar and the mass of the bar is small, this moment is small, therefore at the moment if there is some imbalance it is difficult to recover.

If, in addition to the opening, each of them carries a specific weight, the moment of inertia of this weight is

             I_weight = M L²

this value is much larger and with it it is easier to restore balance.
