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

1 answer:

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 inverse-time circuit breaker (CB) is used for branch-circuit short-circuit and ground-fault protection for a 30-horsepower, 2

Maru [420]

Answer:

Explanation:

Motor rating is given in horsepower (hp), it will be converted in watt (W).

Standard to install circuit breaker for an electric circuit is usually 20% ~ 25% more than the Rated Current of the circuit

while

Standard to install overload relay for an electric circuit is usually 20% ~ 25% more than the Running Current of the circuit.

So, to find the maximum capacity of the circuit breaker, rated current of the motor will be multiplied by 1.2 ~ 1.25

Step by Step Explanation:

30hp = 22371W (as 1hp = 745.7)

Assuming unity power factor (cosФ=1) and 208V phase to phase voltage:

Rated Power (watt) = √3 . V.I. cosФ

{if 208V is phase to neutral voltage, then use following formula:

Rated Power (watt) = 3 . V.I. cosФ}

$\frac{22371}{\sqrt{3} * 208 * 1} = I$

Rated Current = 62.169A

So, required maximum rating for circuit breaker is:

20% to 25% of the rated current = 62.17*1.2 ~ 62.17*1.25

=74.6A ~ 77.7A

Hence, any breaker between the above mentioned rating will be appropriate.

Well it is definitely answer B because when light is on for a long time it heats up a lot.the thermometer obviously went up which means the light bulb had more energy and was hotter than the start of it

Explain how atoms of elements form molecules, compounds and mixtures.

katrin2010 [14]

An element is composed of millions of atoms and a compound is composed of molecules. When an atom reacts with another atom, a molecule is formed.

For example, if sodium reacts with chloride, it forms sodium chloride (Common salt). Here, sodium and chloride are elements and sodium chloride is a molecule. In this way, millions of atoms of sodium reacts with chloride and forms common salt.

Again, when the common salt is mixed with other compounds such as water, it forms a mixture.
