Consider a satellite in a circular orbit around the earth. Why is it important to give a satellite a horizontal speed when placi

ng it in orbit? What will happen if the horizontal speed is too small? What will happen if the speed is too large?

Answer:

In this case, the horizontal velocity of the rocket starts from the acceleration, so if its velocity drops to zero,

Explanation:

When a satellite is in orbit the most important force is the docking of gravity with the Earth

             F = m a

where the acceleration is centripetal and F is the force of universal attraction

centripetal acceleration is

             a = v² / r

             

             F = m v² / r

In this case, the horizontal velocity of the rocket starts from the acceleration, so if its velocity drops to zero, the force also drops to serious and the satellite steels to Earth.

The speed of the satellite is provides the speed, by local for smaller speeds in satellite, it descends in its orbits and when the speed is amate you have the energy to stop an orb to go to a higher orbit.

A 1400.0 kg car crests a 3200.0 m pass in the mountains and briefly comes to rest. The car descends 1000 m before climbing and c
rjkz [21]

Answer:

a) v = 88.54 m/s

b) vf = 26.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

m = 1400.0 kg

a)

by using the energy conservation

loss in potential energy is equal to gain in kinetic energy

mg × ( 3200-2800) = 1/2 ×m×v²

so

1400 × 9.8 × 400 = 0.5 × 1400 × v²

5488000 = 700v²

v² = 5488000 / 700

v² = 7840

v = √7840

v = 88.54 m/s

b)

Work done by all forces is equal to change in KE

W_gravity + W_non - conservative = 1/2×m×(vf² - vi²)

we substitute

1400 × 9.8 × ( 3200-2800) - (5 × 10⁶) = 1/2 × 1400 × (vf²  -0 )

488000 = 700 vf²

vf² = 488000 / 700

vf² = 697.1428

vf = √697.1428

vf = 26.4 m/s

5. Why did people change the Bronx River in the past?​
liubo4ka [24]

when a glacier came through the Bronx approximately 240,000 years ago it blocked part of the original path of the Bronx river and subsequently reshaped and modified the path of the river over the past 200 years the rivers course has been altered dramatically by human impact and industry.

have a great day ☺
