A satellite orbits the earth. The point in orbit farthest from the earth is the apogee and the point nearest the earth the perig
ee. With respect to the earth, at which of these points does the satellite have the greatest gravitational potential energy? The greatest kinetic energy? The greatest total energy?
The greatest gravitational potential energy is at apogee. The greatest kinetic energy is at perigee. Total Energy is constant.
Explanation:
The gravitational potential energy is at its greatest when the satellite is farthest from the earth, this point is called the apogee. And at this point the kinetic energy will be at its minimum.
The kinetic energy is greatest when the satellite is closest to the earth, this point is the perigee. And at this point the gravitational potential energy will be at a minimum level.
the total energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy and the kinetic energy.As the satellite orbits the earth, the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energymay be interchanged but the total energy will remain unchanged.
A flood is when a bunch of water comes rushing into a place and everything is almost completely covered in water. A landslide is much the same except it is with land-not water.
Since the clock produces 45 useful unites energy units for every 100 unites of energy that it uses, than it turns out that the efficiency of the clock is 45 percent.
One responsibility that is not a responsibility of a county government is to "C regulate local national guard," since this is in fact a responsibility of the larger state itself.
