Answer:

the centripetal force on the satellite in the larger orbit is _one fourth_ as that on the satellite in the smaller orbit.

Explanation:

Mass of satellite, m

orbit radius of first, r1 = r

orbit radius of second, r2  = 2r

Centripetal force is given by

F= \frac{mv^{2}}{r}

Where v be the orbital velocity, which is given by

v=\sqrt{gr}

So, the centripetal force is given by

F= \frac{mgr}}{r}}=mg

where, g bet the acceleration due to gravity

g=\frac{GM}{r^{2}}

So, the centripetal force

F= \frac{GMm}}{r^{2}}}

Gravitational force on the satellite having larger orbit

F= \frac{GMm}{4r^{2}} .... (1)

Gravitational force on the satellite having smaller orbit

F'= \frac{GMm}{r^{2}} .... (2)

Comparing (1) and (2),

F' = 4 F

So, the centripetal force on the satellite in the larger orbit is _one fourth_ as that on the satellite in the smaller orbit.

High specific heat of the water. Option (c)

What is Specific heat?

The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius is referred to as the substance's specific heat. Typically, calories or joules are used per gram and degree Celsius when referring to the units of specific heat.

The moderate temperature of islands has much to do with the water's high specific heat. The typical off-water is more significant than this clear land or soil. Due to this fact, water absorbs and releases eat more slowly. In comparison to the land.

Hence, the water has high specific heat.

To learn more about specific heat the link is given below:
