True, according to the Kinetic Molecular Theory.
<h2>
Answer:
</h2>
The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is <u>constant</u> and defined by the following expression:
(1)
Where:
is the gravity constant
the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting
the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).
Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. I<u>t depends on the mass of the massive body.</u>
In addition, this orbital speed is constant because at all times <u>both the kinetic energy and the potential remain constant</u> in a circular (closed) orbit.
Answer:
58.27 N
Explanation:
the data we have is:
mass: 
coefficient of friction: 
and we also know the acceleration of gravity is 
We need to do an analysis of horizontal and vertical forces acting on the object:
-------
Vertically the forces acting on the object:
- Normal force
(acting up from the object)
- weight:
(acting down from)
so the sum of forces in the vertical axis "y" are:

from Newton's second Law we know that
, so:

and since the object is not accelerating in the vertical direction (the movement is only horizontal)
, and:

-----------
now let's analyze the horizontal forces
- frictional force:
and since
--> 
- force to move the object:

and the two forces just mentioned must be opposite, thus the sum of forces in the "x" axis is:

and we are told that the crate moves at a steady speed, thus there is no acceleration: 
and we get:

substituting known values:
