Earth's gravity and the satellite's velocity keeps it so that it stays in orbit. (there is a more complicated side, too...)
Answer:
Friction always acts in the direction opposing motion. This means if friction is present, it counteracts and cancels some of the force causing the motion (if the object is being accelerated).
Explanation:
Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other.
Answer:
They're going to increase the total resistance as 
Explanation:
If the resistors are in parallel, the potential difference is the same for each resistor. But the total current is the sum of the currents that pass through each of the resistors. Then
where
but
for 
so
where
The correct answer is A. 32.5
Mechanical advantage is the ratio of force that is input into a machine to the force output.
Mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is calculated by dividing the radius of the wheel by that of the axle.
MA=R/r where R is the radius of the wheel and r is the radius of the axle.
Substituting for the values in the question gives:
MA=26cm/0.8cm
=32.5
Answer:
Li has less mass and therefore less inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Raj.
Explanation:
Inertia describes the resistance of an object to any change in its state of motion, and it depends on the mass of the object only. In particular:
- if an object has a large inertia (large mass), then it is more difficult to change its state of motion (i.e. to put it in motion, or to slow it down, or to change its direction of motion)
- if an object has small inertia (small mass), then it is more easy to change its state of motion
In this problem, Li has less mass than Raj, so he has less inertia, therefore he can change his motion more easily than Raj.
