A satellite is placed in a geosynchronous orbit. In this equatorial orbit with a period of 24 hours, the satellite hovers over o

ne point on the equator. Which statement is true for a satellite in such an orbit?a. There is a tangential force that helps the satellite keep up with the rotation of the Earth.b. There is no acceleration toward the center of the Earth.c. The force toward the center of the Earth is balanced by a force away from the center of the Earth.d. The satellite is in a state of free fall toward the Earth.e. There is no gravitational force on the satellite.

Answer:

see that the correct one is D

Explanation:

In this problem the satellite is subjected to the universal force of attraction

    F = G M m / r²

using Newton's second law with centripetal acceleration you can find the angular velocity of the satellite

  F = m a

  F = m w² r

  G M / r³ = w²

and   w = 2π / T

In this case, the satellite is in a two-dimensional movement, where the free fall of the satellite is compensated by the horizontal displacement, for which it is always at a distance from the earth, remaining at the same point.

When reviewing the different statements we see that the correct one isD

<span>The correct answer is C:Waves transfer energy, but not matter. A wave does not move matter in the direction of its propagation. It only transfers energy just like the ocean wave traveling many miles away with the water just moving up and down.</span>

EARTH SCIENCE PLEASE ANSWER
Rzqust [24]

The Earth Science answers are shown below.

Explanation:

1. The movement of the sun will change the angle it has on the sky in 30 minutes, it is always moving from the east to the west, so in 30 minutes it would move more west, no matter at what time you make the experiment. From Earth, the Sun looks like it moves across the sky in the daytime and appears to disappear at night. This is because the Earth is spinning towards the east. The Earth spins about its axis, an imaginary line that runs through the middle of the Earth between the North and South poles

2. No, both marks are the same distance from the ground.  the amount of stick above the mark will not affect the distance that the shadow of the mark moves at all. The Sun's clockwise motion is an apparent motion caused by the rotation of the Earth. The counterclockwise rotation of the Earth in the Sun's light causes the shadow of the gnomon to move clockwise. As the Sun appears to move higher above the horizon before solar noon, the shadow grows shorter and shorter.

3. In the summer the shadows are shorter, and in the winter the shadows are longer. In the morning your shadow will point west and in the afternoon it will point east. If your shadow is long, it is near sunrise or sunset. Your shadow is shortest around noon.

4. If the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, then the Earth should rotate in the opposite direction from west to east (anti-clockwise). Earth's spin (or rotation) on its axis. Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.

A car radio draws 0.27 A of current in the autos 12-V electrical system. (a) How much electric power does the radio use?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

(a) 3.24 w (b) 44.44 ohm

Explanation:

It is given that car draws 0.27 A current so current I = 0.27 A

The system has a voltage of 12 V

(a) Electrical power = voltage ×current =12\times 0.27=3.24W

(b) The resistance is defined as the ratio of voltage and current

So resistance R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{12}{0.27}=44.44 ohm

State the success of j j Thompson model theory​
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Thomson's atomic model was successful in explaining the overall neutrality of the atom. However, its propositions were not consistent with the results of later experiments. In 1906, J. J. Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for his theories and experiments on electricity conduction by gases.

Summary. J.J. Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons. Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of the atom, which had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged "soup."

Explain whether smoke filling up a room is diffusion or not
pogonyaev
Yes, it is diffusion !

Diffusion is the process in which gas, through random movement of particles, tends to fill up the whole volume of the container in which it is placed. So a similar process would lead the smoke, which is in form of gas (or light particles), to fill in the whole room in which it is contained.
