If a spacecraft in earth orbit is pushed by a thruster what will happen?
1 answer:
For the orbital speed of a spacecraft we know that
here
M = mass of the planet around which satellite is revolving
r = orbital radius
Now when thruster is used by the spacecraft its speed will change due to which orbital speed will change.
Since here while changing the speed mass of the planet will be same
we can say the speed of the spacecraft will changed by thruster due to which its orbital radius will change
so the correct answer must be
<em>b. the spacecraft will change motion and will maintain this new orbit until the thruster is fired again.</em>

Answer:
The induced emf can be found by Faraday’s Law.
The magnetic field is increasing at a rate of 0.1T/s. So,
Finally,
Explanation:
Faraday’s Law states that a change in the magnetic flux induces an emf in the circuit. The magnetic flux is the multiplication of magnetic field and the area of the loop. The area of the loop is simple, and the change of magnetic field as a function of time is given in the question.
The minus sign in front of the Faraday’s Law means that the induced current always opposes the change of the magnetic flux. Since we do not know the direction of the magnetic field in this question, we cannot find the direction of the induced emf on the loop.
