Why is being geosynchronous important for telecommunications satellites

Physics
1 answer:
Lelu [443]3 years ago
6 0

Because any antenna on the ground that uses a satellite has to stay pointed at the satellite.  

If the satellite is moving in the sky, then the antenna has to keep moving to follow it.

But if the satellite APPEARS to be motionless in the sky, then the antenna on the ground can be aimed once, and it doesn't have to be moved after that.  "Set it and forget it."

There would be no TV satellites if everybody who wanted to use it had to keep moving their little dish to keep the TV picture coming in.

Steve want to catch up to Cami, a girl he likes. If he is jogging at 8 m/s and she is walking at 1 m/s. How long will it take hi
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

<u><em>1) if they are moving away from each other it will take 1.43 secs</em></u>

<u><em>2) if they are moving towards each other then it will take 1.11 secs</em></u>

Explanation:

Distance between them is 10 m

Speed  ( if they are moving towards each other)= distance/time

time = 10/8+1

time = distance / speed= 10/9=  1.11 secs

if they are moving away from each other than it will take

time = 10/8-1= 10/7= 1.43 secs

What is the elastic potential energy of a spring that is compressed a distance of 0.35 m and has a spring constant of 71.8 N/m?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

P.E = 4.398 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Spring constant, k = 71.8N/m

Displacement, x = 0.35m

To find the elastic potential energy;

The elastic potential energy of an object is given by the formula;

P.E = \frac {1}{2}kx^{2}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

P.E = \frac {1}{2}*71.8 *(0.35)^{2}

P.E = 35.9 * 0.1225

Elastic potential energy = 4.398 Joules.

<em>Therefore, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 4.398 Joules. </em>

What is the inverse square law and how does it relate to gravity?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Inverse Square Law Newton proposed the Inverse Square Law. The effect of gravity (and also on forces such as sunlight) works like this. If say we have a half-mass Earth, it would produce a gravity of not half but a quarter (the square of 2).

Explain the process of <br>anomalous expansion of water​
Kay [80]

The anomalous expansion of water refers to the fact that water, unlike most substances, expands when it freezes. The density of water increases as temperature decreases but reaches a maximum at 4° C then begins to expand.

When liquid water is cooled, it contracts like one would expect until a temperature of approximately 4 degrees Celsius is reached. After that, it expands slightly until it reaches the freezing point, and then when it freezes it expands by approximately 9%.
