4. A 1,000-kilogram satellite completes a uniform circular orbit of radius 8.0 x 10 meters as
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement of the object

In this situation, the force is the force of gravity acting on the satellite. This force always points towards the centre of the trajectory, so it is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the satellite (since the orbit is circular), so \theta=90^{\circ} and cos \theta =0. Therefore, the work done by gravity is also zero.

Suppose you are on an airplane moving at high speed. If you flip a coin straight up it will land in your lap rather than a great
maxonik [38]
It will land in your lap because there's different frames of motion relative to yourself. For example, if you're running at a speed of 6 mph, it doesn't mean you'll run as fast as the Earth spins. Also, since you're on the interior of the plane, any kind of wind or weather on the outside will not affect the coin. A law to back up this claim is Einsteins Special Law of Relativity.

5. Annie drags her little red wagon with a mass of 5.00 kg, up a hill that has an angle of
maxonik [38]

Answer: 25.08\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

mass of wagon m=5 kg

elevation

\theta =30.9^{\circ}\\F=150\ N

Sin component of weight will oppose the applied force therefore we can write

F-W\sin \theta=ma\\where\\W=weight(mg)\\a=acceleration

150-5\times 9.8\times \sin (30.09)^{\circ}=5\times a\\125.43=5a\\a=25.08\ m/s^2
