A satellite in circular orbit around the Earth moves at constant speed. This orbit is maintained by the force of gravity between

the Earth and the satellite, yet no work is done on the satellite. How is this possible?
a. No work is done if there is no contact between objects.
b. No work is done because there is no gravity in space.
c. No work is done if the direction of motion is perpendicular to the force.
d. No work is done if objects move in a circle.

Answer:

C. No work is done if the direction of motion is perpendicular to the force.

Explanation:

We know that work is the dot product of force and displacement.

Let's take the angle between the force and the displacement = θ

W= F . d cosθ

F=Force  , d=Displacement  

If θ = 0° then W= F.d

If θ = 90° then W= 0

So we can say that when force is perpendicular to the displacement then the work done by force will be zero.

Therefore the answer is C.

6. Draw a velocity-time graph for an object originally traveling at -3 m/s. The object
faltersainse [42]

See the graph in attachment

Explanation:

In this problem we have to draw a velocity-time graph for an object travelling initially at -3 m/s, then slowing down and turning around.

In the graph, we see that the initial velocity at time t = 0 is

v_0 = -3 m/s

and it is negative, so below the x-axis.

Later, the object slows down: this means that the magnitude of its velocity increases, therefore (since the velocity is negative) the curve must go upward, approaching and reaching the x-axis (which corresponds to zero velocity).

After that, the object's velocity keep increasing, but now it is positive: this means that the object is travelling in a direction opposite to the initial direction, so it has turned around.
