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.

Answer:

Condition of fatigue caused by depletion of glycogen

Explanation:

Let us examine how a body produces energy. There are two ways:

Fat metabolism

Fatty acids in the body help to capture adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which produces energy. On a per gram basis fatty acids yields the most ATP when oxidized completely.

Glycogen breakdown

the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase cleaves glycogen from the non reducing ends to produce monomers of glucose-1-phosphate. These monomers are used by the human body to supply energy.

When a person is exercising his/her VO₂ i.e., the oxygen consumption reaches maximum, here most of the energy comes from glycogen. While exercising most of the energy comes from glycogen breakdown.

So, when Anthony hit the wall it means that he has depleted his source of glycogen and can no longer produce glucose which provides him energy.

Block A is also connected to a horizontally-mounted spring with a spring constant of 281 J/m2. What is the angular frequency (in
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, the formula to be used here is

ω = 2π/T

Where ω is the angular frequency (in rad/s)

T is the period - the time taken for Block A to complete one oscillation and return to it's original position.

To solve for this period T, the formula below should be used

T = 2π√m/k

where m is the mass of the object (Block A) and k is the spring constant (281 J/m²)

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

if it were to be digital then you would be able to carry it around where ever and look at it to remind you of the memories, however it probably wouldnt last as long as the physical one. eg if you phone breaks there is a chance to restore the photo but you would had to have backed it up beforehand.
