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.

A small object begins a free-fall from a height of =81.5 m at 0=0 s . After τ=2.20 s , a second small object is launched vertica
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

33.2 m

Explanation:

For the first object:

y₀ = 81.5 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t₀ = 0 s

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

y = 81.5 − 4.9t²

For the second object:

y₀ = 0 m

v₀ = 40.0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t₀ = 2.20 s

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

y = 40(t−2.2) − 4.9(t−2.2)²

When they meet:

81.5 − 4.9t² = 40(t−2.2) − 4.9(t−2.2)²

81.5 − 4.9t² = 40t − 88 − 4.9 (t² − 4.4t + 4.84)

81.5 − 4.9t² = 40t − 88 − 4.9t² + 21.56t − 23.716

81.5 = 61.56t − 111.716

193.216 = 61.56t

t = 3.139

The position at that time is:

y = 81.5 − 4.9(3.139)²

y = 33.2

If a stationary object experiences a downward force of 12 n and an upward force of 12 n, what is the motion of the object?
mojhsa [17]
The motion would not move at all, because the forces that are acting on it are equal and are acting in opposite directions

What are the requirements for chemical labels
yaroslaw [1]

A chemical label should include: a product identifier, signal word, hazard statement, precautionary statement,pictorgrams and supplier information

Explanation:

The product identifier : positioned at the upper left end corner of the label gives the identity of the hazardous chemical by appropriate terms. i.e. the name and code

Signal word: The "Danger" and "WARNING" words. The former is used for a more severe hazard where as the former is for a less severe hazard

Hazard statement : gives a description of the nature and degree of hazard of the chemical

Precautionary statements : Put for workers and users on ways to minimize exposure and lower risks in event of contact with the harmful chemical

Supplier information : It has the chemical manufacturer details such as name, location and telephone number.

Pictograms : Normally symbols with red borders for visual illustration of the hazard chemical.
