Sattelites don't need any fuel to stay in orbit. The applicable law is...."objects in motion tend to stay in motion". Having reached orbital velocity, any such object is essentially "falling" around the earth. Since there is no (or at least very little) friction in the vacuum of space, the object does not slow.... It simply continues.
Sattelites in "low" earth orbit do encounter some friction from the very thin upper atmosphere, and they will eventually "decay".

Answer:
10.21 N
Explanation:
As the force is a vector, it can be decomposed in two components perpendicular each other, so there is no projection of one component in the direction of the other.
When divided in this way, the magnitude of the resultant vector can be found simply applying trigonometry, as follows:
F² = Fx² + Fy² ⇒ F = √(Fx)²+(Fy)²
Replacing by Fx= 5.17 N and Fy = 8.8 N, we get:
F = √(5.17)²+(8.8)² =10.21 N
Answer:
The fraction of kinetic energy to the total energy is
.
Explanation:
displacement is one third of the amplitude.
Let the amplitude is A.
x= A/3
The kinetic energy of the body executing SHM is

The total energy is

Divide (1) by (2)
