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".

<span>step 1: energy required to heat coffee
E = m Cp dT
E = energy to heat coffee
m = mass coffee = 225 mL x (0.997 g / mL) = 224g
Cp = heat capacity of coffee = 4.184 J / gK
dT = change in temp of coffee = 62.0 - 25.0 C = 37.0 C
E = (224 g) x (4.184 J / gK) x (37.0 C) = 3.46x10^4 J
step2: find energy of a single photon of the radiation
E = hc / λ
E = energy of the photon
h = planck's constant = 6.626x10^-34 J s
c = speed of light = 3.00x10^8 m/s
λ = wavelength = 11.2 cm = 11.2 cm x (1m / 100 cm) = 0.112 m
E = (6.626x10^-34 J s) x (3.00x10^8 m/s) / (0.112 m) = 1.77x10^-16 J
step3: Number of photons
3.46x10^4 J x ( 1 photon / 1.77x10^-16 J) = 1.95x10^20 photons</span>
First of all we state the formula
Power=work done/time
we can rearrange this formula as well
work done=power x time
Since the SI unit of time is in seconds we change the minutes to seconds
2mins= 60x2 = 120 seconds
Using our formula (work done=power x time) we simply put in the values
work done = 4500 x 120
work done = 540,000J
(c) is the correct choice.
El Nino (a), Earth's orbit (b), and solar energy output (d) are all "natural" occurrences. You can't do a thing aboutum.
Fossil fuels ... or, more precisely, humanity's use of vast quantities of fossil fuels as a convenient source of huge quantities of energy ... and the subsequent increase of Carbon Dioxide in the planet's atmosphere, is not the result of "natural" processes. It's the result of human efforts to <em>alter and control</em> Nature, through <em>artificial</em> processes.
Answer:
Explanation:
When a spring is compressed, the force exerted by the spring is given by:
where
k is the spring constant
x is the compression of the spring
In this problem we have:
k = 52 N/m is the spring constant
x = 43 cm = 0.43 m is the compression
Therefore, the force exerted by the spring on the dart is
Now we can apply Newton' second law of motion to calculate the acceleration of the dart:
where
F = 22.4 N is the force exerted on the dart by the spring
m = 75 g = 0.075 kg is the mass of the dart
a is its acceleration
Solving for a,
