The acceleration due to gravity is g/4

The acceleration above the earth surface is given by the relation

g^'=gr^2/〖(h+r)〗^2

Since the satellite orbits the earth in a orbit of radius equal to earth radius, therefore

g^'=(gr^2)/〖(r+r)〗^2 =g/4

Thus the acceleration due to gravity on the satellite is g/4.

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

the answer is B, stability

Explanation:

A traditional economy is a system that is based on honorable customs, history, and beliefs. Tradition guides economic decisions, such as production and distribution. Traditional economies depend on agriculture, fishing, hunting, gathering or some combination above. They use exchange instead of money. Most traditional economies operate in emerging markets and developing countries. They are often in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. But you can find scholarships from traditional economies scattered all over the world. Economists and anthropologists believe that all other economies started out as traditional economies. Thus, they expect the remaining traditional economies to evolve into market, command or mixed economies over time.
