Why are satellites placed into orbit at least 150 km above Earth’s surface?

Physics
2 answers:
eduard3 years ago

The correct answer is to avoid air resistance

Satellites are moving in the orbit because of the initial force that was applied through the rockets. Now for the satellites to remain in orbit there should not be any friction. As air resistance is also friction that is provided by air, the satellites are 150KM above the surface to avoid air resistance

Dacia asks katarina to tell her What the values of the Y or that can make sin
ololo11 [35]

Katarina is right. The explanation correct is because r is a distance and always positive, from she can see that when y is negative, sinθ is also negative.

<h3>What is the explanation for the above?</h3>

For every interval of odd multiple of π, to next even multiple of π, sinθ will be negative.

Mathematically,

Sin θ will be negative in

[(2n +1)π, (2n + 2)π]

Where, n is any integer (Positive or negative).

Hence, it is right to state that Katarina is right. The explanation correct is because r is a distance and always positive, from she can see that when y is negative, sinθ is also negative.

A seesaw is 4.0m long with a pivot at its midpoint. A boy who weighs 400N sits at a distance of 1.5m from the pivot. His sister
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the seesaw, L = 4.0 m

weight of the boy, W₁ = 400 N

position of the boy from the pivot, d₁ = 1.5 m

weight of her sister, W₂ = 300 N

First, make a sketch of this information given;

                 0---0.5m---------------------Δ--------------------------4m

                         ↓<--------1.5m-------> <---------x--------->↓

                        400 N                                          300N

Apply the principle of moment about the pivot, to determine the value of x;

Sum of anticlockwise moment = sum of clockwise moment

400(1.5) = 300(x)

600 = 300x

x = 600/300

x = 2 cm

Thus, the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.
