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

Physics

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

Suppose that a spring with a larger spring constant was used in this same apparatus. If a given mass were rotated at the same ra
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The new period of rotation using the new spring would be less than the period of rotation using the original spring

Explanation:

Generally the  period of rotation of the mass is mathematically represented as

       T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{k} }

Here I is the moment of inertia of the mass about the rotation axis and  k is the spring constant

Now looking at the equation we can tell that T is inversely proportional to the square root of the spring constant which means that for a larger spring constant the time period would be lesser

If an object is propelled upward from a height of 128 feet at an initial velocity of 112 feet per​ second, then its height h aft
Marina CMI [18]

Explanation:

The equation of motion of an object is given by :

h(t)=-16t^2+112t+128

Where

t is the time in seconds

We need to find the time when the object hits the ground. When the object hits the ground, h(t) = 0

So,

-16t^2+112t+128=0

-t^2+7t+8=0

On solving above equation using online calculator, t = 8 seconds. So, the object hit the ground after 8 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from _____. the moon's gravitational attraction the sun plate movement the wind
IrinaVladis [17]
Hello!

Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from the wind.

Ocean waves are surface waves that move across the surface of the ocean. When wind touches the surface of the water, there is friction in the contact zone. This friction causes a drag effect, that makes wrinkles on the surface of the water. As the wrinkles get bigger, they transform into full-blown waves, and the taller the wave, the more energy it can extract from the wind, making them even bigger and to move longer distances. 

Have a nice day!
