The centripetal force acting on a satellite in orbit

Physics

krok68 [10]3 years ago

The centripetal force (of gravity) on a satellite in orbit is an
unbalanced force (because there's no equal force pulling
the satellite away from Earth), changes the direction of the
satellite (into a closed orbit instead of a straight line), and
always acts toward the center of whatever curve the satellite
happens to be on at the moment.

Answer : (D) " all of the above "

Explanation :

The forces acting on a satellite are Earth's gravitational force and centripetal force. The properties of centripetal force acting on a satellite in orbit are as follows :

(1) It acts as an unbalanced force on the satellite. This is due to the reason that there is no same force present which pulls the satellite away from the earth.

(2) It changes the direction of the satellite. The satellite is revolving with a constant speed while the direction is kept on changing (in a circular motion).

(3) Centripetal force always acts towards the center.

So, the correct option is (D) " all of the above "

A 2.74 g coin, which has zero potential energy at the surface, is dropped into a 12.2 m well. After the coin comes to a stop in
VikaD [51]

Answer:

B. - 0.328

Explanation

Potential Energy:<em> This is the energy of a body due to position.</em>

<em>The S.I unit of potential energy is Joules (J).</em>

<em>It can be expressed mathematically as</em>

<em>Ep = mgh........................... Equation 1</em>

<em>Where Ep = potential energy, m = mass of the coin, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity,</em>

<em>Given: m = 2.74 g = 0.00274 kg, h = 12.2 m, g = 9.8 m/s²</em>

Substituting these values into equation 1

Ep = 0.00274×12.2×9.8

Ep = 0.328 J.

Note: Since the potential energy at the surface is zero, the potential Energy with respect to the surface = -0.328 J

The right option is B. - 0.328

An object at rest does not _____ and an object in motion does not _____, unless an _____ force acts upon it
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

An object at rest does not move and an object in motion does not change its velocity, unless an external force acts upon it

Explanation:

This statement is also known as Newton's first law, or law of  inertia.

It states that the state of motion of an object can be changed only if there is an external force (different from zero) acting on it: therefore

- If an object is at rest, it will remain at rest if there is no force acting on it

- If an object is moving, it will continue moving at constant velocity if there is no force acting on it

This phenomenon can be also understood by looking at Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

If the net force is zero, F = 0, the acceleration of the object is also zero, a = 0: therefore, the velocity of the object does not change, and it will continue moving at the same velocity (which can be zero, if the object was at rest).

When you set something down on the ground wht kind of work are your arms doing?
umka2103 [35]
When we set something down on the ground, the kind of work that our arms doing is : negative apex
It's happen whenever we do works that are align with the force of Gravity (to the bottom)

hope this helps
