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 "

Answer:

Explanation:

Samantha walks along a horizontal path in the direction shown the curved path is a semi circle with a radius of 2 m while the horizontal part is for me what is the magnitude of displacement

Displacement is given by the straight line distance between P and Q. Displacement will be length of straight line joining P and Q

a semi circle with a radius of 2 m

Length of this straight line=4+diameter

=4+(2*2)

=8 m

A certain spring stores 10.0J of potential energy when it isstretched by 2.00cm from its equilibrium position.How much potential
qaws [65]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

x= 0.02 m

E_p= 10.0 J

E_p= 0.5kx^2

10= 0.5k(0.02)^2

solving we get

K= 50.0 N/m

Now

E'_p= 0.5kx'^2

E'_p= 0.5×50×(0.04)^2

E'_p=40 J

b) potential energy is a scalar quantity and it only depends magnitude and not direction so it will remain same in compression and expansion both

c) 20 J = 0.5×50,000×x^2

solving

x= 0.028 m

d) k is 50.0 N/m  from above calculation

The graph below represents the motion of four cars, labeled W, X, Y, and Z.
ycow [4]

Answer:

Answer is A

Explanation:

As we know , for constant velocity we get a straight line.

The formula for this problem is s = vt which is similar to a straight line formula like y = mx + c.

If we put here c = 0 we get the formula for distance and velocity.

So the answer is A.

What makes output energy less than input energy?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

part of input energy is wasted

it is used to increase the entropy of the surrounding

therefore the useful energy output is necessarily smaller than the energy input

in other words the efficiency of heat engine is always less than hundred percent

Many people love roller coasters. Some people call them scream machines. They agree that
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

There is some sort of "rollers" on the trail part that is used to make the roller coaster move when it is going up. Then because of that, the speed gets quicker when it drops down, so then it could move for a longer time until it reaches the next arch.

Explanation:

hope this helps :)
