a satellite maintains an orbit equidistant from the earth at all points along its orbital path hiw is the satellite affected by

the earths gravity

ANY closed orbit exists because of the centripetal force of gravity.
Without the force of gravity, the satellite would simply sail away
in a straight line.

The orbit you're describing happens to be a circular orbit, but it
doesn't have to be circular.

What is the acceleration of an object that goes from 45m/s to 10 m/s in 5 seconds?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf a= -7 \ m/s^2}}

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.

a= \frac {v_f-v_i}{t}

The object accelerates <em>from</em> 45 meters per second <em>to </em>10 meters per second in 5 seconds. Therefore,

v_f=10 \ m/s \\v_i= 45 \ m/s \\t= 5 \ s

Substitute the values into the formula.

a= \frac{ 10 \ m/s - 45 \ m/s}{5 \ s}

Solve the numerator.

a= \frac { -35 \ m/s}{5 \ s}

Divide.

a= -7 \ m/s/s

a= -7 \ m/s^2

The acceleration of the object is -7 meters per square second. The acceleration is negative because the object's velocity decreases and the object slows down.

Consider a model of a hydrogen atom in which an electron is in a circular orbit of radius r = 5.92×10−11 m around a stationary p
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

2.068 x 10^6 m / s

Explanation:

radius, r = 5.92 x 10^-11 m

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

As the electron is revolving in a circular path, it experiences a centripetal force which is balanced by the electrostatic force between the electron and the nucleus.

centripetal force = \frac{mv^{2}}{r}

Electrostatic force = \frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}

where, k be the Coulombic constant, k = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2 / C^2

So, balancing both the forces we get

\frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}=\frac{mv^{2}}{r}

v=\sqrt{\frac{kq^{2}}{mr}}

v=\sqrt{\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 5.92\times10^{-11}}}

v = 2.068 x 10^6 m / s

Thus, the speed of the electron is give by  2.068 x 10^6 m / s.

Fighter jet starting from airbase A flies 300 km east , then 350 km at 30° west of north and then 150km north to arrive finally
Tems11 [23]
A jet fighter flies from the airbase A 300 km East to the point M. Then 350 km at 30° West of North.
It means : at 60° North of West. So the distance from the final point to the line AM is :
350 · cos 60° = 350 · 0.866 = 303.1 km
Let`s assume that there is a line N on AM.
AN = 125 km and NM = 175 km.
And finally jet fighter flies 150 km North to arrive at airbase B.
NB = 303.1 + 150 = 453.1 km
Then we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
d ( AB ) = √(453.1² + 125²) = √(205,299.61 + 15,625) = 470 km
Also foe a direction: cos α = 125 / 470 = 0.266
α = cos^(-1) 0.266 = 74.6°
90° - 74.6° = 15.4°
Answer: The distance between the airbase A and B is 470 km.
Direction is : 15.4° East from the North.
