Explanation : We know that two forces acting on the satellite.

The speed of the satellite and the force of the gravity on the satellite then the result , the satellite moves around the earth in a circular motion.

A satellite to move tangentially to a circular path, while revolving around the circular path because the centripetal force is acting on it.

So, we can say gravity is responsible for the motion of the satellite in a circular path.

Answer: tangential velocity


The tangential velocity is the velocity the body presents at a given moment of time when describing a circular movement, taking into account its direction, as well as the radius by which it is traveling in a particular fraction of its trajectory.

To calculate tangential velocity, it is possible to take the <u>angular velocity</u> as a reference, nevertheless it is necessary to understand that it can be <u>constant</u>, while the tangential velocity can vary at each step, given the alterations of the path.

This is possible because movement of a satellite around the planet Earth is a good example of uniform circular motion, which is characterized by the movement of a body describing a circumference of a given radius with constant speed.

Therefore in this movement the velocity has a constant magnitude, but its direction varies continuously.

tatuchka [14]

Explanation:

Resistors connected in series obey the following equation:

R_{\rm eq} = R_1 + R_2 + R_3 + ...

Resistors connected in parallel obey the following equation:

\frac{1}{R_{\rm eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} + ...

The total current of the circuit will obey the Ohm's Law: V = IR. And the current will be divided across the resistors (bulbs) depending on their resistances. So, if a bulb has a higher resistance, then its current will be lesser, and it will be less bright. If a bulb has a lower resistance, then its current will be higher, and it will be brighter.

According to the above resistances connected in series and parallel, clearly, the resistances (bulbs) connected in series will have more resistance in total, and therefore less current will flow across them, and they will be less bright.
