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.

Answer:

i. 0.34

ii. 0.4

iii. 1700 w/m²

iv. 2211.36 w/m²

Explanation:

Given that

Irradiation of the plate, G = 2500 w/m²

Reflected rays, p = 500 w/m²

Emissive power, E = 1200 w/m²

Gasoline burns in the cylinder of an automobile engine. During the combustion reaction, the production of gas forces the piston
serg [7]

Answer:

\Delta U = 1640 J

Explanation:

As we know by first law of thermodynamics that for ideal gas system we have

Heat given = change in internal energy + Work done

so here we will have

Heat given to the system = 2.2 kJ

Q = 2200 J

also we know that work done by the system is given as

W = 560 J

so we have

\Delta U = Q - W

\Delta U = 2200 - 560

\Delta U = 1640 J

An object has a velocity of 8 m/s and a kinetic energy of 480 j what is the mass of the object
dedylja [7]

We Know,

K.E. = 1/2 mv²

480 = 1/2 (m)(8)²

m = 960/64

m = 15 Kg

So, the mass of the object is 15 Kg
