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.

What is the difference between a free body diagram and a vector diagram?​
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Free body diagrams are used to describe situations where several forces act on an object. On the other hand Vector diagrams are used to resolve (break down) a single force into two forces acting as right angles to eachother

A block of wood measuring 2.75 cm x 4.80 cm x 7.50 cm has a mass of 84.0 g. will the block of wood sink or float in water?
KIM [24]
The volume of the block of wood is given by length × width ×height
 = 2.75 × 4.80 × 7.5
 = 99 cm³
Density is given by mass/volume
Thus = 84.0 g/ 99 cm³
         = 0.848 g/cm³
Hence;  since the block is less dense than water (1 g/cm³) it will float

The motion of a particle along a straight line is described by the equation x=6+4t2 -t 4 , where x is in meter and t is in secon
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The position of the particle is 6m

The velocity of the particle is 16 m/s in negative direction

The acceleration of the object is -40 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

motion of the particle along a straight line as x = 6 + 4t² - t⁴

The position of the object when t = 2s

x = 6 + 4(2)² - (2)⁴

x = 6 + 16 - 16

x = 6m

The velocity of the object when t = 2s

Velocity = dx/dt

dx/dt = 8t - 4t³

when t = 2s

Velocity = 8(2) - 4(2)³

Velocity = 16 - 32

Velocity = -16m/s

Velocity = 16 m/s (in negative direction)

The acceleration of the object when t = 2s

Acceleration = d²x/dt² = 8 - 12t²

Acceleration = 8 - 12 (2)²

Acceleration =  -40 m/s²
