Which term describes the object that a satellite revolves around?

Physics

The object that a satellite revolves around is the <em>central body</em> of the system. <em>(C)</em>

For example:

-- The central body of the solar system is the Sun.

-- The central body for TV satellites, GPS satellites, weather satellites, and the International Space Station is the Earth.

-- The central body for Phobos and Deimos is Mars.

This should be a pretty easy question to answer by elimination, when you notice that "Orbit", "Period", and "Rotation" are not "Bodies".

Adhira loves to ride her bike around the neighborhood. She starts riding 1.2 miles at 30° S of E. Then, she rides another 2.0 mi
zepelin [54]

Answer:

D = 1.8677 miles , θ = 24.28º at South of West

Explanation:

This is an exercise in adding vectors, the easiest way to solve them is to decompose the vectors and add each component algebraically. Let's use trigonometry

first displacement. d = 1.2 miles to 30º south of East

     cos ( 360-30) = cos (-30) = x₁ / d

     sin (-30) = y₁ / d

     x₁ = d cos (-30)

     y₁ = d sin (-30)

     x₁ = 1.2 cos (-30) = 1,039 miles

     y₁ = 1.2 sin (-30) = -0.6 miles

second shift. d = 2.0 miles to 20º West of South

       cos (270-20) = x₂ / d

       cos (250) = y₂ / d

       x₂ = 2.0 cos 250 = -0.684 miles

       y₂ = 2.0 sin250 = -1.879 miles

Third displacement. d = 1.6 miles to 30º South of West

       cos (180 + 30) = x₃ / d

       sin (210) = y₃ / d

       x₃ = 1.6 cos 210 = -1.3856 miles

       y₃ = 1.6 sin 210 = -0.8 miles

Fourth displacement. d = 2.6 miles to 15º West of North

       cos (90 + 15) = x₄ / d

       sin (105) = y₄ / d

       x₄ = 2.6 cos 105 = -0.6729 miles

       y₄ = 2.6 sin 105 = 2,511 miles

having all the components we add

x-axis  (West-East direction)

       X = x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + x₄

       X = 1.039 -0.684 - 1.3846 - 0.6729

       X = -1.7025 miles

   

       Y = y₁ + y₂ + y₃ + y₄

       Y = -0.6 -1.879 -0.8 +2.511

       Y = -0.768

The modulus of this displacement is we use the Pythagorean theorem

      D = √ (X² + Y²)

      D = √ (1.7025² + 0.768²)

      D = 1.8677 miles

let's use trigonometry to find the direction

       tan θ = Y / X

       θ = tan⁻¹ Y / x

       θ = tan⁻¹ (0.768 / 1.7025)

       θ = 24.28º

as the two components are negative this angle is in the third quadrant

therefore in cardinal direction form is

         θ = 24.28º at South of West

The sum of all forces acting on an object
Zina [86]

Answer:

The net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object. That is to say, the net force is the sum of all the forces, taking into account the fact that a force is a vector and two forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction will cancel each other out.

Explanation:

As a vector, displacement has which qualities? magnitude only, direction only, magnitude and direction, neither magnitude or dir
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
In physical science, there are two types of quantity: scalar and vector. While scalar quantities only include the magnitude, vector quantities include both the magnitude and the direction. Displacement is an example of vector quantities. Therefore, it includes magnitude and direction.
