How do satellites stay in orbit?

Physics

Answer:A satellite maintains its orbit by balancing two factors its velocity the speed it takes to travel in a straight line and the gravitational pull that Earth has on it. A satellite orbiting closer to the Earth requires more velocity to resist the stronger gravitational pull.

A + 8 μC charge lies 4 m to the left of a - 10 μC charge. A - 12 μC charge lies 8 m to its right. What is the resultant force on
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

both side charges will exert force on central charge towards left so the two forces add up. Thus resultant force on centre charge is

F = 9×10^9 x 8×10^-6×10×10^-6/16

+

9× 10^9 × 10×10^-6×12×10^-6/64

= 9× 10^9 × 10^ -12/16 (80+30)

=6.18 × 10^-2 N

or

= 0.06 N

The dimensions of aluminum foil in a box for sale in super markets are 66 2/3 yards by 12 inches. the mass of the foil is 0.83 k
disa [49]

Length of the sheet is given as

L = \frac{200}{3} yards = 6096 cm

width of the sheet is given as

w = 12 inches = 30.48 cm

now let say its thickness is "t"

so the volume of the sheet is given as

V = L*w*t

V = 6096*30.48* t

V = 185806.08*t cm^3

mass of the sheet is given as

m = 0.83 kg = 830 gram

now we have

density = \frac{mass}{volume}

2.70 = \frac{830}{185806.08*t}

by solving above we have

t = 1.65 * 10^{-3} cm

so the thickness of sheet will be above
