How do satellites stay in orbit?

Physics
2 answers:
Vinil7 [7]3 years ago
6 0

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.) If its booster rockets accelerate the space shuttle at 15m/s2, how high will it be one minute after launch?
poizon [28]

Answer:

27,000 m

450 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the initial velocity is 0 m/s:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 15 m/s²

t = 60 s

A) Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (60 s) + ½ (15 m/s²) (60 s)²

Δy = 27,000 m

B) Find: v_avg

v_avg = Δy / t

v_avg = 27,000 m / 60 s

v_avg = 450 m/s

Jasmine is diving off a 3-meter springboard. her height in meters above the water when she is x meters horizontally from the end
olganol [36]

Answer:

5.25 m

Explanation:

Given;

The height equation h;

h=-x^2+3x+3

Where;

h = the height above water

x = horizontal distance from the end of the board

The maximum height is at h' = 0, when change in h with respect to change in x is equal to zero.

differentiating the equation h.

dh/dx = h' = -2x + 3 = 0

Solving for x;

2x = 3

x = 3/2

Substituting into the function h;

h max = -x^2+3x+3

h max = -(3/2)^2 + 3(3/2) +3 = -9/4 +9/2 +3 = 9/4 + 3 =

h max = 21/4 = 5.25 m
