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.

Answer: The earth's gravity keeps it in orbit. The satellite's velocity keeps it moving.

Using Excel, or some other graphing software, plot the values of y as a function of x. (You will not submit this spreadsheet. Ho
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a) > x<-c(1,2,3,4,5)

> y<-c(1.9,3.5,3.7,5.1,6)

> linearmodel<-lm(y~x)

And the output is given by:

> linearmodel

Call:

lm(formula = y ~ x)

Coefficients:

(Intercept)            x  

      1.10         0.98  

b) y = 0.98 x +1.10

And if we compare this with the general model y = mx +b

We see that the slope is m= 0.98 and the intercept b = 1.10

Explanation:

Part a

For this case we have the following data:

x: 1,2,3,4,5

y: 1.9,3.5,3.7,5.1, 6

For this case we can use the following R code:

> x<-c(1,2,3,4,5)

> y<-c(1.9,3.5,3.7,5.1,6)

> linearmodel<-lm(y~x)

And the output is given by:

> linearmodel

Call:

lm(formula = y ~ x)

Coefficients:

(Intercept)            x  

      1.10         0.98  

Part b

For this case we have the following trend equation given:

y = 0.98 x +1.10

And if we compare this with the general model y = mx +b

We see that the slope is m= 0.98 and the intercept b = 1.10

It says find the slope for each line I'm stuck on number one can you help me
Allushta [10]
\text{slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

(-2, -1)(3, 1)

Therefore,

\text{slope}=\frac{1-(-1)}{3-(-2)}=\frac{1+1}{3+2}=\frac{2}{5}

Deep in the interiors of the giant planets, water is still a liquid even though the temperatures are tens of thousands of degree
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

High pressure inside the giant planet

Explanation:

As we move in the interior of the giant planet, the pressure and temperature in the interior of the planet increases. Since, the giant planets have hardly any solid surface and thus they are mostly constituted of atmosphere.

Also, the gravitational forces keep even the lightest of the matter bound in it contributing to the large mass of the planet.

If we look at the order of the magnitude of the temperature of these giant planets than nothing should be able to stay in liquid form but as the depth of the planet increases with the increase in temperature, pressure also increases which keeps the particle of the matter in compressed form.

Thus even at such high order of magnitude water is still found in liquid state in the interior of the planet.
