How do satellites stay in orbit?

Physics
2 answers:
Vinil7 [7]4 years ago

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.

The driver of a 1500 kg car, travelling on a highway, hits the brakes. A force of 12000 N stops the car in a distance of 64 m. h
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

v = 32 m/s

Explanation:

As per work energy theorem we know that work done by all the forces must be equal to change in kinetic energy of the car

So here when brakes are applied then work is done by the brakes which is equal to change in kinetic energy of the car

so we know that work done by the brakes is given as

W = -12000 \times 64

W = -768000 J

now we will have

W = 0 - \frac{1}{2}mv^2

-768000 = - \frac{1}{2}(1500) v^2

v = 32 m/s

A is 588N.

b) When she reaches her terminal speed, 10 seconds into the dive, she is no longer accelerating, so the net force on her is zero.
Think of it this way: If the net force were not zero she would continue to accelerate.

c) She is no longer accelerating.
Her acceleration is zero.

Two children stand on a platform at the top of a curving slide next to a backyard swimming pool. At the same moment the smaller
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

i )

In a conservative field like gravitational field , loss of potential energy  or work done , depends upon the initial and final point and not the manner in which 2 nd point has been reached . Since the initial and final point is same in both the cases of straight and curved path , final velocity will remain same for both of them .

Hence , due to increased mass of larger child , his kinetic energy will be greater .

ii ) Since the initial and final point is same in both the cases of straight and curved path , final velocity will remain same for both of them .

iii ) Smaller child undergo free fall , therefore , he will fall with acceleration g . The larger child falls on curved path . So , he will have only a component of

vertical g at any moment  . hence average acceleration  will be less.
