How do satellites stay in orbit?

2 answers:

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.

Answer:

The fish displacement was -3.4 m

Explanation:

Distance and Displacement

A moving object constantly travels some distance at defined periods of time. The total moved distance is the sum of each individual distance the object traveled. It can be written as:

dtotal=d1+d2+d3+...+dn

This sum is obtained independently of the direction the object moves.

The displacement only takes into consideration the initial and final points of the path defined by the object in its moving. The displacement, unlike distance, is a vectorial magnitude and can be even zero if the object starts and ends the movement at the same point.

The displacement, when the object moves in one axis only is given by:

d = final position - initial position

We know the fist started at 7.8 m from a given reference along the x-axis.

After some undisclosed movements, it ends up at the position 4.4 m. Thus, the displacement is:

d = 4.4 m - 7.8 m = -3.4 m

This means the fish ended up to the left of the position it started from.

The fish displacement was -3.4 m

Topic Gravitational force amd firld strength.. help me please

I am Lyosha [343]

The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂ has magnitude

$F_{1,2} = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{x^2}$

while the gravitational force between m₁ and m₃ has magnitude

$F_{1,3} = \dfrac{Gm_1m_3}{(15-x)^2}$

where x is measured in m.

The mass m₁ is attracted to m₂ in one direction, and attracted to m₃ in the opposite direction such that m₁ in equilibrium. So by Newton's second law, we have

$F_{1,2} - F_{1,3} = 0$

Solve for x :

$\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{x^2} = \dfrac{Gm_1m_3}{(15-x)^2} \\\\ \dfrac{m_2}{x^2} = \dfrac{m_3}{(15-x)^2} \\\\ \dfrac{(15-x)^2}{x^2} = \dfrac{m_3}{m_2} = \dfrac{60\,\rm kg}{40\,\rm kg} = \dfrac32 \\\\ \left(\dfrac{15-x}x\right)^2 = \dfrac32 \\\\ \left(\dfrac{15}x-1\right)^2 = \dfrac32 \\\\ \dfrac{15}x - 1 = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac32} \\\\ \dfrac{15}x = 1 \pm \sqrt{\dfrac32} \\\\ x = \dfrac{15}{1\pm\sqrt{\dfrac32}}$

The solution with the negative square root is negative, so we throw it out. The other is the one we want,

$x \approx 6.74\,\mathrm m$

What is induced current

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

A current can be induced in a conducting loop if it is exposed to a changing magnetic field. ... In other words, if the applied magnetic field is increasing, the current in the wire will flow in such a way that the magnetic field that it generates around the wire will decrease the applied magnetic field.
