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.

Since, the options are not given the question is incomplete the complete question is as follows.:

Which of the following is a major way in which oceans contribute to weather systems?

provide a diverse habitat for many organisms

experience changes in amounts of dissolved salts

store and transport the Sun's heat energy

reach depths that can be as much as 12000 meters

Answer: Store and transport the Sun's heat energy.

Explanation:

Oceanic currents are just like a conveyor belt. It helps in transportation of the warm water and the precipitation from the equator to the poles and the cold water in the poles towards the tropics. This way the oceans counteract the uneven distribution of the radiation of sun that reaches upto the surface earth. This will regulate the global climate.

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a tower at the same instant a ball is droppedvertically. Which object is travelin

Igoryamba

The ball is travelling faster when the two objects hits the level ground below.

<h3>Time of motion of the objects</h3>

The time of motion of the objects depends on height and initial velocity of projection of the objects.

The stone has no initial vertical velocity while the ball has initial vertical velocity.

Thus, the ball is travelling faster when the two objects hits the level ground below.

To analyze the motion of a body that is traveling along a curved path, to determine the body's acceleration, velocity, and posit

DiKsa [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the kinematic equations of linear motion and centripetal motion. For this purpose we will be guided by the definitions of centripetal acceleration to relate it to the tangential velocity. With these equations we will also relate the linear velocity for which we will find the points determined by the statement. Our values are given as

$R = 350ft$
