Why does the satellite not fall while revolving the earth

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

Satellites don't fall from the sky because they are orbiting Earth. Even when satellites are thousands of miles away, Earth's gravity still tugs on them. Gravity--combined with the satellite's momentum from its launch into space--cause the satellite go into orbit above Earth, instead of falling back down to the ground.

A 1500kg car is at rest before it accelerates when the light turns green. If it covers 45.0 meters in 15.0 seconds, what is the

lana [24]

Answer:

300N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car = 1500kg

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Distance covered = 45m

Time = 15s

Unknown:

Net force applied = ?

Solution:

From Newton's second law:

Force = mass x acceleration

Force = mass x $\frac{v - u}{t}$

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

Final velocity = $\frac{45}{15}$ =3m/s

Force = 1500 x $\frac{3 - 0}{15}$ = 300N

A 12 volt car battery is connected to a 3 ohm brake light. What is the current carrying energy to the lights?

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

V = IR, where V=voltage, I=current, R=resistance. This is Ohm's Law. (remember that for units V = volts, Ω = ohms, A = amperes.)

V = IR

12 V = I * 3 Ω

12/3 = I
