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.

Answer:

18 radians

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Torque = Force × Moment arm

= 1N × 1M

= 1N-M

Torque = $I\alpha$

$\alpha = \frac{torque}{I}\\\\= \frac{1}{100}\\\\= 0.01 rad/s^2$

Now

$\theta = w_ot + \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2\\\\w_o = 0\\\\\theta = 0 \times 60 + \frac{1}{2} \times 0.01 \times 60^2\\\\= 18\ radians$

Here t = 1 minutes = 60 seconds

tino4ka555 [31]

W = F * s
Here, F = 50 N
s = 15 m

Substitute their values,
W = 50 * 15
W = 750 J

In short, Your Answer would be 750 Joules

Hope this helps!

If a substance is found to be reactive flammable soluble and explosive what observation is also a physical property

Ainat [17]

Answer:

soluble

Explanation:

Chemical properties only manifest when a chemical reaction occurs. Being reactive, flammable and explosive are chemical properties, because they involve chemical reactions: the substances are changed; the chemical bonds of some substances, called reactants, are broken, and the chemical bonds are created, forming other substances, called products.

Solubility is a physical property because during dissolution no new substances are formed. You can prove it when the solvent evaporates leaving behind the same original substance.

The the observation that the substance is soluble is describing a physical property.
