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.

Jane has a mass of 55 kg and his body covers 700 nails with a surface area of 1.00 mm,

Oksana_A [137]

We have,

Jane mass is 55 kg
His body covered with 700 nails all of them having a surface area of 1.00 mm² each = 700 × 1 = 700 mm² = 700/1000000 = 7/10000

We know that,

Pressure = Force/Area

Let's calculate force as we already have area;

F = ma
F = 55 × 9.8 { Acceleration due to gravity }
F = 539 N

Now, if should she would be on 700 nails then pressure will be;

P = F/A
P = 539/7 × 10000
P = 5390000/7
P = 770,000 Pascal

And if should would be on a 1 nail only,

P = F/A
P = 539/1 × 1000000
P = 539000000 Pascal

As, you can notice yourself that the pressure will be so high with only 1 nail and because of this, nail will pass through jane's body.

A large box slides across a frictionless surface with a velocity of 12 m/s and a mass of 4

denpristay [2]

Answer= 8m/s

Because total Momentum before= total momentum after

Momentum before (p=mu)
p=(4)(12)= 48
p=2(0)=0
So total momentum before=48

Momentum after (p=mu)
Masses combined —2+4=6kg
p=6u

Mb=Ma
48=6u
u=8m/s
