It’s coming in contact with more air molecules than I would if it was in a ball because there is less surface area
Answer:
vT = v0/3
Explanation:
The gravitational force on the satellite with speed v0 at distance R is F = GMm/R². This is also equal to the centripetal force on the satellite F' = m(v0)²/R
Since F = F0 = F'
GMm/R² = m(v0)²/R
GM = (v0)²R (1)
Also, he gravitational force on the satellite with speed vT at distance 3R is F1 = GMm/(3R)² = GMm/27R². This is also equal to the centripetal force on the satellite at 3R is F" = m(vT)²/3R
Since F1 = F'
GMm/27R² = m(vT)²/3R
GM = 27(vT)²R/3
GM = 9(vT)²R (2)
Equating (1) and (2),
(v0)²R = 9(vT)²R
dividing through by R, we have
9(vT)² = (v0)²
dividing through by 9, we have
(vT)² = (v0)²/9
taking square-root of both sides,
vT = v0/3
A c and e are correct but b and d are incorrect. i hope this helped
