PART A) Yes, the fact that there is a frictional force acting on the satellite generates a loss of energy due to friction. What causes satellite to diminish its orbit during its tour. In fact, many satellites have rectifier systems that allow them to position themselves and remain in their orbit for a long time to avoid being trapped by the Earth's gravity Force and fall into the atmosphere where they would probably be torn apart.

PART B) As a similarity, one could start by mentioning the structure of the two equations are similar and have their own constants who were responsible for supporting them. While the law of gravity speaks of the masses of the bodies the electrostatic law speaks of the charges of the bodies. For both the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

However, the most notable difference between them is basically their statement. While one of the equations speaks about greavedad the other reflects the electromagnetic phenomena. It should be noted that the force of gravity is much weaker than the electromagnetic force and that the latter has the capacity of attraction and repulsion. While the gravitational force only that of attraction.

On the decibel scale, an increase of 10 decibels means an intensity increase of __________times?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

The decibel or decibel, is a unit that relates two values ​​of sound pressure, and electrical power. the base unit is the bel, but given the amplitude but for practicality, a submultiple, the decibel, is used. It is a scalar expression .

Zero belios is the reference value used as a base, hence a bel is equivalent to 10 decibels and means that there is a power increase of 10 times over the reference value.

A positively charged particle of mass 7.2 x 10-8 kg is traveling due east with a speed of 88 m/s and enters a 0.6-T uniform magn
Marianna [84]

Answer:

q = 8.57 10⁻⁵ mC

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

         F = ma

where force is magnetic force

        F = q v x B

the bold are vectors, if we write the module of this expression we have

         F = qv B sin θ

as the particle moves perpendicular to the field, the angle is θ= 90º

        F = q vB

the acceleration of the particle is centripetal

        a = v² / r

we substitute

        qvB = m v² / r

         qBr = m v

          q =\frac{m\  v}{B\  r}

The exercise indicates the time it takes in the route that is carried out with constant speed, therefore we can use

          v = d / t

the distance is ¼ of the circle,

          d = \frac{1}{4} \  2\pi  r

           d =\frac{\pi }{2r}

we substitute

           v =  \frac{\pi  r}{2t}

           r = \frac{2 \ t  \ v}{\pi }

           

let's calculate

           r =\frac{2 \ 2.2  \ 10^{-3} \ 88}{\pi } 2 2.2 10-3 88 /πpi

           r = 123.25 m

         

let's substitute the values

           q = \frac{ 7.2 \ 10^{-8} \ 88}{ 0.6 \ 123.25}7.2 10-8 88 / 0.6 123.25

            q = 8.57 10⁻⁸ C

Let's reduce to mC

           q = 8.57 10⁻⁸ C (10³ mC / 1C)

           q = 8.57 10⁻⁵ mC

Vikki [24]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Below is Yoland's study:

<span>Yolanda is studying two waves. The first wave has an amplitude of 2 m, and the second has an amplitude of 3 m.
</span>
I think the answer is "She can use constructive interference to generate a wave with an amplitude of 1.5 m."
