Answer:
True
Explanation:
When a satellite is orbiting the earth, the centripetal force is balanced by the gravitational force as :
...........(1)
Where
M is the mass of the earth
m is the mass of the planet
From equation (1), the speed of the satellite depends only on the mass of the earth and the orbital radius.
So, If a payload of material is added until it doubles the satellite's mass, the earth's pull of gravity on this satellite will double but the satellite's orbit will not be affected. It is true.

Correct answer is
just add the two kinetic energies;
E = (1/2)mv^2 + (1/2)mv^2</span>
Answer:
-2.5m/s²
Explanation:
The acceleration of a body is giving by the rate of change of the body's velocity. It is given by
a = Δv / t ----------------(i)
Where;
a = acceleration (measured in m/s²)
Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity (measure in m/s)
t = time taken for the change (measured in seconds(s))
From the question;
i. initial velocity = 5m/s
final velocity = 0 [since the body (ball) comes to rest]
Δv = 0 - 5 = -5m/s
ii. time taken = t = 2s
<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>
a = (-5m/s) / (2s)
a = -2.5m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is -2.5m/s²
NB: The negative sign shows that the ball was actually decelerating.
Answer:
B) with 9/10 submerged
Explanation:
= mass of ice cube
= density of soft drink
= Volume of soft drink displaced
ice cube floats in the soft drink when the force of buoyancy on it balances its weight. Force of buoyancy acting on the cube in upward direction is same as the weight of the soft drink displaced. hence we can write
weight of ice cube = weight of soft drink displaced
we see that the acceleration due to gravity cancel out both side and hence it does affect as astronaut is on earth on in a lunar module.
<span>The Earth’s internal "((HEAT))" source provides the energy for our dynamic planet, providing it with the driving force for on-going disastrous events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and for plate-tectonic motion. </span>
