Two friends are having a conversation. Anna says a satellite in orbit is in freefall because the satellite keeps falling toward

Earth. Tom says a satellite in orbit is not in freefall because the acceleration due to gravity is not 9.80 m/2 . Who do you agree with and why?

Answer:

Anna is correct.

Explanation:

Anna is right as a satellite is in free fall because it keeps falling toward Earth, meaning that gravity is the only force acting on it. Tom is incorrect because an object does not have to accelerate at a certain speed to be considered to be in free fall. As long as gravity is the only force acting upon the object, it is considered to be in free fall.

soldier1979 [14.2K]
Not pushing yourself hard enough is the answer since your heart rate doesn't even hit your lower minimum.
Pushing yourself to the limit is at your max heart rate.
Just at the right spot is at your max heart rate.
Pushing yourself too hard is above your max heart rate.

An exoplanet is in an elliptical orbit around a distant star. At its closest approach, the exoplanet is 0.540 AU from the star a
atroni [7]

Answer:

0.71121 km/s

Explanation:

v_1 = Velocity of planet initially = 54 km/s

r_1 = Distance from star = 0.54 AU

v_2 = Final velocity of planet

r_2 = Final distance from star = 41 AU

As the angular momentum of the system is conserved

mv_1r_1=mv_2r_2\\\Rightarrow v_1r_1=v_2r_2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{v_1r_1}{r_2}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{54\times 0.54}{41}\\\Rightarrow v_2=0.71121\ km/s

When the exoplanet is at its farthest distance from the star the speed is 0.71121 km/s.
