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.

Two forces,one of 12 N and another of 24 N,act on a body in such a way that they make an angle of 90degree with each other.Find
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

26.83 N.

Explanation:

If the angle between two vector is 90°, to get the resultant, we use Pythagoras theorem.

a² = b²+c²......................... Equation 1

Where a = R = Resultant, b =  12 N, c = 24 N.

Substitute these values into equation 1

R² = 12²+24²

R² = 144+576

R² = 720

√R² = √720

R = 26.83 N.

Hence, the result of the two force is 26.83 N.

List and describe three biological applications of electricity
mihalych1998 [28]

Before we dive into how electricity is used around the home it is worth putting household electricity use in perspective.

Household electricity use generally makes up about a third of total electricity consumption  in most developed nations.  Using data from the European Union we can give an example of how electricity demand is split among different sectors.
