94. The diagram shows the orbit of a satellite
1 answer:
Answer:
7.65x10^3 m/s
Explanation:
The computation of the satellite's orbital speed is shown below:
Given that
Earth mass, M_e = 5.97 × 10^24 kg
Gravitational constant, G = 6.67 × 10^-11 N·m^2/kg
Orbital radius, r = 6.80 × 10^6m
Based on the above information
the satellite's orbital speed is
V_o = √GM_e ÷ √r
= √6.67 × 10^-11 × 5.97 × 10^24 ÷ √6.80 × 10^6
= 7.65x10^3 m/s

Answer:
<em>The statement is true</em>
Explanation:
<u>Energy Conversion </u>
When an object starts to fall in free air, it speeds up as it falls. The force of gravity acting on the object causes energy to be transferred from its gravitational potential energy to its kinetic energy. We can safely say the height converts to speed and vice-versa. If no external forces act on the system, we can easily calculate heights and speeds by knowing the total mechanical energy (gravitational potential plus kinetic) is conserved.
