Sattelites don't need any fuel to stay in orbit. The applicable law is...."objects in motion tend to stay in motion". Having reached orbital velocity, any such object is essentially "falling" around the earth. Since there is no (or at least very little) friction in the vacuum of space, the object does not slow.... It simply continues.
Sattelites in "low" earth orbit do encounter some friction from the very thin upper atmosphere, and they will eventually "decay".

Answer:
C) 3,000 kg m/s
Explanation:
We can consider the horizontal velocity of the motorcycle to be zero, since it rolls off the edge of the cliff very slowly. So, we only need to find the vertical velocity at the time of the impact with the ground.
The vertical velocity of the motorcycle at time t is given by (free-fall motion):
where
is the initial vertical velocity (zero, since the motorcycle is not moving)
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity
t is the time
Since the motorcycle hits the ground after t = 3 seconds, we have
And since we know its mass, m=100 kg, we can find its momentum:
and the negative sign simply means downward direction.
Answer:
The speed of the 11.5kg block after the collision is V≅4.1 m/s
Explanation:
ma= 4.8 kg
va1= 7.3 m/s
va2= - 2.5 m/s
mb= 11.5 kg
vb1= 0 m/s
vb2= ?
vb2= ( ma*va1 - ma*va2) / mb
vb2= 4.09 m/s ≅ 4.1 m/s
Answer:
$175
Explanation:
Insurance premium is expressed as a rate $1000
($3.50 per $1000)
Therefore;
Annual premium= $50000x$3.50/$1000
= $175
