the Orbital Velocity is the velocity sufficient to cause a natural or artificial satellite to remain in orbit. Inertia of the moving body tends to make it move on in a straight line, while gravitational force tends to pull it down. The orbital path, elliptical or circular, representing a balance between gravity and inertia, and it follows a rue that states that the more massive the body at the centre of attraction is, the higher is the orbital velocity for a particular altitude or distance.
This question is poorly stated, but I assume you mean what conditions are needed. It would have to be cold outside, correct?
Answer: 20.4m
Explanation:
Mass = 0.145kg
Initial velocity, Vi =20m/s
Initial kinetic energy K =1/2mv^2
Initial potential energy Ui = mgx = 0joules
: From conservation of energy,
Uf + Kf = Ui + Ki ( where f represent (final) )
Thus
mgXf + 0 = 0+1/2 mv^2
Xf = Vi^2/ 2g
= (20m/s) ^2/ 2(9.81m/s)^2
=20.4m
