Cause and Effect: What would happen to a space vehicle in orbit around Earth if it sped up?

Physics
1 answer:
gulaghasi [49]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

G M m / R^2 = m v^2 / R     gravitational force = centripetal force

G M = v^2 R   =    constant

As v increases R will must decrease

Take the moon as an example

S = 2 pi R   where R is about 240,000 miles for one orbit

S / 1 day = 54,000 miles/day  for a 28 day circuit

S / 1 hr = 54000 / 24 = 2200 mph  which is much less than a satellite in orbit

OlgaM077 [116]
Well if you had either the velocity or distance traveled i could tell you. But since you haven't all i can say for sure is that the water slowed the bullet down to 13m/s so lets say you knew the distance you would calculate how many meters it traveled and you would have your answer because in this situation, meters (height) =how many seconds spent going into the air.

Early humans used rocks as tools to make other things as well as to construct buildings. Why was it better for them to use rocks
babymother [125]
Wood isn't as tough as rock. Wood also breaks down in weather and cracks under pressure. Plus rocks were more accessible.

Answer:

  the speed of the center of mass stays the same

Explanation:

In a system with no energy loss, momentum is conserved if the mass remains constant. The system described has no change in mass, and energy loss is considered negligible. Hence the product of the total mass and the velocity of its center will be a constant. The center of mass stays the same speed.

Why are such scientific advances still valuable?
Sergeu [11.5K]
Because the more advances made in the world means the more we can learn on how things work and how we can better the lives of humans and other species. If we didn't have scientific advancements we wouldn't have cell phones, electric, tv, car, computers, ect. We would still be living in Cave man era with clubs and horrible language skills.
