Answer:

Two things can happen to old satellites: For the closer satellites, engineers will use its last bit of fuel to slow it down so it will fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere. Further satellites are instead sent even farther away from Earth.

Which statement is true about a planet’s orbital motion?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Explanation:

The gravitational force is responsible for the orbital motion of the planet, satellite, artificial satellite, and other heavenly bodies in outer space.

When an object is applied with a velocity that is equal to the velocity of the orbit at that location, the body continues to move forward. And, this motion is balanced by the gravitational pull of the second object.

The orbiting body experience a centripetal force that is equal to the gravitational force of the second object towards the body.

The velocity of the orbit is given by the relation,

                                    V = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R + h} }

Where

                   V - velocity of the orbit at a height h from the surface

                    R - Radius of the second object

                    G - Gravitational constant

                    h - height from the surface

The body will be in orbital motion when its kinetic motion is balanced by gravitational force.

                         1/2 mV^{2} = GMm/R

Hence, the orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

interval (from lowering the body to his feet taking off) lasts for 0.3 s and the mass of the player is 90 kg. Ignore air resista
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The force applied to the surface is 9 kilo Newton.

Explanation:

While jumping on the surface the player applies the force that is equal to its weight on the surface.

The mass of the player is given as 90 kg.

Force applied by the player = weight of the player

Force applied by the player = m × g

Where m is the mass of the player and g is acceleration due to gravity

Force applied by the player = 90 × 9.8

Force applied by the player = 882 Newton

Expressing your answer to one significant figure, we get

Force applied by the player =0. 9 kilo Newton

The force applied to the surface is 0.9 kilo Newton.
