The equation for the speed of a satellite in a circular orbit around the earth depends on mass. Which mass?
katovenus [111]
<h3><u>Question: </u></h3>

The equation for the speed of a satellite in a circular orbit around the Earth depends on mass. Which mass?

a. The mass of the sun

b. The mass of the satellite

c. The mass of the Earth

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The equation for the speed of a satellite orbiting in a circular path around the earth depends upon the mass of Earth.

Option c

<h3><u> Explanation: </u></h3>

Any particular body performing circular motion has a centripetal force in picture. In this case of a satellite revolving in a circular orbit around the earth, the necessary centripetal force is provided by the gravitational force between the satellite and earth. Hence F_{G} = F_{C}.

Gravitational force between Earth and Satellite: F_{G} = \frac{G \times M_e \times M_s}{R^2}

Centripetal force of Satellite :F_C = \frac{M_s \times V^2}{R}

Where G = Gravitational Constant

M_e= Mass of Earth

M_s= Mass of satellite

R= Radius of satellite’s circular orbit

V = Speed of satellite

Equating  F_G = F_C, we get  

Speed of Satellite V =\frac{\sqrt{G \times M_e}}{R}

Thus the speed of satellite depends only on the mass of Earth.

Which observational tool helped astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discover the
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

A radio telescope helped the astronomers discover the CMB.

Explanation:

  • Penzias and Wilson while experimenting with a radio telescope in 1964, accidentally discovered the radiation that exists universally also known as the CMB.
  • This was used to support the "Big Bang Theory" and not the "Steady State Theory"
  • CMB is the faint cosmic radiation that fills up the universe. It provides important data for understanding early universe.
  • This data tells us about the composition of the universe and its age which raises new questions about the universe.

Is Radioactive decay a way to find the relative age of a rock?<br><br> True<br> False
galina1969 [7]
To establish the age of a rock or a fossil, researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was formed. Geologists commonly use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon, as reliable clocks to date ancient events.

Argue as to why drivint on icy or snowy roads can be dangerous
Vika [28.1K]
Icy/Snowy roads have less friction than normal roads. This means that the wheels are less likely to stay positioned because of traction, and you will spin out of control
