<h2>Answer:V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}  </h2>

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is <u>constant</u> and defined by the following expression:

V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}     (1)

Where:

G is the gravity constant

M the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting

R the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. I<u>t depends on the mass of the massive body.</u>

In addition, this orbital speed is constant because at all times <u>both the kinetic energy and the potential remain constant</u> in a circular (closed) orbit.

A boulder with a weight of 780 N is resting at the edge of a cliff that rises 123 m above the ground. What is the gravitational
-Dominant- [34]
Potential energy U = mgh

Given h = 123 m,
mg = F = 780 N

Then
U = (123)(780)
= 95940
= 9.59 x 10^4

A -0.06 charge that moves downward is in a uniform electric field with a strengthened of 200 N/C. What is the magnitude and dire
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 12 N Upwards

Explanation:

The force on a positive charge will be in the same direction as the field, but the force on a negative charge will be in the opposite direction to the field. Thus the direction of the force is upward.

Given;

magnitude of charge, q = 0.06 C

magnitude of electric field, E = 200 N/C

The magnitude of the force is given by;

F = qE

F = 0.06 x 200 N/C

F = 12 N Upwards

Therefore, the magnitude of the force is 12 N Upwards

Why is there an upward force on objects in water?
Paraphin [41]
If you'r referring to some objects, it means that the mass of the object is less than the water so it floats. If the mass of an object is greater than the mass of the water, it will sink. Compare it to a balloon, helium makes it rise, while normal air makes it sink.
