C. easier to build than a refracting telescope
Big mirrors used in reflecting telescopes are easier and cheaper to make than big lenses which would cost more because of the quality of glass required to make refracting telescopes
Well if its a solid that your heating up then it would closely resemble a liquid and a gas. would be able to give a better answer if you provided more information
(a) What is
the potential energy: PE = -G * M * m/r
Where: M is the mass of the earth which is 5.98 * 10^24 kg.
m is the mass of the satellite.
r is the space from the center of the earth to the satellite
To conclude this distance add the radius of the earth to the
altitude. Radius of the earth is 6.38 * 10^6 meters.
r = 6.38 * 10^6 + 2.02 * 10^6 = 8.38 * 10^6
PE = 6.67 * 10^-11 * 5.98 * 10^24 * 99/8.38 * 10^6 =
4.71240095 * 10^9 J
(b) magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the
Earth
Fg = G * M * m/r^2
Fg = 6.67 * 10^-11 * 5.98 * 10^24 * 99/(8.38 * 10^6)^2 =
562.3078873 N
(c) There are no other forces that the satellite exert on
the Earth. So therefore, it is 0.
Because the ball is a sphere and there's nothing that can actually stop a sphere unless you cover it with something that will actually stop it, for example like your hand.
