Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

As we know

Gravitational Constant (G) = 6.67*10^{11}

Mass of Earth (M) = 5.98*10^{24}

Weight of satellite (m) = 10,000 Kg

Radius of Earth (R) = 6.378*10^6

Distance of satellite from Earth = \frac{GMm}{R} - U

Substituting the given values, we get

D=\frac{(-((6.67*10^{11})(5.98*10^{24})(10000))}{(6.378*10^6)} - (-5.58*10^{11})\\\\0.625*10^{3}Km

or 635 m

The correct answer is option D

allsm [11]

Answer: The movement of tectonic plates

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are the part of the earth's crust that both the ocean and land rest on. These plates are constantly moving as a result of currents in the mantle.

These movements cause stress on the surface which has the effect of fracturing rocks and thereby creating/ forming faults in the earth's crust. Sometimes faults form when these plates move away from each other and sometimes they are formed when they push into each other.

While discussing what affects the amount of pressure exerted by the brakes: Technician A says that the shorter the line, the mor
harina [27]

Answer:

Only Technician B is right.

Explanation:

The cylindrical braking system for a car works through the mode of pressure transmission, that is, the pressure applied to the brake pedals, is transmitted to the brake pad through the cylindrical piston.

Pressure applied on the pedal, P(pedal) = P(pad)

And the Pressure is the applied force/area for either pad or pedal. That is, P(pad) = Force(pad)/A(pad) & P(pedal) = F(pedal)/A(pedal)

If the area of piston increases, A(pad) increases and the P(pad) drops, Meaning, the pressure transmitted to the pad reduces. And for most cars, there's a pressure limit for the braking system to work.

If the A(pad) increases, P(pad) decreases and the braking force applied has to increase, to counter balance the dropping pressure and raise it.

This whole setup does not depend on the length of the braking lines; it only depends on the applied force and cross sectional Area (size) of the piston.
