Maintaining an orbit has nothing to do with the satellite's speed.
ANY (tangential) speed is enough to stay in orbit, if the satellite
just stays away from Earth's atmosphere.

If the satellite completely stops moving 'sideways' at all, and just
hangs there, then the forces of gravity between the satellite and
the Earth will pull them together ... the satellite will fall into the
atmosphere and then to the ground.

You are an electrician installing the wiring in a new home. The homeowner desires that a ceiling fan with light kits be installe
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

3 fans per 15 A circuit

Explanation:

From the question and the data given, the light load let fan would have been

(60 * 4)/120 = 240/120 = 2 A.

Next, we add the current of the fan motor to it, so,

2 A + 1.8 A = 3.8 A.

Since the devices are continuos duty and the circuit current must be limited to 80%, then the Breaker load max would be

0.8 * 15 A = 12 A.

Now, we can get the number if fans, which will be

12 A/ 3.8 A = 3.16 fans, or approximately, 3 fans per 15 A circuit.
