Why doesn’t an orbiting satellite fall back to earth?

The reason satellites don’t fall from the sky is because they are orbiting Earth. Even though the satellites are thousands of miles away, Earths gravity still tugs on them. Gravity combined with the satellite's momentum from its launch into space, cause the satellite to go into orbit above Earth instead of falling back down to the ground.
P.S sorry if this isn’t the answer you were looking for have a good day

A man starts from rest and accelerates at 4.00 m/s2. If he covers a distance of 525 m, how long does he accelerate?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

16.2 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 525 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 4.00 m/s²

Find: t

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

525 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (4.00 m/s²) t²

t = 16.2 s

A simple gaussmeter for measuring horizontal magnetic fields consists of a stiff 52 cm wire that hangs from a conducting pivot s

vivado [14]

Answer:

8.1345°

Explanation:

We apply $\sum F_x=0$ to the wire to obtain:

$\sum F_x=-F_m+mg\ sin \theta=0$

#The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the wire is given by:

$F_m=IlB\ sin \phi, \phi=90\textdegree\\\\F_m=IlB$

#Substitute for $F_m$ to obtain:

$-IlB+mg\ sin \ \theta=0\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...i$

Solve for $\theta$ :

$\theta=sin^{-1}[\frac{IlB}{mg}]$

We the substitute the numerical values to calculate the equilibrium angular displacement:

$\theta= sin^{-1}[\frac{0.2A\times0.52m\times 0.040T}{0.003\ kg\times9.8m/s^2}]\\\\=8.1345\textdegree$

Hence, the equilibrium angular displacement of the wire from vertical if the horizontal magnetic field is 8.1345°
