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

Physics
1 answer:
horsena [70]3 years ago
3 0
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

3. The nuclear potential that binds protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom

is often approximated by a square well. Imagine a proton confined in an infinite

square well of length 10−5 nm, a typical nuclear diameter. Calculate the wavelength

and energy associated with the photon that is emitted when the proton undergoes a

transition from the first excited state (n = 2) to the ground state (n = 1). In what

region of the electromagnetic spectrum does this wavelength belong?

Answer 3

We are given that,

Length of square well = L = 10−5

nm = 10−14 m.

Energy of proton in state n is given by,

En =
