All satellite eventually lose their orbital energy and plummet to earth because of______.

Physics
1 answer:
Softa [21]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

gravity

Explanation:

Even when satellites are thousands of miles away, Earth's 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.

In an experiment, students measure the position x of a cart as a function of time t for a cart that starts at rest and moves wit
Minchanka [31]

Given :

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s² .

To Find :

The acceleration of the cart.

Solution :

Since, acceleration is constant.

Using equation of motion :

x = ut + \dfrac{at^2}{2}\\\\x = \dfrac{at^2}{2}

Putting, t = 1 s  and x = 4 m in above equation, we get :

4 = \dfrac{a(1)^2}{2}\\\\a = 8 \  m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the cart is 8 m/s².

A sled is slowing down at the bottom of a snowy hill.
Kitty [74]

Answer:

A sled and its rider are moving at a speed of along a horizontal stretch of snow, as Figure 4.24a illustrates. The snow exerts a kinetic frictional force on the runners of the sled, so the sled slows down and eventually comes to a stop. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.050. What is the displacement x of the sled?

if you push your chair across the floor at a constant velocity how does the force of friction compare with the force you exert?
Alik [6]
-- If velocity is constant, then there is no net force
on the chair.

-- If there is no net force on the chair, then friction
must exactly balance out your push.

-- The force of friction is exactly equal in magnitude
to your push, and in exactly the opposite direction.

The vapor pressure of benzene, C6H6, is 40.1 mmHg at 7.6°C. What is its vapor pressure at 60.6°C? The molar heat of vaporization
ANEK [815]

Answer:

The vapor pressure at 60.6°C is 330.89 mmHg

Explanation:

Applying Clausius Clapeyron Equation

ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1}) = \frac{\delta H}{R}[\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2}]

Where;

P₂ is the final vapor pressure of benzene = ?

P₁ is the initial vapor pressure of benzene = 40.1 mmHg

T₂ is the final temperature of benzene = 60.6°C = 333.6 K

T₁ is the initial temperature of benzene = 7.6°C = 280.6 K

ΔH is the molar heat of vaporization of benzene = 31.0 kJ/mol

R is gas rate = 8.314 J/mol.k

ln(\frac{P_2}{40.1}) = \frac{31,000}{8.314}[\frac{1}{280.6}- \frac{1}{333.6}]\\\\ln(\frac{P_2}{40.1}) = 3728.65 (0.003564 - 0.002998)\\\\ln(\frac{P_2}{40.1}) = 3728.65  (0.000566)\\\\ln(\frac{P_2}{40.1}) = 2.1104\\\\\frac{P_2}{40.1} = e^{2.1104}\\\\\frac{P_2}{40.1} = 8.2515\\\\P_2 = (40.1*8.2515)mmHg = 330.89 mmHg

Therefore, the vapor pressure at 60.6°C is 330.89 mmHg

the temperature of a 2.0-kg increases by 5*c when 2,000 J of thermal energy are added to the block. What is the specific heat of
nata0808 [166]
To calculate the specific heat capacity of an object or substance, we can use the formula

c = E / m△T

Where
c as the specific heat capacity,
E as the energy applied (assume no heat loss to surroundings),
m as mass and
△T as the energy change.

Now just substitute the numbers given into the equation.

c = 2000 / 2 x 5
c = 2000/ 10
c = 200

Therefore we can conclude that the specific heat capacity of the block is 200 Jkg^-1°C^-1
