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.

Pedro picked up and held a cube of ice in his hand and noticed that he no longer felt a difference in temperature after the ice

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

the answers is 1.

Explanation:

this is because heat always travel's from the warmest object to the coldest. His hands thermal energy is transferred to the ice making the ice round to the same temperature of his hand. This can also be an example of equalibrum.

a rugby player passes the ball 5.34 m across the field, where it is caught at the same height as it left his hand. at what angle

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

$31.035^{\circ}$

Explanation:

x = Displacement in x direction = 5.34 m

t = Time taken to travel the displacement

y = Displacement in y direction = 0

u = Initial velocity of ball = 7.7 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

Displacement in x direction is given by

$x=u\cos\theta t\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{5.34}{7.7 \cos\theta}$

Displacement in y direction is given by

$y=u\sin\theta t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7\sin\theta \dfrac{5.34}{7.7\cos\theta}-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81 (\dfrac{5.34}{7.7\cos\theta})^2\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7\sin\theta-4.905\times \dfrac{5.34}{7.7\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7^2\sin\theta \cos\theta-4.905\times 5.34\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7^2\dfrac{\sin2\theta}{2}-4.905\times 5.34\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7^2\sin2\theta-4.905\times5.34\times 2\\\Rightarrow \sin2\theta=\dfrac{4.905\times 5.34\times 2}{7.7^2}\\\Rightarrow 2\theta=\sin^{-1}\dfrac{4.905\times 5.34\times 2}{7.7^2}$
