1. How does centripetal force due to gravity keep a satellite in orbit?

It continuously changes the direction of the satellite.

It provides the thrust to launch the satellite into space.

It prevents the satellite from falling toward Earth.

It keeps increasing the speed of the satellite.

Aperson walks first at a constant speed of 4.89 m/s along a straight line from point a to point b and then back along the line from b to a at a constant speed of 2.95 m/s. what is the average speed over the entire trip?

Scientists follow specific processes in order to determine valid explanations and conclusions from observations. david observed strange lights in the sky above his home outside of roswell, new mexico. the only explanation that makes sense to him is that there are ufos in the area. what should david do next to verify his explanation?

Ahair dryer is basically a duct in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. a small fan pulls the air in and forces it through the resistors where it is heated. air enters a 1200 w hair dryer at 100 kpa and 22°c and leaves at 47°c. the cross-sectional area of the hair dryer at the exit is 60 cm2. neglecting the power consumed by the fan and the heat losses through the walls of the hair dryer, determine (a) the volume flow rate of air at the inlet and (b) the velocity of the air at the exit.
