Here are some examples of statements that accurately describe satellite motion:
Gravity is the only force acting on a satellite.
Circular orbits result from the interaction between gravity and inertia.
Gravity provides the centripetal force for satellites.Satellites are in free fall around Earth or other central objects.
Hope this helps!

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question

"Which statements accurately describe satellite motion? Check all that apply: Gravity is the only force acting on a satellite. Inertia is the only cause of a satellite’s circular motion. Air resistance prevents satellites from staying in orbit for very long. Circular orbits result from the interaction between gravity and inertia. Gravity provides the centripetal force for satellites. Satellites are in free fall around Earth or other central objects."

Answer:

Gravity is the only force acting on a satellite.
Circular orbits result from the interaction between gravity and inertia.
Gravity provides the centripetal force for satellites.
Satellites are in free fall around Earth or other central objects.

Explanation:

Satellites are bodies that orbit around a celestial body. They can be classified as natural (celestial stars that orbit around a planet, for example, the Moon) and artificial (objects made by man and placed in orbit of a celestial body). There are several artificial satellites around our planet and with different functions, such as communication, meteorological, military and astronomical satellites.

The movement of satellites around a planet obeys Kepler's Laws and Universal Gravitation. About this movement we can say that:

Gravity is the only force acting on a satellite.
Circular orbits result from the interaction between gravity and inertia.
Gravity provides the centripetal force for satellites.
Satellites are in free fall around Earth or other central objects.

A 0.20 kg mass on a horizontal spring is pulled back 2.0 cm and released. If, instead, a 0.40 kg mass were used in this same exp

KIM [24]

Answer:

The total mechanical energy does not change if the value of the mass is changed. That is, remain the same

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of a spring-mass system is equal to the elastic potential energy where the object is at the amplitude of the motion. That is:

$E=U=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$ (1)

k: spring constant

A: amplitude of the motion = 2.0cm

As you can notice in the equation (1), the total mechanical energy of the system does not depend of the mass of the object. It only depends of the amplitude A and the spring constant.

Hence, if you use a mass of 0.40kg the total mechanical energy is the same as the obtained with a mas 0.20kg

Remain the same

Electric current in a solid metal conductor is caused by the movement of what ?

Vlad1618 [11]

Electric current in a solid metal conductor is caused by the movement of electric charge. An electric current is the flow of electric charge. An electron current, the flow of electrons, contributes to an electric current since the electron 'carries' negative electric charge. The flow of ions also contributes to an electric current in, for example, the electrolyte of an electrochemical cell.

IgorLugansk [536]

If the mass of the cylinder increases, the temperature of the water increases, because a greater mass means the cylinder has more potential energy that can be converted to thermal energy, increasing the temperature of the water.

Newton's First Law: A body will remain at rest or in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by a force.

Newton's Second Law: Change in motion is proportional to the applied force and parallel to it.

Newton's Third Law: To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

A 5.00μF parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a 12.0 V battery. After the capacitor is fully charged, the battery is disconn

EastWind [94]

(a) 12.0 V

In this problem, the capacitor is connected to the 12.0 V, until it is fully charged. Considering the capacity of the capacitor, $C=5.00 \mu F$ , the charged stored on the capacitor at the end of the process is

$Q=CV=(5.00 \mu F)(12.0 V)=60 \mu C$

When the battery is disconnected, the charge on the capacitor remains unchanged. But the capacitance, C, also remains unchanged, since it only depends on the properties of the capacitor (area and distance between the plates), which do not change. Therefore, given the relationship

$V=\frac{Q}{C}$

and since neither Q nor C change, the voltage V remains the same, 12.0 V.

(b) (i) 24.0 V

In this case, the plate separation is doubled. Let's remind the formula for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor:

$C=\frac{\epsilon_0 \epsilon_r A}{d}$

where:

$\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space

$\epsilon_r$ is the relative permittivity of the material inside the capacitor

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

As we said, in this case the plate separation is doubled: d'=2d. This means that the capacitance is halved: $C'=\frac{C}{2}$ . The new voltage across the plate is given by
