Which describes the force on a satellite keeping it in a circular orbit around the earth?
An object in orbit is in what is known as "free-fall". The best way to understand this is to realise that the object has 2 motions: down, and sideways.An object 1000 miles high in orbit will fall down towards the centre of the earth exactly 1000 miles. BUT, in the time it takes it to fall that 1000 miles, it moves EXACTLY 1000 miles sideways, so it is still exactly 1000 miles above the earth. It then falls exactly 1000 miles towards the centre of the earth, but in that time, moves another 1000 miles sideways, so it's STILL 1000 miles above the earth.Now, change that 1000 miles down, for 10 miles, or 1 mile, or 1 inch, AND, change the 1000 miles sideways for 10 miles, 1 mile, 1 inch.The concept of a stable orbit is that for each unit the object moves DOWN, it moves sideways far enough that it is still exactly the same height above the centre of what it is orbiting.
How much does something weigh 1000 meters above earths surface?
"at an altitude of 400 kilometres (250 miles), equivalent to a typical orbit of the Space Shuttle, gravity is still nearly 90% as strong as at the Earth's surface" -- Wikipedia: Earth's gravity # Altitude
How long is the biggest sunflower?
12 meters
Is it true that two otherwise identical objects have temperatures of 1000 K and 1200 K respectively The object at 1200 K emits roughly twice as much radiation as the object at 1000 K?
Yes, more or less. The power radiated is proportional to the 4th. power of theabsolute temperature; 1200 is 1.2 times as much as 1000, and 1.2 to the fourthpower is a bit more than 2.But the emitted radiation comparison is per unit of surface area, not for the whole object.
Is 1 meter less than 270 kilometers?
To compare two measurements, please convert both to the same unit. In this case, you can convert kilometers to meters by multiplying the number of kilometers by 1000. Or the other way round: convert meters to kilometers, dividing by 1000. The answer to the question is 269 kilometres and 99 metres.
What object is 1000 meters?
A common object that is roughly 1000 meters long is a kilometer. A kilometer is equal to 1000 meters in length and is commonly used as a unit of measurement for distances.
How long is 1 000 meters?
1000 meters is 1000 meters long. If you would like it converted to another unit of measure, please specify.
How long is km?
1000 meters
How long to swim 1000 meters?
1000 metres, I guess!
What object could get crushed at 1000 meters in the ocean?
a paper cup
How long is 52km in meters?
the relationship between meters and kilometers is 1000:1 thus to answer your question, 52km, is 52*1000 meters, or 52,000 meters
Does a whale measure as long as 1000 meters?
No.
How long is 1000-meters?
100,000 centimeters
How long is 1000 meters?
100,000 centimeters
How long is 1 km in meters?
Kilo means 1000, so that would be 1000 meters per kilometerse, long live the metric system!
One yard is one kilometer long how many meters is it?
One kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. Therefore, one yard, which is equal to one kilometer, would be 1000 meters long.
How long is a km in meters?
Kilo means 1000.1 km=1000 meters
