A satellite orbiting earth is knocked out of orbit by a meteor how can newtons laws of motion be used in describing this event?

Lots of ways. For example, the momentum of satellite + meteor before the impact, is the same after the impact.


How did the people in the US react to Sputnik?

Sputnik made schools modernize their curiculums. The advanced studies in engineering had to be taught. Because of Sputnik there was new methods of teaching. Students could learn this technology.


What evidence do we have that objects like asteroids or meteoroids on earth?

An impact event is a collision between celestial objectscausing measurable effects. Impact events have physical consequences and have been found to regularly occur in planetary systems, though the most frequent involve asteroids, comets or meteoroids and have minimal impact. When large objects impact terrestrial planetslike the Earth, there can be significant physical and biospheric consequences, though atmospheres mitigate many surface impacts through atmospheric entry. Impact structures are dominant landforms on many of the System's solid objects and present the strongest empirical evidence for their frequency and scale.Impact events appear to have played a significant role in the evolution of the Solar System since its formation. Major impact events have significantly shaped Earth's history, have been implicated in the formation of the Earth-Moon system, the evolutionary history of life, the origin of water on Earthand several mass extinctions. Notable impact events include the Late Heavy Bombardment, which occurred early in history of the Earth-Moon system and the Chicxulub impact, 66 million years ago, believed to be the cause of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event.Throughout recorded history, hundreds of Earth impacts (and exploding bolides) have been reported, with some occurrences causing deaths, injuries, property damage or other significant localised consequences.[1]One of the best-known recorded impacts in modern times was the Tunguska event, which occurred in Siberia,Russia, in 1908. The 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor event is the only known such event to result in a large number of injuries, and the Chelyabinsk meteor is the largest recorded object to have encountered the Earth since the Tunguska event.The most notable non-terrestrial event is the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9impact, which provided the first direct observation of an extraterrestrial collision of Solar System objects, when the comet broke apart and collided with Jupiter in July 1994. Most of the observed extrasolar impacts are the slow collision of galaxies; however, in 2014, one of the first massive terrestrial impacts observed was detected around the star NGC 2547 ID8 by NASA's Spitzer space telescope and confirmed by ground observations.[2]Impact events have been a plot and background element in science fiction.

Did Sputnik take pictures?

To the best of my memory, the first Sputnik was launched as part of the International Geophysical Year programme. I think the first one was just a transmitter (20MHZ & 40MHz (?)) and was a major publicity event. There were no miniaturized cameras then, but the spies no doubt had them, but I certainly don't remember any photos.
