What is the difference between a probe a satellite and a rover?
A satellite goes around a planet. A probe goes "somewhere". A rover moves about on the surface of a planet.
What satellite that monitors a fault detects and increasing tilt in the land surface along the fault?
An InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite can detect increasing tilt in the land surface along a fault by measuring changes in ground elevation over time with high precision. This technique allows researchers to monitor deformation along fault lines and track potential earthquake hazards by analyzing the data obtained from the satellite.
Is a probe and a satellite the same thing?
Yes, they are, but a probe can also be an asteroid or something like that as well.No. A satellite orbits an object. The moon is our natural satellite.A probe has a function, generally to land on the surface of an object and take samples (probe it).
How far will an object near the Earth's surface fall in 7 seconds?
Assuming the object is in free fall near Earth's surface, it will fall approximately 343.3 meters (1126 feet) in 7 seconds. This calculation is based on the formula for free fall distance: d = 1/2 * g * t^2, where d is the distance fallen, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time in seconds.
How does the surface area and climate affect the rate of weathering?
The rate if weathering in a rock is determined by surface area, temperature, moisture and chemical composition. Surface area effects the rate because weathering occurs on the surface of the rock; therefore a whole rock will weather slower than that same rock in fragments. Temperature and moisture (climate) effect the rate, because weathering is both chemical reactions (hydrolysis, etc) involving water, who's speed is controlled by how warm the system is, and by physical weathering, often involving water (freeze-that etc). The chemical composition is in reference to how stable the rock is in s given environment, and is indicated by Bowman's Reaction Series.
After an impact involving a nonfunctioning satellite a paint chip leaves the surface of the satellite at a speed of 96 meters per second After 17 seconds how far has the chip landed?
If the paint chip leaves at a speed of 96 metres per second relative to the satellite, then it will be 96*17 = 1632 metres from the satellite.
What is a landsat satellite?
A satellite that observes Earth's surface.
What are various satellite sub-systems?
how a satellite can appear to be stationary above the earth´s surface how a satellite can appear to be stationary above the earth´s surface
Why doesnt a geostationary satellite trace a path over the surface of the earth?
A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.
How does the direction of motion of a satellite in circular orbit compare with the curve of earth's surface?
The direction of motion of a satellite in a circular orbit is perpendicular to the curved surface of the Earth. This means that the satellite moves parallel to the surface at a constant distance rather than following the curve of the Earth.
What is a satellite in astronomy terms?
A satellite orbits another body. The moon is a natural satellite of the earth. For awhile, LCROSS was a satellite of the moon (until we smashed it into the lunar surface).
Which is the height of a geostationary satellite from the surface is approximately?
15000km
What is the earth surface where a satellite signal can be received?
Footprint
Why geostationary satellite not falling to ground?
Because they're moving 'sideways' at more than 6,000 miles per hour, out where the acceleration of gravity is only about 3% of what it is on Earth's surface. The satellite is falling allright, but the Earth's curved surface is falling away exactly as fast as the satellite itself is falling toward it, so the satellite's altitiude above the surface never changes.
How many seconds does it take for a microwave to travel from earth to the satellite and back to earth?
Assuming a geosyncronous communications satellite, it is 35,900 km above the surface of the earth. If you are directly beneath it, a microwave will travel at the speed of light (300,000km/s) there and back through this distance. Thus: 2 * 35,900 /300,000 = 0.240 seconds. Note that this is larger if the sender and recipient are located far away, because of the angle.
A satellite communication system why is the geostationary orbit preferred?
A geostationary orbit will keep the satellite in one area relative to the surface
How high was the sputnik-1 satellite?
The Sputnik-1 satellite orbitted at approximately 577.1 km above the surface of the Earth.
