For each type of wave compare the vibration of the medium to the direction of the wave?
Transverse waves vibrate up and down. Longitudinal waves vibrate parallel to the medium. Surface waves vibrate in circular motions.
What is the direction of heat flux on isothermal surface?
Direction of heat flux on an isothermal surface is always normal to the surface.
When a raindrop hits the surface of a lake circular surface waves form What is true about these surface waves?
The surface waves cannot be classified as transverse or longitudinal waves.
The tangential velocity of an Earth satellite is its velocity?
parallel to the surface of the Earth
Which type of wave is characterized by circular motion?
Surface waves from an earthquake shake the ground back and forth and up and down. So basically in a circular motion. This wave is the most dangerous wave released during and earthquake and it comes after the p and s waves. The Surface wave is the last wave that comes after the other 2. So yea' these surface waves move in a circular motion
How high should be the satellite to be a geostationary?
In order to appear motionless in the sky, the satellite must be in an orbit that is -- circular -- over the equator -- 22,400 miles above the surface
Where is a satellite when it stays at the same point above earths surface?
That's a "geostationary" satellite. It's roughly 22,000 miles above the equator, in a circular orbit.
For each type of wave compare the vibration of the medium to the direction of the wave?
Transverse waves vibrate up and down. Longitudinal waves vibrate parallel to the medium. Surface waves vibrate in circular motions.
Is torque produce in satellite due to gravity?
A satellite small enough to be treated as a point particle. Can earth's gravity exert a torque on a satellite about the earth's center? Torque causes an object to rotate around a specific point. Torque = force * perpendicular distance and Torque = moment of Inertia * angular acceleration. When a satellite is launched, it is forced up to a specific distance from the earth's center and accelerated to a specific velocity parallel to the surface of the earth. The satellite continues moving in circular orbit. The force which causes the satellite to move in a circular path is the gravitational force caused by the mass of the earth, mass of the satellite, and distance from the center of mass of the earth to the center of mass of the satellite. This force causes the direction of the velocity to rotate so it is always tangent to the circle. This force produces the torque which makes causes the satellite to rotate so the direction of its velocity is always perpendicular to the direction of the gravitational force.
How would the colors of a satellite image of an area compare with a color photograph of the same area?
The satellite image will have more realistic surface of the Earth compared to photograph.

Why craters are circular?
An object impacting a terrestrial surface will tend to throw out ejecta pretty much evenly in all directions. It's energy isn't restricted in any direction, so it goes in every direction (a circular pattern).
A satellite is at an altitude of one of earth radius. How does the gravitational force on the satellite compare to the force if it were on the surface of earth?
Since the distance from the Earth's center is doubled, the force will be reduced by a factor of 4.
What is a landsat satellite?
A satellite that observes Earth's surface.
When a person throws a stone into water why are circular waves formed rather than transverse waves?
Simple answer:When a stone is thrown into quiet water, the circular waves that are formed are transverse waves. We say the waves are circular because the shape of the wave front is circular and we say it is transverse because the surface disturbance is vertical, perpendicular plane of the surface in which the wave moves.The waves have both properties of being circular and transverse.More Explanation:Transverse waves are waves where the direction of the oscillatory motion is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.The waves on the surface of water are a vertical motion of the water.The waves on the surface move on the surface, which is horizontal, so the propagation is in the horizontal direction.Horizontal is perpendicular to vertical, so circular water waves as well as linear water waves are transverse. Indeed, no matter what peculiar shape you produce, the water disturbance is vertical and the motion of propagation is restricted to the horizontal surface.
What are various satellite sub-systems?
