How is projectile motion related to satellite motion?
They both involve gravity calculations
How does gravity affect a satellite launch?
İf gravity is high, satellite will be very small due to lifting forces for satellite,otherw mise satellite wll vey big.
What is the shape of the orbit when the velocity of the satellite is everywhere perpendicular to the force of gravity?
If the velocity of the satellite is always perpendicular to the force of gravity, then the eccentricity of the orbit is zero, and it's perfectly circular.
What will happen to time period of simple pendulum if taken to satellite?
A simple pendulum will not swing when it's aboard a satellite in orbit. While in orbit, the satellite and everything in it are falling, which produces a state of apparent zero gravity, and pendula don't swing without gravity.
The force of gravity is responsible for changing the what in which a satellite moves?
The force of gravity will change the satellites direction, and therefore its velocity.
How is projectile motion related to satellite motion?
They both involve gravity calculations
Why do you think a satellite doesn't get pulled to the ground by gravity?
It certainly gets pulled toward the Earth. Without the pull of gravity, the satellite would continue moving in a straight line, instead of going around the Earth in a circle or ellipse.
How does gravity affect the 2 components of projectile motion?
-- Gravity causes the vertical component of projectile motion to vary according to the local acceleration of gravity. -- Gravity has no effect at all on the horizontal component of projectile motion.
What will be the path of a projectile?
The path of a projectile in earth gravity is that of a parabola.
Is projectile motion a motion in one dimension the direction of gravity?
No, gravity is only one of the vectors in projectile motion.
How does the gravity affect the two components of projectile motion?
Projectile motion has two components horizontal motion and vertical motion. Gravity affects only the vertical motion of projectile motion.
What pulls down a projectile motion?
Gravity would be pulling down on a projectile object.
What shape does a projectile make?
In a perfect system, with no air resistance, the arc that a projectile moves through is a parabola. The shape of the parabola is dependent of various parameters including the initial velocity (speed and angle of launch) as well as the prevailing gravity. It could also describe a circle if the launch criteria are just right for the gravity, such as a satellite orbiting the Earth.
A satellite is projectile that falls ot of earth rather than into earth?
Satellites are in constant free-fall. This simply means they are constantly being accelerated by earth's gravity. However, an orbiting satellite's lateral motion is sufficient that the acceleration caused by the earth's gravity causes it to continually circle the earth, instead of crashing to the ground.
What is the force acting upon a projectile?
gravity
Is the vertical motion of a projectile accelerated?
Yes, the projectile needs to be accelerated to overcome the acceleration of gravity.
The height of a projectile in motion is dependent on what?
Projectile motion is a form of motion wherein an object moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only. The height of a projectile in motion is dependent on gravity.
