What else can I help you with?
The path of a satellite orbiting the earth is best described as linear hyperbolic parabolic or elliptical?
Elliptical. The satellite follows a curved path around the Earth known as an elliptical orbit, where it travels at varying distances from the planet.
What path earth travels on?
An elliptical orbit round the Sun.
What do you call an object that travels around a planet?
A moon or satellite.
Which term refers to the speed at which a planet travel in its orbit?
Orbital velocity refers to the speed at which a planet travels in its orbit.
Is a satellite orbiting earth free from earths gravity why or why not?
No, that's why it's orbiting the earth instead of flying off into space. To it takes a force to change velocity. Changing direction changes velocity, so it requires a constant force to travel in a circle--think of the tension in a string while you twirl a rock attached to the end. A satellite if falling toward the earth constantly. As a thought experiment, consider dropping a rock to the ground. It falls straight down. If you throw it straight sideways, it travels for some horizontal distance before it hits the ground. A bullet travels further. Now, if you could shoot something fast enough, it would travel so far sideways before it reached the ground, that the ground itself would start curving away underneath it, because the earth is a sphere. If you go fast enough, then you can go so far, that the ground curves away under you at the same rate that you curve in your path as you fall towards the ground. This is basically what a satellite does--it falls around the earth.
A satellite in an elliptical orbit travels at constant what?
If the path is perfectly circular, yes, the speed is constant. This should not be confused with the velocity, because while speed is constant, its direction is not; therefore velocity is always changing.
The path of a satellite orbiting the earth is best described as linear hyperbolic parabolic or elliptical?
Elliptical. The satellite follows a curved path around the Earth known as an elliptical orbit, where it travels at varying distances from the planet.
What is pogee?
Apogee is the point at which a satellite in an elliptical orbit is At its apogee, the satellite travels slower than at any other point in its orbit.
Why velocity is not constant if satellite travels with constant spped at a fixed elevatiopn?
Speed is a scalar quantity meaning it has only magnitude. Velocity is a vector meaning it has magnitude and direction. Whilst the satellite's speed is constant its direction is constantly changing. If its direction didn't change it would fly off in a straight line. Since its direction is changing, the velocity must be changing. And also since the velocity is changing, the satellite is also accelerating (towards the centre of the earth).
What is the orbital velocity of the planet mars?
The orbital velocity of Mars is approximately 24.1 km/s (about 54,000 mph). This is the speed at which Mars travels around the Sun in its elliptical path. It takes Mars about 687 Earth days to complete one orbit.
What path earth travels on?
An elliptical orbit round the Sun.
A car has a mass of 20000kg and travels at 10000ms what is its velocity?
You mean, travels at 10000 m/s.....if so...Its velocity is 10000m/s
What measures speed and direction an object travels?
Velocity measures both speed and direction that an object travels. The magnitude of velocity represents the speed of the object, while the direction of velocity indicates the direction in which the object is moving.
What is the object that travels around the earth for communication?
a satellite
Moon or Object that travels around the planets?
A satellite.
What is velocity of a wave?
How quickly the wave travels
What is a object that travels in an orbit around earth?
A satellite, or the moon.
