How can newtons laws be described when a satellite orbiting around earth is knocked out of orbit by a meteor?
The first law states that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force. The meteor impact imparts an external force that changes the satellite's motion. The second law describes how force equals mass times acceleration, which means the satellite's mass and the force of the meteor impact determine the resulting acceleration. Finally, the third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, so the satellite exerts a force back on the meteor as it is knocked out of orbit.
What is the definition of a natural satellite?
A natural satellite is a celestial body that orbits a planet. These satellites are not man-made and are typically smaller than the planet they orbit. Earth's moon is an example of a natural satellite.
What is the average mass of a meteor?
The average mass of a meteor can vary greatly depending on its size and composition. Smaller meteors can weigh only a few grams, while larger ones can weigh several tons. However, the average mass of a typical meteor is estimated to be around 1 kilogram.
What is the difference of a meteor and an asteroid?
An asteroid is a heavenly body which has its own orbit, between mars and jupiter, and revolve around the sun. It is made up of dust and rock. Meteor is also a heavenly body like asteroid but smaller than that.
Appears as a streak in the sky?
A meteor.
When was the Meteor Priroda satellite first launched?
1975
Is a meteor considered an artificial sateillite?
No. There are two reasons: -- A meteor is a natural body, not an artificial one. -- It was never a satellite of Earth, and once it enters the atmosphere, it's never again a satellite of the sun.
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.
What satellite and when was this satellite destroyed by meteorite?
In 1993, the European Space Agency's Olympus satellite was damaged when a meteor struck its navigational control system, making the bird useless.
What is negative about satellites?
If a meteor was coming directly at a satellite, it could cause destruction, which can affect Earth.

A satellite orbiting Earth is knocked out of orbit by a meteor How can newton's laws of motion be used in describing this event?
Newton's first law of motion states that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force. The meteor impact provided the external force that disrupted the satellite's motion, causing it to be knocked out of orbit. Newton's second law of motion can be used to calculate the resulting acceleration and change in velocity of the satellite due to the impact.
What is size of satellite?
A satellite is roughly 77km long. However some can be smaller. It depends on their job.
Which of these refers to smaller pieces of celestial debris that have entered a planet's atmosphere?
meteor
What is satellite decisions?
Often a major decisions leads to several smaller ones, sometimes called satellite decisions.
What are smaller citys that surround a city?
Satellite cities.
How small can a meteor get?
smallest that have been found are the size of apples. But there must be even smaller.
