Sattelites don't need any fuel to stay in orbit. The applicable law is...."objects in motion tend to stay in motion". Having reached orbital velocity, any such object is essentially "falling" around the earth. Since there is no (or at least very little) friction in the vacuum of space, the object does not slow.... It simply continues.
Sattelites in "low" earth orbit do encounter some friction from the very thin upper atmosphere, and they will eventually "decay".

Answer:
Explanation:
m = Mass of object =
mg = Weight of object = 20 N
g = Acceleration due to gravity =
v = Final velocity = 15 m/s
u = Initial velocity = 0
d = Distance moved by the object = 150 m
= Angle of slope =
f = Force of friction
fd = Work done against friction
The force balance of the system is
The work done against friction is .
The North Magnetic Pole is the point on the surface of Earth's Northern Hemisphere at which the planet's magnetic field points vertically downwards (in other words, if a magnetic compass needle is allowed to rotate about a horizontal axis, it will point straight down). There is only one location where this occurs, near (but distinct from) the Geographic North Pole and the Geomagnetic North Pole.
Answer:
15 cm
Explanation:
= Diameter of the coin = 15 mm
= Diameter of the image of coin = 5 mm
= distance of the coin from mirror = 15 cm
= distance of the image of coin from mirror = ?
Using the equation
= - 5 cm
= radius of curvature
Using the mirror equation
= - 15 cm
Answer:
D. The tea loses heat to the spoon causing the spoon to become warmer
Explanation:
When the silver spoon at a lower temperature than the tea, is added to the tea, it makes thermal contact. Hence, the heat transfer starts between the two until the equilibrium is reached. We know that the heat transfer takes place from the body with a higher temperature to a body with a lower temperature. As a result, the body with higher temperature loses heat and its temperature lowers down. While the body with a lower temperature gains heat and its temperature rises.
Therefore, the correct option is:
<u>D. The tea loses heat to the spoon causing the spoon to become warmer</u>
