v = 2𝜋R/T where R is the orbital radius, T is the time period.R = radius_of_earth + height_of_orbit = 6800km + 400km = 6800km = 6.8×106m.T = hours_in_day/number_of_orbits_in_day = 24/16 hours =...
There are three kinds of nuclear radiation that you need to know for GCSE physics, and each is considerably different from the others. Firstly, alpha radiation: this is when a chunk of the nucleus is emit...
Initially the air resistance (r) is low, and the force due to gravity (mg) is high. These forces are unbalanced so the skydiver accelerates downwards. (mg > r)As the velocity increases the force of air...
A falling object will reach terminal velocity when the force draging it down (ie its weight due to gravity) is equal to the air resistance opposing the motion upwards. When the two forces are equal the ob...
Because their speed might remain constant, but their velocity doesn't. Remember, velocity is a vector, so it has magnitude (which is the speed of the object), but also direction. For an object moving in a...
