a) A geostationary orbit is when the satellite remains vertically above the same point on the equator at all all times and consequently has an orbital period of 24 hours. b) Use the equation T^2=4(PI)^2(r...

In the instant when the DVD is dropped, it will have an acceleration of g, with no drag force acting on it as it is not moving. As the DVD accelerates downwards, the drag force acting on it increases and ...

Efficiency=useful energy /input energy x 100, so for the kettle, efficiency = 65/100 x 100 = 65% efficient. The rest of the energy is wasted as heat energy in the kettle/sound energy.

Red shift is the lengthening ('stretching') of the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation emitted from a body moving away from the observer. This process occurs as the EM radiation loses energy while it ...

We need to understand both what this question is asking of us, and what the question tells us. We are asked to investigate the motion of the parachutist, therefore in this case we need to apply Newton’s L...
