Asatellites are placed in a circular orbit that is 2.44 × 107 m above the surface of the earth. what is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity at this distance?

The magnitude of the poynting vector of a planar electromagnetic wave has an average value of 0.939 w/m2 . the wave is incident upon a rectangular area, 1.5 m by 2.0 m, at right angles. how much total electromagnetic energy falls on the area during 1.0 minute

Two friends are having a conversation. anna says a satellite in orbit is in freefall because the satellite keeps falling toward earth. tom says a satellite in orbit is not in freefall because the acceleration due to gravity is not 9.80 m/2 . who do you agree with and why?

Astudent throws a water balloon with speed v0 from a height h = 1.76 m at an angle θ = 21° above the horizontal toward a target on the ground. the target is located a horizontal distance d = 9.5 m from the student’s feet. assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. use a cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position. (a) what is the position vector, rtarge t, that originates from the balloon's original position and terminates at the target? put this in terms of h and d, and represent it as a vector using i and j. (b) in terms of the variables in the problem, determine the time, t, after the launch it takes the balloon to reach the target. your answer should not include h. (c) create an expression for the balloon's vertical position as a function of time, y(t), in terms of t, vo, g, and θ. (d) determine the magnitude of the balloon's initial velocity, v0, in meters per second, by eliminating t from the previous two expressions.
