To place a communications satellite into a geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 22,240 mi above the surface of the earth, the satellite first is released from a space shuttle , which is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 185 mi, and then is propelled by an upper-stage booster to its final altitude. as the satellite passes through a, the booster's motor is fired to insert the satellite into an elliptic transfer orbit. the booster is again fired at b to insert the satellite into a geosynchronous orbit. knowing that the second firing increases the speed of the satellite by 4810ft/s, determine (a.) the speed of the satellite as it approaches b on the elliptic transfer orbit, (b.) the increase in speed resulting from the first firing at a.

According to rutherford's nuclear theory, most of the volume of an atom is , so the volume of a hydrogen atom cannot be mostly due to the proton. according to rutherford's nuclear theory, the core of an atom (nucleus) contains most of of an atom and is , so the majority of the mass of a fluorine atom cannot be due to its nine electrons. according to rutherford's nuclear theory, the number of negatively charged particles outside the nucleus the number of positively charged particles within the nucleus, so a nitrogen atom has 7 protons and 7 electrons, while a phosphorous atom cannot have 15 protons and 150 electrons. word bank: dense, empty space, more than, mass, particles, the same as, less than, positively charged, negatively charged
