An astronaut is orbiting the Earth in Geosynchronous orbit.

a) The net force acting upon the astronaut is zero.

a. True
b. False
c. Not enough information is given

b) There is only one altitude above the Earth at which the astronaut can be orbiting?

a. True
b. False
c. Not enough information is given

c) up

hope this

force tends to be low and long diustance masses are high

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft

can u provide the graph and if its not possible

then i can tell u the segment where the

average time interval starts degrading is the segment where the car is slowing down
