The National Academy of Science, in order to gather information on deforestation, wishes to place a 500. kg infrared-sensing satellite in a polar orbit around the earth. The radius of the earth is approximately 6.38 x 10^3 km, and the acceleration of gravity at the orbital altitude of 160 km is very nearly the same as it is at the surface of the earth. the centripetal force on the satellite, by what?
Determine how long it would take for the satellite to make one complete revolution around the earth.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

the total distance that martina travels that day is

(distance from home to mom's office) plus (distance from mom's office to school)

plus (distance from school to library) plus (distance from library to friend's house)

plus (distance from friend's house to martina's house).

(we don't know what any of these distance actually is.)
