Space probes and other long-distance vehicles are designed with small rockets to allow for mid-course corrections. An orbit can be defined by ro and vo . If a satellite is launched in a direction parallel to the surface of the earth (see Fig below) with a velocity of 36000 km/h from an altitude of 500 km. Apply the principles of conservation of energy and conservation of angular momentum to the orbit insertion point and the point of minimum altitude to determine: (use EXCEL or MATLAB to generate and tabulate the data.)

i think the answer is b

i think the answer would be b

a=d/t

a="triangle"v/t

explanation:

a = acceleration

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
