The Earth's gravity exerts no torque on a satellite orbiting the Earth in an elliptical orbit. Compare the motion of the satellite at the point nearest the Earth (perigee) to the motion at the point farthest from the Earth (apogee). At these two points: a. the angular speed will be greatest although the linear speed will be the same.
b. the kinetic energy and angular momentum will both be greater.
c. Both choices A and C are valid.
d. None of the above.

One kind of e-book display consists of millions of very small spheres that float in a thin fluid layer between two conducting transparent plates. each sphere is black on one side and white on the other, and possesses an electric dipole moment directed from the white side to the black. when an electric field is applied between the plates, the spheres rotate so that their dipole moment lines up with the field. depending on the fields direction, either the black or the white sides of th espheres can be made visible. the dipole moment of the spheres can be modeled as two opposite charges of magnitude 3.5 x 10^-15 c, separated by a distancce of 100 micrometers (um). what is the maximum possible torque on a sphere if the electric field between the transparent plates is 4.0 x 10^5 n/c
