5-8 Satellites and “Weightlessness”
... Two satellites orbit the Earth in circular orbits of the same radius. One satellite is twice as massive as the other. Which of the following statements is true? • The heavier satellite moves twice as fast as the lighter one. • The two satellites have the same speed. • The lighter satellite moves tw ...

... Explanation1: The satellite and planet form a binary system. In general, for a many body system, the potential energy released in descent from ∞ is shared between the kinetic energies of multiple bodies interacting through force laws. FYI/For the curious: Explanation2: This is a special case of a ge ...

For that matter, if we zoom way in, each of our dust “particles” are themselves made of several, much tinier particles. ...

Kreutter: Dynamics 9 Lesson 9: Applying Newton`s Second Law
... • Draw a motion diagram and make sure the force and the motion diagrams match. Represent Mathematically: • Apply Newton’s Second Law in component form (this means horizontal and vertical forces are separate) to the situation you represented in the force diagram. • Add kinematics equations if necessa ...

Your inertia resists the inward acceleration and your body simply wants to keep moving in straight line motion! As with all other types of acceleration, ...

Lecture Notes for Section 13.4 (Equation of Motion)
... (continued) • Equations of Motion If the forces can be resolved directly from the free-body diagram (often the case in 2-D problems), use the scalar form of the equation of motion. In more complex cases (usually 3-D), a Cartesian vector is written for every force and a vector analysis is often best. ...
