Newton's first law of motion states that an object will remain in motion in a straight line unless compelled to change direction by an external force. Explain why satellites launched into orbit do not continue moving in a straight line. Make a connection between satellites and planets.

Explanation:

When satellites are launched into orbit, they are able to orbit around planets due to the gravitational force of attraction between the satellite and planet (usually there is no apparent change in motion of the planet because of its relative huge size than the satellite)

This gravitational force is in a different direction than the satellite's motion, therefore it keeps it orbiting around planets and does not continue moving in a straight line.

correct answer is a. and d.

picture a world where computers are building made-to-order personalized robotic arms and synthetic organs, drones are circulating above mars! due to the rapid growth of technology, the future has never been more unpredictable, and it presents a huge challenge in education: we are teaching students how to work in a future that we have never been unsure of. it is widely predicted that in eight years’ time, there will be more jobs in the fields of science, mathematics, technology and engineering than in any other discipline. and, as the technology continues to develop, it will soon become clear that addressing social problems will involve more innovative thinking, and analytical and technical knowledge than ever before. undeniably, there are no subjects that encourage innovative and creative thinking, deep thought, problem solving and independence more than the stem subjects. while it is widely commented on that there is a need to reimagine the ways stem subjects are taught in schools by embracing a more interactive and innovative approach to appeal to more students, it should come as no surprise that some of the most reputable educational organizations in the world are already implementing changes to embrace stem. harvard, for example, announced in 2014 that they were increasing their computer science faculty by over 50% and has since introduced computer science as a core subject for all freshmen. the urgency of supporting stem subjects at a young age is becoming more relevant than ever, as adopting a keen interest in the curricula needs to happen early. however, beyond the age issue is one of gender.
