One way to attack a satellite in earth orbit is to launch a swarm of pellets in the same orbit as the satellite but in the opposite direction.
suppose a satellite in a circular orbit 500 km above earth's surface collides with a pellet having mass 4.0g.

(a) what is the kinetic energy of the pellet in the reference frame of the satellite just before the collision?

(b)what is the ratio of this kinetic energy to the kinetic energy of a 4.0 g bullet from a modern army rifle with a muzzle speed of 950m/s? show all steps. for each equation write what and/or why you are using the equation.

i believe the answer is a hope it and is correct

i already answered it by 34/s

the correct answer to the question is it has inertia.

explanation:

the splashing of water in the bottle can be explained in terms of inertia of motion.

from newton's first law of motion, we know that a body moving with uniform velocity along a straight line will keep on moving with the same velocity along that line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced force. it is known as inertia of motion.

as per the question, the passenger is in the moving car. the open water bottle has the same velocity as that of passenger as he is holding the bottle.

when the car stops, the passenger will move in forward direction due to the inertia of motion. same also happens in case of water present in the bottle. the water splashed out as its inertia of motion is destroyed .
