Brendan drew a diagram to illustrate the centripetal force acting on a satellite. how can brendan correct his diagram? a. draw the fg = fc vector so it points at a 45° angle from the v vector. b. change the fg = fc vector label so it reads fa = fc. c. draw the fg = fc vector so it is longer than the v vector. d. change the fg = fc vector so it is perpendicular to the v vector.

Brendan drew a diagram to illustrate the centripetal force acting on a satellite.  

How can Brendan correct his diagram?

Draw the Fg = Fc vector so it points at a 45° angle from the v vector.  

Change the Fg = Fc vector label so it reads Fa = Fc.

Draw the Fg = Fc vector so it is longer than the v vector.  

Change the Fg = Fc vector so it is perpendicular to the v vector.

D is the answer

Change the Fg = Fc vector so it is perpendicular to the v vector.

Explanation:

Brendan drew a diagram to illustrate the centripetal force acting on a satellite.   When satellite rotates around a earth, the centripetal force is balanced by gravitational force such that,

Centripetal force is a type of force which is responsible for the motion of an object in a circular path. It is a center seeking force. If the centripetal force is absent, the satellite would move in a straight line. It is perpendicular to the velocity of satellite.

Hence, the correct option is (d) "Change the Fg = Fc vector so it is perpendicular to the v vector".

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary

an energy transformation flow diagram is shown

where is it ?
