An astronaut is orbiting the Earth in Geosynchronous orbit.

a) The net force acting upon the astronaut is zero.

a. True
b. False
c. Not enough information is given

b) There is only one altitude above the Earth at which the astronaut can be orbiting?

a. True
b. False
c. Not enough information is given

Alfred pushes on a heavy box, but cannot move it. the box has a lot of inertia motion friction gravity

Pl asaaap ! match the term to the correct description. a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction in which the energy is traveling. a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction in which the energy is traveling. movement that is back and forth, like an equal sign = a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move in a circle motion while the energy travels left or right. movement that is like a t transfers energy from one location to another 1. wave 2. parallel movement 3. perpendicular movement 4. transverse wave 5. longitudinal wave 6. surface wave

Although longitudinal waves can travel through all media types what is the disadvantage of this type of wave transmission? a) he efficiency of he wave transmission is greatly diminished as the media becomes less dense b) the oscillation of one set of particles has a huge impact on neighboring particles c) particles become too close together as they bump into each other making it more likely to hit other particles down the line
