A satellite in a geostationary orbit appears to be stationary with respect to the earth, hence the name geostationary. Three conditions are required for an orbit to be geostationary: The satellite must travel eastward at the same rotational speed as the earth. The orbit must be circular. The inclination...

A body is initially at rest. It undergoes one-dimensional motion with constant acceleration. The power delivered to it at time t is proportional to
(i) t1/2 (ii) t (iii) t3/2 (iv) t2
Power=FVCosA=ma.(u+at)Cos0=ma.(0+at).1=ma^2.t. Which is propotionalp to t. So correct answer (ii) t.

Suppose some electricity is flowing through a long straight wire without any insulating coating that gives an electric shock to a person at rest relative to the wire on touching it. Is there a speed with which if the person runs along the wire in the direction of current flowing such that he/she does not experience any shock?
It is an excellent, thought-provoking question! Suppose a person runs along the direction of electron motion with the same speed of an electron. Then for him, electrons are at rest means zero current in...
