Air friction increases the velocity of the sastellite. Explain.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain how air friction increases the velocity of a satellite, we can break down the problem step by step: ### Step 1: Understanding the Satellite's Motion A satellite is in orbit around the Earth, moving in a circular path with a certain radius (r) and speed (v). The gravitational force between the Earth and the satellite provides the necessary centripetal force to keep the satellite in orbit. ### Step 2: Centripetal Force and Gravitational Force The centripetal force required to keep the satellite in circular motion is given by the formula: \[ F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r} \] ...
