Explanation:
Orbital velocity v = √(GM/r), where r is orbital radius from Earth's center. Thus v ∝ 1/√r. If r increases, v decreases. This follows from equating gravitational force to centripetal force: GMm/r² = mv²/r ⇒ v = √(GM/r). Higher orbits have slower speeds but longer periods. Memory aid: 'Higher orbit, slower speed' – counterintuitive but fundamental. This relationship is crucial for satellite motion questions in competitive exams. Always distinguish orbital velocity from escape velocity (which is √2 times orbital velocity at same radius).
Explanation:
Ohm's law V = IR holds for ohmic conductors (metals) provided temperature and physical conditions constant. Non-ohmic: semiconductors, diodes, electrolytes. Graph V-I is straight line for ohmic. Temperature changes resistance, so condition necessary.
Explanation:
Power = work/time = 500/10 = 50 W. Watt = Joule/second. This is average power. Simple division. Higher power means faster rate of doing work.
