TEST YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF SECTION 13.4 Your personal spacecraft is in a low-altitude circular orbit around the earth. Air resistance from the outer regions of the atmosphere does negative work on the spacecraft, causing the radius of the circular orbit to decrease slightly. Does the speed of the spacecraft (i) remain the same, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease?

Please answer in Essay Form. Write legibly. Thank you 1. Explain in detail when work done is positive and work done is negative and under what circumstances (if any) is no work done (zero) on a moving object even though a net force acts on it? 2. One sometimes speaks of the "direction of time", evolving from past to future. Does this mean that time is a vector quantity? Explain your reasoning. 3. The acceleration of a certain moving object is constant in magnitude and direction. Must the path of the object is a straight-line? If not, give an example.

I am stuck, I will provide a picture. A 5.24 kg object falls freely (ignore air resistance), after being dropped from rest. Determine the initial kinetic energy (in J), the final kinetic energy (in J), and the change in kinetic energy (in J) for the following. How is the initial kinetic energy for the second segment of travel related to the final kinetic energy for the first segment of travel? initial kinetic energy ? final kinetic energy 102.80J change in kinetic energy Knowing the initial kinetic energy and the change in kinetic energy for the second segment of travel, can you determine the final kinetic energy for the second segment of travel?J

Please answer the following question, parts a & b. Thanks.
True or False (Explain if False) 1. Despite possible risks, Kanye throws his child, North, straight up into the air and catches her, while his wife, Kim, was not around. Kim has the highest energy at the peak of her flight. 2. Triton, one of Neptune's moons, does not crash into the surface of Neptune because there is no gravity between them. 3.Bill pushes his silver bicycle down a road in Derry at a constant velocity. Of the four forces (friction, gravity, normal force, and pushing force) acting on the bicycle, the greatest amount of work is exerted by friction.
