The Neo-Babylonian Empire was a period of Mesopotamian history which began in 626 BC and ended in 539 BC. During the preceding three centuries, Babylonia had been ruled by their fellow Akkadian speakers and northern neighbours, Assyria.
In order for a satellite to successfully orbit the Earth, it must travel a horizontal distance of 8000 meters before falling a vertical distance of 5 meters. A horizontally launched projectile falls a vertical distance of 5 meters in its first second of motion.
Equations, Equivalences, and Concepts: The sum or KE and PE for a satellite is a constant at all points along its orbit. For a satellite in circular orbit, it is always moving perpendicularly to the earths gravitational field. Because a satellite moves at right angles to the earths gravitational field, no change in speed occurs-only a change in direction.
