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.
A satellite in orbit around the Earth does not fall into the Earth because the force of Gravity between the satellite and Earth is exactly balanced by the centripetal reaction â¦ force of the satellite constantly changing direction. Think of driving in a car in a straight line. Now, think about turning right.
