Answer:

83%

Explanation:

On the surface, the weight is:

W = GMm / R²

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the shuttle, and R is the radius of the Earth.

In orbit, the weight is:

w = GMm / (R+h)²

where h is the height of the shuttle above the surface of the Earth.

The ratio is:

w/W = R² / (R+h)²

w/W = (R / (R+h))²

Given that R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:

w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²

w/W = 0.83

The shuttle in orbit retains 83% of its weight on Earth.

Consider the four quantum numbers of an electron in an atom, n, l, ml, and ms. The energy of an electron in an isolated atom dep
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The energy of an electron in an isolated atom depends on b. n only.

Explanation:

The quantum number n, known as the principal quantum number represents the relative overall energy of each orbital.

The sets of orbitals with the same n value are often referred to as an electron shell, in an isolated atom all electrons in a subshell have exactly the same level of energy.

The principal quantum number comes from the solution of the Schrödinger wave equation, which describes energy in eigenstates E_n, and for the case of an hydrogen atom we have:

E_n=-\cfrac{13.6}{n^2}\, eV

Thus for each value of n we can describe the orbital and the energy corresponding to each electron on such orbital.

Leni [432]

Option (ii) B is the correct option. The object on the moon has greater mass.

To resolve this, utilize the formulas Force = Mass * Acceleration.

The equation can be used to find the mass given the force in Newtons, using 9.8 m/s² for the acceleration of gravity of the earth and 1.6 m/s² for the moon.

Calculating the mass on earth:

30 N = 9.8 m/s² * mass

This results in a mass of 3.0 kg for the object on Earth.

Calculating the mass of the moon:

30 N = 1.6 m/s²2 * mass

Thus, the moon's object has a mass of 19. kg.

This can be explained by the fact that the earth has a stronger gravitational pull than the moon, producing more force per kilogram of mass. As a result, the moon's mass must be bigger to produce the same amount of force at a lower acceleration from gravity (1.6 m/s² vs. 9.8 m/s²).
