A spacecraft of mass 1500 kg orbits the earth at an altitude of approximately 450 km above the surface of the earth. Assuming a

circular orbit, what is the attractive force that the earth exerts to keep the spacecraft+ in orbit? Answer: (a) 1.28x 10^7 (N) (b) 2.99 x 10^7 (N) (c) 3.56 x 10^7 (N). (d) 4.11 x 10^7 (N) (e) 5.06x 10^7 (N)

Answer:

1.28 x 10^4 N

Explanation:

m = 1500 kg, h = 450 km, radius of earth, R = 6400 km

Let the acceleration due to gravity at this height is g'

g' / g = {R / (R + h)}^2

g' / g = {6400 /  (6850)}^2

g' = 8.55 m/s^2

The force between the spacecraft and teh earth is teh weight of teh spacecraft

W = m x g' = 1500 x 8.55 = 1.28 x 10^4 N

What do a control group and an experiment group have in common ?
Vlad [161]
<span>Whatever the focus of the experiment is, plus any others factors that might influence the outcome of the experiment. If you are testing a new cancer drug, the experimental group and the control group must both be people with the same type of cancer, and both be a representative distribution of the population, all races, genders, ages, etc. You want the only difference in the two groups to be what you are studying, i.e. the effects of the drug.</span>

If the wavelength is doubled what happens to the period​
Temka [501]

Answer: Wave speed may equal frequency*wavelength. Yet doubling the frequency only halves the wavelength; wave speed remains the same. To change the wave speed, the medium would have to be changed. 24. What are some simple steps I can take to protect my privacy online? Many people ... So if you double the frequency and keep the speed constant, the wavelength halves to give the same speed with the doubled frequency. 3.8k views ... The period of a note is 0.3 seconds and the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s. So if you double the frequency and keep the speed constant, the wavelength halves to give the same speed with the doubled frequency. What is the period of a wave if the wavelength is 100m and the speed is 200 m/s? ... If you move towards a light source, the wavelength decreases.
