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

Answer:

a. collectivism

Explanation:

the practice or principle of giving a group priority over each individual in it.

A good example of this is culture. Collectivism in cultural terms refers to a culture that privileges family and community over individuals. For example, children in collectivist societies are likely to take care of elderly parents if they fall ill and will change their own plans in the event of a family emergency.

A exercise ball is on a table 2.5 m above the ground. What is the mass
horsena [70]

Answer:

2.27kg

Explanation:

The Potential energy gained = Force gravity× Height

Force gravity on the ball is GPE/ height

56.8/2.5=22.72N

the mass = 22.72/10= 2.27kg

Two point sources produce waves of the same wavelength that are in phase. At a point midway between the sources, you would expec
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Constructive Interference.

Explanation:

Constructive Interference.

Definition:

Two waves meet in such a way their highs(Crests) combine to form a new waves whose magnitude is the sum of magnitude of combining waves.

Since two waves have same wavelength and are in phase so when they combine they well form a way which has the magnitude equal to the sum of the magnitude of both waves.

Reasons why it is Constructive Interference:Waves

  • Have Same wavelength
  • Are in phase (Can have phase difference of 2π
  • Have crests aligned with each other (Appear at same point)

An image of the moon is focused onto a screen using a converging lens of focal length f= 34.3 cm. The diameter of the moon is 3.
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The diameter of the moon's image is 0.31 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Focal length = 34.3 cm

Diameter of the moon d=3.48\times10^{6}\ m

Mean distance from the earth d=3.85\times10^{8}\ m

At that distance the object is assumes to be at infinity. hence the image will be formed at a distance equal to focal length

So, the image distance is 34.3 cm.

We need to calculate the  diameter of the moon's image

Using formula of magnification

m= \dfrac{image\ distance}{object\ distance}=\dfrac{height\ of\ image}{height\ of\ object}

\dfrac{0.343}{3.85\times10^{8}}=\dfrac{h'}{3.48\times10^{6}}

h'=\dfrac{0.343\times3.48\times10^{6}}{3.85\times10^{8}}

h'=0.0031\ m= 0.31\ cm

Hence, The diameter of the moon's image is 0.31 cm.
