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

Can anyone tell me what's the base quantities for Force, Pressure and Charge?​
mr Goodwill [35]

Force, pressure, and charge are all what are called <em>derived units</em>. They come from algebraic combinations of <em>base units</em>, measures of things like length, time, temperature, mass, and current. <em>Speed, </em>for instance, is a derived unit, since it's a combination of length and time in the form [speed] = [length] / [time] (miles per hour, meters per second, etc.)

Force is defined with Newton's equation F = ma, where m is an object's mass and a is its acceleration. It's unit is kg·m/s², which scientists have called a <em>Newton</em>. (Example: They used <em>9 Newtons</em> of force)

Pressure is force applied over an area, defined by the equation P = F/A. We can derive its from Newtons to get a unit of N/m², a unit scientists call the <em>Pascal</em>. (Example: Applying <em>100 Pascals </em>of pressure)

Finally, charge is given by the equation Q = It, where I is the current flowing through an object and t is how long that current flows through. It has a unit of A·s (ampere-seconds), but scientist call this unit a Coulomb. (Example: 20 <em>Coulombs</em> of charge)

Wine and cheese are complement goods because they are consumed together. What would we expect to happen to the equilibrium quant
notka56 [123]

Explanation:

As wine and cheese are consumed together,it means that they both are complimentary goods.

As per law of demand,the fall in price of a complimentary good would increase the demand and shift the demand curve of the other to the right.

The equilibrium quantity of cheese would increase and shift to right when the price of wine falls.

Find the distance covered by a car in 10 second, if it is moving at the speed of 20m/s​
labwork [276]

Answer:

solution

we know that .

s=ut+½at²

now, putting the values in the second equation of motion ,

we get,

S=20×10+1/2×(10)²

S=200+1×100

S=200+100

S=300m

the distance covered by given body or object in 10 seconds is 300 m.
