The centripetal force acting on the space shuttle

Physics
2 answers:
tamaranim1 [39]3 years ago

Answer:

(4) weight

Explanation:

The centripetal force acting on the space shuttle in orbit is given by:

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

m is the mass of the shuttle

v is the tangential speed of the shuttle

r is the radius of its circular orbit

When the shuttle orbits the Earth, the centripetal force that keeps the shuttle in circular motion is given by the gravitational attraction between the shuttle and the Earth, which corresponds to the weight of the shuttle, and it is given by:

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

And this force, therefore, corresponds to the centripetal force.

<u><em>Option (4) is correct. The centripetal force acting on the space shuttle is equal to the </em></u><u><em>weight</em></u><u><em> of the space shuttle.</em></u>

Explanation:

The centripetal force is the force that is experienced by a body when it is moving in a circular path. As the body moves, the force experienced by the body towards its center and it is called as the centripetal force.

When the space shuttle present in the space is moving around the Earth in a particular orbit, there is a force acting on the space shuttle due to its speed in the circular path. This force is the centripetal force.

To keep the space shuttle to move in its definite path, the weight of the space shuttle acts in the direction opposite to the centripetal force and keeps the shuttle from moving out of the path.

Thus, <u><em>Option (4) is correct. The centripetal force acting on the space shuttle is equal to the </em></u><u><em>weight</em></u><u><em> of the space shuttle.</em></u>

A 50 gram meterstick is placed on a fulcrum at its 50 cm mark. A 20 gram mass is attached at the 12 cm mark. Where should a 40 g
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The 40g mass will be attached at 69 cm

Explanation:

First, make a sketch of the meterstick with the masses placed on it;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

               ↓                    Δ                      ↓

             20 g.................50 cm.................40g

                         38 cm                  y cm  

Apply principle of moment;

sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment

40y = 20 (38)

40y = 760

y = 760 / 40

y = 19 cm

Therefore, the 40g mass will be attached at 50cm + 19cm = 69 cm

              12cm             50 cm              69cm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

               ↓                    Δ                      ↓

             20 g.................50 cm.................40g

                         38 cm                 19 cm

The voltage across the diode indicates the energy given to charge carriers (electrons and holes, but more about that later in th
Elis [28]

Answer:

the charge carriers have an energy 2.8 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

The energy in a diode is conserved so the energy supplied must be equal to the energy emitted in the form of photons.

The energy of a photon is given by the Planck expression

             E = h f

the speed of light, wavelength and frequency are related

             c = λ f

we substitute

             E = \frac{h \ c}{\lambda}

a red photon has a wavelength of lam = 700 nm = 700 10⁻⁹ m

we calculate the energy

              E = 6.626 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸/700 10⁻⁹

              E = 2.8397 10⁻¹⁹J

therefore the charge carriers have an energy 2.8 10⁻¹⁹ J,

According to Care-stream's operating manual, what is the acceptable range of exposure indicators?
Aleks [24]

Answer:

correct option is C. 1700 - 2300

Explanation:

solution

according to Care stream, exposure indicators provide the technical adequancy incident radiations on the x ray

and we muse care stream formula that is  

Exposure Index EI = 1000 × log_{10} (mR) + 2000

here 1 mR = 2000 EI

and 2 mR = 2300 EI

and 3 mR = 1700 EI

so here acceptable range of exposure indicators is  1700 - 2300

correct option is C. 1700 - 2300

: A fan is placed on a horizontal track and given a slight push toward an end stop 1.80 meters away. Immediately after the push,
Leokris [45]

Answer:

The initial velocity is 1.27 m/s.

Explanation:

distance, s = 1.8 m

acceleration, a = - 0.45 m/s^2

final velocity, v = 0

let the initial velocity is u.

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 a s \\\\0 = u^2 - 2 \times 0.45\times 1.8\\\\u = 1.27 m/s
