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>

You are driving due north on i-81 to come to jmu with a speed of 10 m/s, suddenly you realize you forgot your book. You make a u
Readme [11.4K]

first we make a U turn and travel towards home in t = 20 s

so the distance of home from initial position is

d_1 = v*t_1

d_1 = 10*20 = 200 m

Now after picking up the book we travel back with speed 20 m/s

so again after t = 20 s the displacement is given as

d_2 = v*t = 20*20 = 400 m

so the net displacement is given as

\vec d = \vec d_2 - \vec d_1

\vec d = 400 - 200 = 200 m

so it will be displaced by total displacement 200 m

How long does it take an automobile traveling 66.7 km/h to become even with a car that is traveling in another lane at 52.7 km/h
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The  time taken is  t =  32.5 \  s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  speed  of  first car is  v_1  =  66.7 \ km/h  =  18.3 \  m/s

    The  speed  of  second car is v_2  =  52.7 \ km/h  =  14.64 \  m/s

   The  initial distance of separation is  d =  119 \ m

The distance covered by first car is mathematically represented as

     d_t =  d_i  +  d_f

Here  d_i is the initial distance which is  0 m/s

  and  d_f  is the final distance covered which is  evaluated as d_f  =  v_1 * t

So

     d_t =  0 \  m/s  +  (v_1 * t )

     d_t =  0 \  m/s  +  (18.3 * t )

The distance covered by second  car is mathematically represented as

     d_t =  d_i  +  d_f

Here  d_i is the initial distance which is  119 m

  and  d_f  is the final distance covered which is  evaluated as d_f  =  v_2* t

       d_t =  119  + 14.64 *  t

Given that the two car are now in the same position we have that

    119  + 14.64 *  t  =   0   +  (18.3 * t )

   t =  32.5 \  s

Two tugboats are moving a barge. Tugboat A pushes on the barge with a force of 3000n. Tugboat B pulls with a force of 5000 Newto
kenny6666 [7]

The net force on the barge is 8000 N

Explanation:

In order to find the net force on the badge, we have to use the rules of vector addition, since force is a vector quantity.

In this problem, we have two forces:

  • The force of tugboat A, F_A = 3000 N, acting in a certain direction
  • The force of tugboat B, F_B = 5000 N, also acting in the same direction

Since the two forces act in the same direction, this means that we can simply add their magnitudes to find the net combined force on the barge. Therefore, we get

F=F_A+F_B = 3000 + 5000 = 8000 N

and the direction is the same as the direction of the two forces.
