If all else stays the same, which would cause an increase in the gravitational force on a space shuttle?

Physics

Answer:

decreasing the distance of the space shuttle from Earth

increasing the universal gravitational constant acting on the space shuttle*

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force acting between the Earth and the shuttle is given by:

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

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the Earth

m is the mass of the shuttle

r is the distance between the shuttle and the Earth's center

By looking at the formula, we see check the effect of each statement given:

- increasing the distance of the space shuttle from Earth  --> FALSE: this means increasing r in the formula, so the gravitational force would decrease

- decreasing the distance of the space shuttle from Earth  --> TRUE: this means decreasing r in the formula, so the gravitational force would increase

- increasing the universal gravitational constant acting on the space shuttle  --> TRUE: this means increasing G in the formula, so the gravitational force would increase. *However, technically is not possible to change the value of G, since it is a universal constant and it has the same value everywhere.

- decreasing the universal gravitational constant acting on the space shuttle: FALSE --> Decreasing G in the formula would decrease the magnitude of the force.

"decreasing the distance of the space shuttle from Earth" 

F = Gm(1)m(2)/R²
where R is the distance between the 2 objects, as it decreases, the force increases.

Newtons second law in words??​
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Explanation:

it's newton's second law

What is the amplitude of the wave shown in the diagram?
Marina86 [1]
The amplitude is from the absolute value of the 0 point on the y-axis to the highest(peak) or lowest(troph) point of the wave. In this question, 3cm is the highest and -3cm is the lowest, so the amplitude is 3cm.

Oil at 150 C flows slowly through a long, thin-walled pipe of 30-mm inner diameter. The pipe is suspended in a room for which th
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

<em>1.01 W/m</em>

Explanation:

diameter of the pipe d = 30 mm = 0.03 m

radius of the pipe r = d/2 = 0.015 m

external air temperature Ta = 20 °C

temperature of pipe wall Tw = 150 °C

convection coefficient at outer tube surface h = 11 W/m^2-K

From the above,<em> we assumed that the pipe wall and the oil are in thermal equilibrium</em>.

area of the pipe per unit length A = \pi r ^{2} = 7.069*10^{-4} m^2/m

convectional heat loss Q = Ah(Tw - Ta)

Q = 7.069 x 10^-4 x 11 x (150 - 20)

Q = 7.069 x 10^-4 x 11 x 130 = <em>1.01 W/m</em>
