In order for a space shuttle to leave Earth, it must produce a great amount of thrust. Its rocket boosters create this thrusting

force by burning great amounts of fuel. However, once in space, the shuttle needs very little fuel. It circles Earth while gravity pulls it toward Earth. What term describes the motion of the shuttle around Earth?

Answer:

Orbit

Explanation:

The term that describes motion of the shuttle around earth is called as<em> Orbit.</em>

The orbit is defined as a regular repeating path that object takes around another.

The shuttle circles around the earth at a constant distance from earth surface is because of earth gravity and forward motion of earth.

Answer:

Gravity.

Rocket ships.

Ball.

Basketball.

Explanation:

Gravity has to do a lot with air. It puts the planets in there area.

Rocket Ship has to do a lot with air. If i'm right, they calculate the area, weather, about the air.

A ball gets throwed in the air, which gravity comes into place.

Basketball is also a similar example to a ball.

Answer:

A)  350 N

B)  58.33 N

C)  35 kg

D)  35 kg

Explanation:

If we use that g = 10 m/s^2, then the acceleration of gravity on the Moon will be 10/6 m/s^2 = 5/3 m/s*2

The weight of the object on Earth is given by:

Weight = mass * g = 35 * 10 = 350 N

The weight of the object on the Moon:

Weight = mass * gmoon = 35 * 5/3 = 58.33 N

The mass of the object on Earth is 35 kg

The mass of the object on the Moon is exactly the same as on the Earth (35 kg) since the mass is a quantity inherent to the object and not to its location.

A bowling ball of mass 5.8 kg moves in a straight line at 4.34 m/s How fast must a Ping-Pong ball of mass 2.214 g move in a stra
lilavasa [31]

Answer: 11369.46 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m_{1}=5.8 kg is the mass of the bowling ball

V_{1}=4.34 m/s is the velocity of the bowling ball

m_{2}=2.214 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.002214 kg is the mass of the ping-pong ball

V_{2} is the velocity of the ping-pong ball

Now, the momentum p_{1} of the bowling ball is:

p_{1}=m_{1}V_{1} (1)

p_{1}=(5.8 kg)(4.34 m/s)  

p_{1}=25.172 kg m/s (2)

And the momentum p_{2} of the ping-pong ball is:

p_{2}=m_{2}V_{2} (3)

If the momentum of the bowling ball is equal to the momentum of the ping-pong ball:

p_{1}=p_{2} (4)

m_{1}V_{1}=m_{2}V_{2} (5)

Isolating V_{2}:

V_{2}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{2}} (6)

V_{2}=\frac{25.172 kg m/s}{0.002214 kg} (7)

Finally:

V_{2}=11369.46 m/s

A uniform rod of length L rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The rod pivots about a fixed frictionless axis at one end.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

A) ω = 6v/19L

B) K2/K1 = 3/19

Explanation:

Mr = Mass of rod

Mb = Mass of bullet = Mr/4

Ir = (1/3)(Mr)L²

Ib = MbRb²

Radius of rotation of bullet Rb = L/2

A) From conservation of angular momentum,

L1 = L2

(Mb)v(L/2) = (Ir+ Ib)ω2

Where Ir is moment of inertia of rod while Ib is moment of inertia of bullet.

(Mr/4)(vL/2) = [(1/3)(Mr)L² + (Mr/4)(L/2)²]ω2

(MrvL/8) = [((Mr)L²/3) + (MrL²/16)]ω2

Divide each term by Mr;

vL/8 = (L²/3 + L²/16)ω2

vL/8 = (19L²/48)ω2

Divide both sides by L to obtain;

v/8 = (19L/48)ω2

Thus;

ω2 = 48v/(19x8L) = 6v/19L

B) K1 = K1b + K1r

K1 = (1/2)(Mb)v² + Ir(w1²)

= (1/2)(Mr/4)v² + (1/3)(Mr)L²(0²)

= (1/8)(Mr)v²

K2 = (1/2)(Isys)(ω2²)

I(sys) is (Ir+ Ib). This gives us;

Isys = (19L²Mr/48)

K2 =(1/2)(19L²Mr/48)(6v/19L)²

= (1/2)(36v²Mr/(48x19)) = 3v²Mr/152

Thus, the ratio, K2/K1 =

[3v²Mr/152] / (1/8)(Mr)v² = 24/152 = 3/19
