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.

weqwewe [10]
Choice-B is the correct one. 

-- The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus.
-- Each proton in the nucleus is usually matched by one electron in the 'cloud'.
-- The addition of a proton OR a neutron increases the mass number by 1 .
-- Electrons have such small mass that they don't figure into the atomic mass at all.

in the primitive yo-yo apparatus (figure 1), you replace the solid cylinder with a hollow cylinder of mass m , outer radius r ,
kirza4 [7]

The magnitude of the downward acceleration of the hollow cylinder is 6m/s^2.

Z = I α

T.R =1/2 M ( R^{2} + (R/2)^{2} )α

T.R = 1/2M 5R^{2}/4 α

T = 5Ma/8

Mg - T = Ma

Mg -  5Ma/8 =  Ma

Mg= 5Ma/8 +  Ma = 13Ma / 8

acceleration = 8g/13 = 6 m/s^2

The rate at which an object's velocity with respect to time changes is called its acceleration. The direction of the net force imposed on an item determines its acceleration in relation to that force. According to Newton's Second Law, the magnitude of an object's acceleration is the result of two factors working together

The size of the net balance of all external forces acting on that item is directly proportional to the magnitude of this net resultant force; the magnitude of that object's mass, depending on the materials from which it is built, is inversely related to its mass.

A fast-food restaurant uses a conveyor belt to send the burgers through a grilling machine. if the grilling machine is 1.2 m lon
Vinil7 [7]

length of the grilling machine is 1.2 m

time taken to cook the burger is 2.7 min = 162 s

so the speed of the machine should be like this that if must have to cook till it cross the machine

v = \frac{d}{t}

v = \frac{1.2}{162}

v = 7.41* 10^{-3} m/s

now in one minute the total length of the machine that is covered is given by

L = v*t

L = 7.41*10^{-3}* 60 = 44.4 cm

now distance between the burgers is 15 cm

so total production rate will be

N = \frac{44.4}{15} = 3 burger/min

so it will produce 3 burger per minute

Potassium is a crucial element for the healthy operation of the human body. Potassium occurs naturally in our environment and th
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

a) 0.0288 grams

b) 2.6*10^{-10} J/kg

Explanation:

Given that:

A typical human  body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass

The abundance  for the three isotopes are:

Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41 with abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728% respectively.

a)

Thus; a person with a mass of 80 kg will posses = 80 × 3 = 240 grams of potassium.

However, the amount of potassium that is present in such person is :

0.012% × 240 grams

= 0.012/100 × 240 grams

= 0.0288 grams

b)

the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body is calculate as follows:

First the Dose in (Gy) = \frac{energy \ absorbed }{mass \ of \ the \ body}

= \frac{1.10*10^6*1.6*10^{-14}}{80}

= 2.2*10^{-10} \ J/kg

Effective dose (Sv) = RBE × Dose in Gy

Effective dose (Sv) =  1.2  *2.2*10^{-10} \ J/kg

Effective dose (Sv) = 2.6*10^{-10} J/kg
