The space shuttle orbits 310 km above the surface of the Earth.

Physics
1 answer:
MAVERICK [17]3 years ago

Answer:

44.7 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the objects is given by:

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

where

G is the gravitational constant

m and M are the masses of the two objects

r is the distance between the centres of the two objects

In this problem, we have:

m=5.0 kg is the mass of the sphere

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg is the Earth's mass

R=6370 km is the Earth's radius, while h=310 km is the altitude of the sphere, so the distance of the sphere from Earth's centre is

r=6370 km+310 km=6680 km=6.68\cdot 10^6 m

Substituting into the equation, we find

F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(5.0 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(6.68\cdot 10^6 m)^2}=44.7 N

Two hypothetical discoveries in Part A deal with moons that, like Earth's moon, are relatively large compared to their planets.
arlik [135]

Answer:

Unusually large moons form in giant impacts, which are relatively rare events

Explanation:

Solution:

- Finding large moons comparable in size to their planets result from impacts of two astro-bodies. The probability of such an event occurring is very rare.

- Even at the best luck, one moon can be made from the result of giant impact. While the probability of 6 planets having moons of comparable sizes is close to impossible. The transition from an undifferentiated cloud to a star system complete with planets and moons takes about 100 million years.

The ________ is located inside the outdoor condenser unit and receives the low-pressure refrigerant vapor through the suction li
dusya [7]

Answer:

Compressor

Explanation:

Compressor - the compressor is a unit that placed at the inner side of the condenser. The main function of the compressor is to increase the pressure by reducing the volume of air. And this reduced volume of air is compressed for the cleaning purpose of the air tube. While condenser is used for heat exchange which converts steam into liquid form.  

It is advisable not to operate the compressor when the outside temperature is below 65 degrees F.

A 75.0 kg man pushes on a 500,000 kg wall for 250 s but it does not move.
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

he does no work on the wall coz wall didn't move

the wall doesn't move so the energy that he use will be wasted

the force that he put on the wall is also zero since the wall didn't move

A vector A with an x-component of 6.00 and a y-component of -4.40 is added to a vector B with x-component 3.30 and a y-component
kirill [66]

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant vector is 13.656 units.

Explanation:

The vector A can be represented vectorially as

 \overrightarrow{r}_{a}=6.00\widehat{i}-4.40\widehat{j}

Similarly vector B can be represented vectorially as

\overrightarrow{r}_{b}=3.30\widehat{i}-5.60\widehat{j}

Thus upon adding the 2 vectors we get

\overrightarrow{r}_{a}+\overrightarrow{r}_{b}=6.00\widehat{i}-4.40\widehat{j}+3.30\widehat{i}-5.60\widehat{j}\\\\=(6.00+3.30)\widehat{i}-(4.40+5.60)\widehat{j}\\\\=9.30\widehat{i}-10.00\widehat{j}

Now the magnitude of the vector is given by:

|r|=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}\\\\|r|=\sqrt{9.30^{2}+(-10)^{2}}\\\\\therefore |r|=13.65units
