An object's weight is dependent upon its location in the universe. Why is this true?

Physics

Explanation :

We know that the weight of an object is given by :

W=mg

Where,

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The value of g changes from one location to another.

An object's weight is dependent upon its location in the universe. This statement is true. This is because g varies in different places so the weight also varies.

Hence, the correct option is (D) " This is true because weight is the magnitude of gravitational force acting on an object, and since gravitational force varies in different places in the universe, weight also varies ".

Because an object's weight is the measure of the gravitational
forces between the object and other things that have mass. 

In its travels around the universe, the object can be in the
neighborhood of other things with huge mass or tiny mass,
and it can be nearer to them or farther away from them.  So
the gravitational forces between the object and other things
can have widely different values in different places.

Read the choices very carefully. 
I think 'D' is the one that says this.

What was the speed of a space shuttle that orbited Earth at an altitude of 1482 km?
gregori [183]

Answer:

v = 7121.3 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the centripetal force for the space shuttle is due to gravitational force of earth due to which it will rotate in circular path with constant speed

so here we will have

\frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

here we know that

r = orbital radius = 6370 km + 1482 km

r = 7.852 \times 10^6 m

also we know that

M = 5.97 \times 10^{24} kg

now we will have

v^2 = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.97 \times 10^{24})}{7.852 \times 10^6}

v^2 = 5.07 \times 10^7

v = 7121.3 m/s
