Item 16 The weight w (in pounds) of an object varies inversely with the square of the distance d (in miles) of the object from t

he center of Earth. At sea level (3978 miles from the center of Earth), an astronaut weighs 210 pounds. How much does the astronaut weigh 200 miles above sea level

S_A_V [24]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

190.3759 pounds

Explanation:

If the astronaut weighs 210 pounds when he is at a distance of 3978 miles from the Earth's center, then he will weigh

210 [3978 / (3978 + 200) ]² = 190.3759 pounds

at an altitude of 200 km.

Degrees of loudness and softness in music are called dynamics. I don’t really have an explanation for this, that’s just what they’re called. I know because I’m a violinist and learned it when I first started playing.

A 7.1 resistor and a 4.8 resistor are connected in series with a battery. the potential difference across the 4.8 resistor is me
Taya2010 [7]
For resistors in series in a DC circuit, the potential difference is proportional to the resistance.

The voltage V across the 7.1 ohm resistor can be found from the proportion
   V/7.1 = 12/4.8
   V = 7.1*12/4.8 = 17.75

The potential difference at the battery terminals is the sum of the potential differences across the two series resistors.
   Vbatt = 17.75 V + 12 V
   Vbatt = 29.75 V

1. Which of the following transformations is an example of a β−-decay?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

1. C: 31/14 Si becomes 31/15 because a nuetron

2. A: 238  92U because the very long half-life means a very small rate of decay

3. D: Charge conservation is not satisfied

4. B: of the four nuclear decay processes only the α-decay changes the baryon number and does so in increments of four

What is the anode in an alkaline battery?
andrew-mc [135]

For instance, in an alkaline battery, the anode is typically made of zinc, and manganese dioxide acts as the cathode. And the electrolyte between and inside those electrodes contains ions. ... These free electrons congregate inside the anode (the bottom, flat part of an alkaline battery)

Hope this helps:)
