Answer:

The gravitational acceleration experienced by the Space Shuttle is 8.87\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The space Shuttle orbits 300 km above Earth's surface, h = 300 km

We need to find the gravitational acceleration experienced by the Space Shuttle. The formula of gravitational acceleration is given by :

g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}

M is mass of earth

R is radius of earth+height above earth's surface

g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{(6400000+300000)^2}\\\\g=8.87\ m/s^2

So, the gravitational acceleration experienced by the Space Shuttle is 8.87\ m/s^2.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 15

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Output force = 3000N

Input force = 200N

To find the mechanical advantage;

Mechanical advantage = output force/input force

Substituting into the equation, we have

Mechanical advantage = 3000/200

Mechanical advantage = 15

The phases of the moon are the changing appearances of the moon, as seen from Earth. Which phase happens immediately after a thi
Drupady [299]

The phases of the moon are the changing appearances of the moon, as seen from Earth. Which phase happens immediately after a third quarter moon are the following

Explanation:

  • After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next. Following the third quarter is the waning crescent, which wanes until the light is completely gone -- a new moon.

waning gibbous phase

  • The waning gibbous phase occurs between the full moon and third quarter phases. The last quarter moon (or a half moon) is when half of the lit portion of the Moon is visible after the waning gibbous phase.

Time takes by the moon to go through all the phases

about 29.5 days

  • It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant “fixed” stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon).
  • At 3rd quarter, the moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. Then we see only a crescent. At new, the moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset, and we don't see any of the illuminated side!

An 80-cm uniform 10-kg bar is resting on two scales, one at either end. A smaller 4-kg mass (m) is placed at a distance of d = 2
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer

given,

length of bar = 80 cm

mass of the bar = 10 kg

smaller mass = 4 kg

distance = 20 cm

s_1 + s_2 = 10 + 4

s_1 + s_2 = 14\ kg

taking moment about B

s_1 \times 0.8 - 10 \times 0.4 - 4 \times 0.6 = 0

s_1 \times 0.8 = 6.4

s_1 = 8\ N

s_2 = 14 - s_1

s_2 = 14 - 8

s_2 = 6 N

difference between two scale = 8 - 6

                                                  = 2 N
