Sunday, July 20, marked 45 years since the United States put the first two astronauts safely on the moon. The cost for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs was more than $25 billion at the time more like $110 billion in today’s world. The ensuing U.S. space efforts have cost an additional $196 billion for the shuttle and $50 billion for the space station. NASA’s total inflation-adjusted costs have been more than $900 billion since its creation in 1958 through 2014 (more than $16 billion per year). Looking back, have we gotten our money’s worth from the investment?

Answer:
19.48 m
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy = mgh
Current weight = 539 N
Weight = mg = 539 N
Mass x Acceleration = 539 N
Mass x 9.81 = 539
Mass = 54.94 kg
Gravitational potential energy = mgh = 10500 J
54.94 x 9.81 x h = 10500
h = 19.48 m
Height of sitting = 19.48 m
Answer:
They would land at the same time
Explanation:
They would land at the same exact time.
As weird, impossible and unbelievable as it appears. When in a vacuum, every weight, body and material when released from the same height would land on the ground at the same time. This also means that like in the question, a feather and a ball would land at the same time. And just for illustrations as well, a feather and a car would land at the same time as well.
Even tho one is stronger then the other... they are both alike because they are still nuclear forces.
Answer:
a = 2.22 [m/s^2]
Explanation:
First we have to convert from kilometers per hour to meters per second
We have to use the following kinematics equation:
where:
Vf = final velocity = 11.11 [m/s]
Vi = initial velocity = 0
a = acceleration [m/s^2]
t = time = 5 [s]
The initial speed is taken as zero, as the car starts from zero.
11.11 = 0 + (a*5)
a = 2.22 [m/s^2]
