A spaceship orbiting earth flies to the moon. How is the gravitational force pulling on the spaceship related to the distance th

at the spaceship is from the earth?
A. As the distance from the earth increases, the gravitational pull on the spaceship would decrease.


B. The gravitational pull of the earth is constant and therefore the gravitational pull on would not change.


C. As the distance from the earth decreases, the gravitational pull on the spaceship would decrease.


D. There is no gravity on the moon and therefore only the earth will exert gravitational force on the spaceship.

A is Correct, because as you increase the distance  between the spaceship and Earth the gravitational force would be less and according to Isaac Newton's Gravitational formula F = (G Mm)/r^2, the distance r is in inverse relationship to the Force.

19) A child on a sled starts from rest at the top of a 15.0° slope. If the trip to the bottom takes 15.2 s,
sveticcg [70]

Answer: 288.8 m

Explanation:

We have the following data:

t=15.2 s is the time it takes to the child to reach the bottom of the slope

V_{o}=0 is the initial velocity (the child started from rest)

\theta=15\° is the angle of the slope

d is the length of the slope

Now, the Force exerted on the sled along the ramp is:

F=ma (1)

Where m is the mass of the sled and a its acceleration

In addition, if we draw a free body diagram of this sled, the force along the ramp will be:

F=mg sin \theta (2)

Where g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

Then:

ma=mg sin \theta (3)

Finding a:

a=g sin \theta (4)

a=9.8 m/s^{2} sin(15\°) (5)

a=2.5 m/s^{2} (6)

Now, we will use the following kinematic equations to find d:

V=V_{o}+at (7)

V^{2}=V_{o}^{2}+2ad (8)

Where V is the final velocity

Finding V from (7):

V=at=(2.5 m/s^{2})(15.2 s) (9)

V=38 m/s (10)

Substituting (10) in (8):

(38 m/s)^{2}=2(2.5 m/s^{2})d (11)

Finding d:

d=288.8 m

A book starts on a shelf 1 m off of the ground. You then move the book to a higher shelf that is 3 m off of the ground. If the s
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Using g = 9.8: 1.02 kg, Using g = 10: 1 kg

Explanation:

E = mgh

20 = m(9.8)(3 - 1)

20 = 9.8m(2)

20 = 19.6m

m = 1.02 kg

I'm now assuming you may be using a g constant of 10, thus the close integer result, in which case the mass would be exactly 1 kilogram.

Who created the theory of general relativity?
pantera1 [17]
Who created the theory of general relativity?:

The answer would be: Albert Einstein.

Albert Einstein developed the general relativity theory (gravitation). 

The year he developed the general relativity theory or (GR) was back in 1907 and 1915. Then many other contributions after 1915.

Thanks,
