Answer:

g = 8.61 m/s²

Explanation:

distance of the International Space Station form earth is 200 Km

mass of the object = 1 Kg

acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s²

mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

acceleration due to gravity = ?

r = 6400 + 200 = 6800 Km = 6.8 x 10⁶ n

using formula

 g = \dfrac{GM}{r^2}

 g = \dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^24}{(6.8\times 10^6)^2}

        g = 8.61 m/s²

A bullet is fired in a horizontal direction with a muzzle velocity of 300m/s.In the absence of air resistance,how far will it ha
Kruka [31]

Answer:

304.9m

Explanation:

Given

Velocity = 300m/s

Tim = 1sec

Required

Horizontal distance S

Using the formula

S= ut+1/2gt²

S = 300(1)+1/2(9.8)(1)²

S = 300+4.9

S = 304.9m

Hence the distance travelled is 304.9m

In preparation for the final exam, our astronomy study group has reconvened to discuss Mercury's unique orbital properties. They
grigory [225]

Answer:

The only incorrect statement is from student B

Explanation:

The planet mercury has a period of revolution of 58.7 Earth days and a rotation period around the sun of 87 days 23 ha, approximately 88 Earth days.

Let's examine student claims using these rotation periods

Student A. The time for 4 turns around the sun is

           t = 4 88

           t = 352 / 58.7 Earth days

In this time I make as many rotations on itself each one with a time to = 58.7 Earth days

           #_rotaciones = t / to

           #_rotations = 352 / 58.7

           #_rotations = 6

therefore this statement is TRUE

student B. the planet rotates 6 times around the Sun

          t = 6 88

          t = 528 s

The number of rotations on itself is

           #_rotaciones = t / to

           #_rotations = 528 / 58.7

           #_rotations = 9

False, turn 9 times

Student C. 8 turns around the sun

           t = 8 88

           t = 704 days

the number of turns on itself is

            #_rotaciones = t / to

            #_rotations = 704 / 58.7

            #_rotations = 12

True

The only incorrect statement is from student B

A baseball travels 200 metes in 6 seconds, what is the baseball’s velocity?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

33.33 m/sec

Explanation:

A baseball travels 200 metes in 6 seconds,

what is the baseball’s velocity?

use the formula: velocity = distance over time

where (d) distance = 200 m

and (t) time = 6 sec.

plugin values into the formula:

v = d / t

  = 200 m / 6 sec

  = 33.33 m/sec.

therefore, the baseball's velocity is 33.33 m/sec

Because CMB radiation was _____ throughout the universe, scientists can only relate the source to the big bang.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: 1 The correct answer is that CMB radiation was spread uniformly throughout the whole universe.This was related to big band theory because this theory predicts that the universe was a very hot place and as it cooled down it should have been filled with laterally the remnant heat over from the Big Bang called as cosmic microwave background.

Answer: 2 CMB radiation was discovered accidentally when Penzias and Wilson were performing some experiment and they noticed a ' hum' noise that was constantly detected by the antenna even after removing all the disturbing sources.

Then it was realized that it is cosmic microwave background radiation.
