Well first of all, the Space Shuttle program ended a few years ago, and none have been launched since then.

The Shuttle never went to places that were properly referred to as "outer space". When they flew, the Space Shuttles went to low Earth orbit, where the acceleration of gravity is roughly 85% of its value on the Earth's surface.

So a Shuttle that weighed 20 million Newtons on the launch pad weighed roughly  17 million Newtons while in orbit.

Parallel to the handle, what is the force of friction acting on the suitcase?
mrs_skeptik [129]
 <span>Lets call F the friction force which will act horizontally backwards. 

As you are travelling at a constant velosity horizontally there is no overall resultant force in this direction. 

ie. the force you pull with will be equal to the friction force resisting you. (you will initially have to have pulled with a greater force than the friction to get the suitcase moving) 

the value of your force pulling is 60 cos26.9 (horizontally) - you should have learnt about resolving forces. 

this must be equal to F 

so 

F=60cos26.9 
F=53.5N

hope this helps you

There's an electric field in some region of space that doesn't change with position. An electron starts moving with a speed of 2
tangare [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

speed of Electron u=2\times 10^7\ m/s

final speed of Electron v=4\times 10^7\ m/s

distance traveled d=1.2\ cm

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=Final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

(4\times 10^7)^2-(2\times 10^7)^2=2\times a\times 1.2\times 10^{-2}

a=5\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2

acceleration is given by a=\frac{qE}{m}

where q=charge of electron

m=mass of electron

E=electric Field strength

5\times 10^{16}=\frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\cdot E}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

E=248.3\ kN/C

What is the final velocity of a car that starts at 22 m/s and accelerates at 3.78 m/s for distance of 45 m
Pepsi [2]

v^2 = v0^2 +2ad v^2 = 22^2 + 2*3.78*45 = 824.2 v= √824.2 = 28.7 m/s

Jerry runs 60 meters east and then 20 meters west in 10
liraira [26]

Answer: 8 meters per second

Explanation: If you add 60 to 20 you get 80 meters and since he ran those 80 meters in 10 seconds you divide 80 by ten and get 8 and then you get 8m/s
