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.

The battery for a certain cell phone is rated at 3.70 V. According to the manufacturer it can produce math]3.15 \times 10^{4} J[
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The average current that this cell phone draws when turned on is 0.451 A.

Explanation:

Given;

voltage of the phone, V = 3.7 V

electrical energy of the phone battery, E = 3.15 x 10⁴ J

duration of battery energy, t = 5.25 h

The power the cell phone draws when turned on, is the rate of energy consumption, and this is calculated as follows;

P = \frac{E}{t}

where;

P is power in watts

E is energy in Joules

t is time in seconds

P = \frac{3.15*10^4}{5.25*3600s} = 1.667 \ W

The average current that this cell phone draws when turned on:

P = IV

I = \frac{P}{V} =\frac{1.667}{3.7} = 0.451 \ A

Therefore, the average current that this cell phone draws when turned on is 0.451 A.

Sound travels about 750 miles per hour. if you stand in a canyon and sound a horn, you will hear an echo. suppose it takes about
diamong [38]
The answer to this question would be:3850ft

To answer this question, you need to convert the speed velocity from miles/hour into feet/second. The equation would be: 750 miles/hour x 5280 foot/mile x 1 hour/3600second = 1100 ft/s
Then multiply the time with the velocity= 3.5 second x 1100 ft/s= 3850ft
