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.

Gauss’ law: a. Relates the surface charge density to the electric field.b. Relates the electric field at points on a closed surf
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

b. Relates the electric field at points on a closed surface to the net charge enclosed by that surface

Explanation:

Gauss's law states that the flux of certain fields through a closed surface is proportional to the magnitude of the sources of that field within the same surface. The electric flux expresses the measure of the electric field that crosses a certain surface. Therefore, the electric field on a closed surface is proportional to the net charge enclosed by that surface.
