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.

What does it mean when work is positive?
jenyasd209 [6]
Both positive work and negative work have meaning: Positive work follows when the force has a component parallel to the displacement. Positive work adds energy to a system. Negative work follows when the force has a component opposite or against the displacement.

How many kilocalories are generated when the brakes are used to bring a 1200-kg car to rest from a speed of 95 km/h ? 1 kcal = 4
timofeeve [1]
<span>Answer: 1st, identify the givens and the unknown - this will give you parameter of what concept and formula are you going to use. Given: m= 1200kg v initial = 95km/hr v final = 0 2nd, focus on the units - in most cases units speak for the concept the unit of the unknown is kcal, thus its the unit of energy or work so, W = ? 3rd, provide the appropriate formula - give formula or equation that the given and the unknown are present since W = delta K.E =delta P.E W= 0.5m( vf^2 - vi^2) ---> best formula 4th, Substitute the given to the formula since 1 Joule = 1Nm 1N = 1kgms^-2 1cal = 4.19 J we express first 95 km/hr to m/s 95km/hr x 1000m/1km x 1hr/3600sec = 26.39 m/sec W= 0.5(1200kg)[(0^2- (26.39m/sec)^2] W=600 kg(0 - 696.43m^2/s^2) W=600kg(-696.43m^2/s^2) W=417859.3Nm or 417859.3 J W = 417859.3 J x 1 cal /4.19 J W = 99,727.7 cal or 99.728 kcal</span>

If
timama [110]

Answer:

Workdone = 1960 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 5kg

Force = 49N

Height (distance) = 40m

To find the workdone;

Workdone = force * distance

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Workdone = 49*40

Workdone = 1960 Joules.

Therefore, the amount of work done on the bowling ball to lift it is 1960 Joules.

Being able to see a square in the middle of the image despite not having lines to form a square represents the Gestalt principle
vredina [299]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is -

C. closure.

Gestalt principle of closure describes how we perceive complete figures even when the information that form the figure is missing.

This is due the fact that our brain responds to the familiar patterns inspite of getting incomplete information.

For instance, in the given question, we are able to perceive an image of square in the center despite not having actual lines that form a square.

Thus, it represents principle of closure.
