The spacecraft is orbiting at 2000 Km. The engine has to put it on 4000 km altitude, therefore the engine has to push it into another 2000 km, so that it will attain the 4000 km altitude.

Given. Gravitational pull of planet Mars g = 3.71 m/s²

            Mass of the spacecraft m = 5000 kg

Formula: W = fd   F = mg    

               W = mgh

               W = (5000 Kg)(3. 71 m/s²)(2 x 10⁶m)

               W = 3.71 x 10¹⁰ J

What would you do to improve the precision of an experiment?
GenaCL600 [577]

Explanation:

Precision represents that how close the different measurements of the sample one take are to one another.

  • One can increase the precision in lab by paying attention to each and every detail.
  • Usage of the equipment properly and also increasing the sample size.
  • Ensuring that the equipment is calibrated properly. They should be clean and functioning. Using equipment which is not functioning correctly can cause results to swing wildly and also bits of the debris stuck to the equipment can influence the measurements of the mass and the volume.
  • Each measurement must be taken multiple times, especially if experiments in which combining of the substances in specific amounts is involved.

Two identical 7.10-gg metal spheres (small enough to be treated as particles) are hung from separate 700-mmmm strings attached t
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let m be mass of each sphere and θ be angle, string makes with vertex in equilibrium.

Let T be tension in the hanging string

T cosθ = mg ( for balancing in vertical direction )

for balancing in horizontal direction

Tsinθ = F ( F is force of repulsion between two charges sphere)

Dividing the two equations

Tanθ = F / mg

tan17 = F / (7.1 x 10⁻³ x 9.8)

F = 21.27 x 10⁻³ N

if q be charge on each sphere , force of repulsion between the two

F = k q x q / r² ( r is distance between two sphere , r = 2 x .7 x sin17  = .41 m )

21.27 x 10⁻³  = (9 X 10⁹ x q²) / .41²

q² = .3973 x 10⁻¹²

q = .63 x 10⁻⁶ C

no of electrons required  = q / charge on a single electron

= .63 x 10⁻⁶ / 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= .39375 x 10¹³

3.9375 x 10¹² .

Determine the right answer to fill in the blank spaces
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

A pure substance is something that is entirely made up of particles that are identical to each other.

Any substance that is not pure, must be a mixture.

We are surrounded by mixtures. The air is a mixture of gases . The oceans are a mixture of (mainly) water and salt. The solid earth is mostly rock, which is a mixture of different minerals.

Natural resources are substances we need and use, which occur naturally. Some come from living things, (example) cotton other are non-living (example)  sand.

The opposite of a natural resource is a made resource.
