Answer:

The answer is C)The force of gravity from Earth acting on the spacecraft decreased because the distance from Earth increased.

Explanation:

Gravity, a force, is dependent on the mass of the object exerting the gravity and the distance of an outside object from that object. The larger the object, the more gravity it will exert on an outside object. This force decreases as you move away from the object, but it will always still exist and never be equal to 0.

Answer:

421.83 m.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Height (h) = 396.9 m

Initial velocity (u) = 46.87 m/s

Horizontal distance (s) =...?

First, we shall determine the time taken for the ball to get to the ground.

This can be calculated by doing the following:

t = √(2h/g)

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) = 396.9 m

Time (t) =.?

t = √(2h/g)

t = √(2 x 396.9 / 9.8)

t = √81

t = 9 secs.

Therefore, it took 9 secs fir the ball to get to the ground.

Finally, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the ball as illustrated below:

Time (t) = 9 secs.

Initial velocity (u) = 46.87 m/s

Horizontal distance (s) =...?

s = ut

s = 46.87 x 9

s = 421.83 m

Therefore, the horizontal distance travelled by the ball is 421.83 m

Consider the following statement:

vovangra [49]

Answer:

The statement "The magnetic field of a magnet comes out of the north pole and goes into the south pole" is imprecise

Explanation:

This is because the zero divergence equation (∇ · B = 0 ) is valid for any magnetic field, even if it is time dependent rather than static. Physically, it means that there are no magnetic charges otherwise we would have ∇ · B ∝ ρmag instead of ∇ · B = 0. Consequently, the magnetic field lines never begin or end anywhere in space; instead they form closed loops or run from infinity to infinity.

Why do astronomers believe that triton is a captured moon?

Dafna11 [192]

Answer: Accoding to research "Triton is unique among all the large moons in the solar system because it orbits Neptune in a direction opposite to the planet's rotation (a "retrograde" orbit). It is unlikely to have formed in this configuration and was probably captured from elsewhere."

On January 22, 1943, the temperature in Spearfish, South Dakota, rose from -4.0∘F∘F to 45.0∘F∘F in just 2 minutes. What was the

Margaret [11]

Answer:

The change in temperature, $\Delta T=9.45^{\circ} C$

Explanation:

Given that,

The temperature in Spearfish, South Dakota, rose from $-4^{\circ} F\ to\ 45^{\circ} F$ in just 2 minutes. We need to find the temperature change in Celsius degrees. Change in temperature is given by final temperature minus initial temperature such that,
