Answer: The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Weight = Mass × Acceleration

Let the mass of the space probe be m

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth = g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W

W=m\times g

Acceleration due to gravity on the Jupiter = g' = 2.5g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W'

W'=mg'=m\times 2.5g

\frac{W'}{W}=\frac{m\times 2.5g}{m\times g}

W'=2.5\times W

The weight of the space probe on the Jupiter will be 2.5 times the weight of the space probe on earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

The altitude of the International Space Station ttt minutes after its perigee (closest point), in kilometers, is given by \qquad
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

T = 92.8 min

Explanation:

Given:

The altitude of the International Space Station t minutes after its perigee (closest point), in kilometers, is given by:

                               A(t) = 415 - sin(\frac{2*\pi (t+23.2)}{92.8})

Find:

- How long does the International Space Station take to orbit the earth? Give an exact answer.

Solution:

- Using the the expression given we can extract the angular speed of the International Space Station orbit:

                                 A(t) = 415 - sin({\frac{2*\pi*t }{92.8} + \frac{23.2*2*\pi }{92.8} )

- Where the coefficient of t is angular speed of orbit w = 2*p / 92.8

- We know that the relation between angular speed w and time period T of an orbit is related by:

                                T = 2*p / w

                                T = 2*p / (2*p / 92.8)

Hence,                     T = 92.8 min

The amount of energy the body uses when at rest is referred to as _____.
Nesterboy [21]

The answer is Basal Metabolic Rate. It is the total amount of energy expressed in calories that an individual needs to keep the body working at rest. Some of those progressions are blood circulation, breathing, cell growth, controlling body temperature, nerve and brain function, and tightening of muscles.

if a tank filled with water contains a block and the height of the water above point A within the block is 0.6meter, what's the
Fittoniya [83]
The pressure exerted by a fluid solely relies on the depth or height of the fluid, its density, and the gravitational constant. These three are related in the equation:

Pressure = density x g x height

In the problem, point A is within the block inside the tank. The water above the block is assumed to be 0.6 meters. This gives a point A pressure of:

P = 1000 kg/m^3 * 9.81 m/s^2 * 0.6 m = 5,886 Pa or 5.88KPa
