Answer: Decreasing the distance of the space shuttle from Earth .

Explanation:

According to expression of gravitational force:

$F=\frac{G\times m_1\times m_2}{r^2}$

G = gravitational constant

$m_1, m_2$ = masses of two objects

r = Distance between the two objects.

F = Gravitational force

From the above expression we can say that gravitational force is inversely proportional to squared of the distance between the two masses.

$F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}$

So, in order to increase the gravitational force on space shuttle distance between the space space shuttle must be decreased.

Hence, the correct answer 'decreasing the distance of the space shuttle from Earth '.

Amy swims 500 m (0.5 Km) in 6 minutes (0.1 hour). What was her speed in Kilometers per hour? A. 8.3 Km/hr B. 5 Km/hr C. 50 Km/hr

kondor19780726 [428]

Speed = Distance ÷ Time so divide .5 km by .1h. .5 km÷.1h=5 km/h, so the answer is B. 5km/h.

The period of a satellite circling planet Nutron is observed to be 84 s when it is in a circular orbit with a radius of 8.0 x 10

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

4.3 * 10^28 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Period, T = 84s

Radius of satellite orbit, r = 8*10^6

Using the relation :

M = 4π²r³ / GT²

Where G = Gravitational constant, 6.67 * 10^-11

M = 4*π^2*(8*10^6)^3 / 6.67 * 10^-11 * 84^2

M = (20218.191872 * 10^18) / 47063.52 * 10^-11

M = 0.4295937 * 10^18 - (-11)

M = 0.4295937 * 10^29

M = 4.295937 * 10^28 kg

M = 4.3 * 10^28 kg

Mass of planet Nutron = 4.3 * 10^28 kg

We have a 24x30 inch piece of metal and we need to make a rectangular box by cutting a square from each corner of the piece and bending up the sides. The width of the piece is 24 inches and its length is 30 inches

When we cut a square of each corner of side x, the base of the box (after bending up the sides) will be (24-2x) and (30-2x), width and length respectively. The volume of the box is

$V=(24-2x)(30-2x)x$
