We must remember that a body in Earth orbit is under perpetual free fall, that is, that the body moves under a constant speed in constant around the earth.

The moment one of the charges is released, its displacement speed will be equal to that of the ship, so it will tend to continue rotating in the orbit in which the ship was traveling.

The correct answer is D. The payload will remain in the same orbit with the space shuttle.

The polynomial 0.041h - 0.018A - 2.69 can be used to estimate the lung capacity, in liters, of a female with height h centimeter
Elden [556K]

Answer:

5 liters.

Explanation:

We are being given the expression

V = 0.041h - 0.018A - 2.69

The height h is 165 cm.

The Age A is 65 years old.

So we replace the values of h and A in the equation given:

V = 0.041 * 165 + 0.018 * 65 - 2.69 = 5.245 liters.

Rounding, we notice that 5.245 liters is closer to 5 than 6. So the answer would be 5 liters.

How does the north pole of a magnet respond to the poles of other magnets?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A magnet has a magnetic field around it which originates at the north pole and enters through the south pole.

In a magnet, like poles will repel each other and unlike poles will attract.

  • The north pole of one magnet will repel another north pole of another magnet.
  • North pole of one magnet will attract the south pole of another magnet.
  • This is the law of attraction and repulsion of magnet.

A charge Q is transferred from an initially uncharged plastic ball to an identical ball 17 cm away. The force of attraction is t
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

2.92 x 10¹² electrons

Explanation:

given,

distance between two plastic ball, r = 17 cm

                                      r = 0.17 m

Force of attraction = F = 68 mN

                F = 0.068 N

number of electron transferred from one ball to another.

using Coulomb Force equation

F = \dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}

0.068 = \dfrac{9\times 10^9\times q^2}{0.17^2}

q² = 2.1835 x 10⁻¹³

q = 4.67 x 10⁻⁷ C

now, number of electron

 N = \dfrac{q}{e}

e is the charge of electron which is equal to 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

  N = \dfrac{4.67\times 10^{-7}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

       N = 2.92 x 10¹² electrons

electrons were transferred from one ball to the other is 2.92 x 10¹²
