Answer:

26 lbf

Explanation:

The mass of the satellite is the same regardless of where it is.

The weight however, depends on the acceleration of gravity.

The universal gravitation equation:

g = G * M / d^2

Where

G: universal gravitation constant (6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s))

M: mass of the body causing the gravitational field (mass of Earth = 6*10^24 kg)

d: distance to that body

15000 miles = 24140 km

The distance is to the center of Earth.

Earth radius = 6371 km

Then:

d = 24140 + 6371 = 30511 km

g = 6.67*10^-11 * 6*10^24 / 30511000^2 = 0.43 m/s^2

Then we calculate the weight:

w = m * a

w = 270 * 0.43 = 116 N

116 N is 26 lbf

Which principle of the software engineering code of ethics has gilbert violated?.
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Judgement

Explanation:

Gilbert is required by the Judgement Principle to "disclose those conflicts of interest that cannot reasonably be avoided or escaped." Since Gilbert professionally believes that the software meets specifications, secures documents, and satisfies user requirements, it is not clear if he violated any principle. However, he could have informed his client of his interest in the software and also presented other software packages of different companies from which the client could make its independent choice.

inn [45]

Answer:

Product deformulation analysis, also known as “chemical reverse engineering” is the process of analytically breaking down a drug, material, or product’s formulation to separate and determine the specific identity and exact quantity of both its major and minor constituent components. This process can be vital to a wide range of scenarios such as identifying hazardous components in consumer products, determining potential patent infringement, or improving competitive positioning of existing or new product(s).

One of the dispersive components of an optical instrument is a 0.750-meter focal length monochromator equipped with the same gra
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:  (a) 1.11 nm/mm

Explanation:

Monochromator is a device which is used to transmits a delectable band of wavelengths of light wavelengths available at the input.

Assuming focal length monochromator  equipped with a                                    1200-groove/mm grating

The formula for the first-order reciprocal linear dispersion is

D^{-1}  = d/n*F where F is the focal length and n belongs to order of the first spectra.

D^{-1} = \frac{(1/1200) mm * 10^6 (nm/mm)/}{1 * 0.75 m * (103 mm/m) } = 1.11 nm/mm

Make sure you have used the conversion factors correctly as it will have a major impact on the calculation of the answer.
