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

The LCA process is a systematic, phased approach and consists of four components: goal definition and scoping, inventory analysis, impact assessment, and interpretation. The standards are provided by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) in ISO 14040 and 14044, and describe the four main phases of an LCA: Goal and scope definition. Inventory analysis. Impact assessment.

Resolver em c as equações:<br><br> Z elevado à 2 igual a 3+4i
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Quando um (ou todos) os outros coeficientes de uma equação do segundo grau são iguais a zero, essa equação é chamada incompleta. Neste artigo, analisaremos os métodos que podem ser usados para resolver equações incompletas, no caso em que o coeficiente C = 0, ou seja, o coeficiente é nulo.

Explanation:

Um lado da equação será a potência e outro, o número inteiro. De outro modo, transforme a equação deixando-a isolada em um dos lados. Reescreva a equação. Prepare-a a fim de extrair o logaritmo de ambos os lados, que é o inverso da potência. Você pode calcular o logaritmo de base.
