Answer:

(a) g = 8.82158145m/s^2.

(b) 7699.990192m/s.

(c)5484.3301s = 1.5234 hours.(extremely fast).

Explanation:

(a) Strength of gravitational field 'g' by definition is

g = \frac{M_{(earth)} }{r^2} G , here G is Gravitational Constant, and r is distance from center of earth, all the values will remain same except r which will be radius of earth + altitude at which ISS is in orbit.

r = 6721,000 meters, putting this value in above equation gives g = 8.82158145m/s^2.

(b) We have to essentially calculate centripetal acceleration that equals new 'g'.

a_{centripetal}=\frac{V^2}{r} =g here g is known, r is known and v is unknown.

plugging in r and g in above and solving for unknown gives V = 7699.990192m/s.

(c)  S = vT,  here T is time period or time required to complete one full revolution.

S =  earth's circumfrence , V is calculated in (B) T is unknown.

solving for unknown gives T = 5484.3301s = 1.5234hours.

Please help.. I'm desperate.

Answer:

Newton's Second Law tells us that the more mass an object has, the more force is needed to move it. A larger rocket will need stronger forces (eg. more fuel) to make it accelerate. The space shuttles required seven pounds of fuel for every pound of payload they carry.

A bald eagle is flying to the left with a speed of 34 meters
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

the speed after 3 seconds is 10 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the speed is shown below:

As we know that

V = U  + at

Here,

U = 34 m/s

a =  - 8 m/s²

t = 3 Sec

V = velocity after 3 sec

V  = 34 + (-8)3

 = 34 - 24

 V = 10 m/s

Hence, the speed after 3 seconds is 10 m/s

A disk of radius 25 cm spinning at a rate of 30 rpm slows to a stop over 3 seconds. What is the angular acceleration? B. How man
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:  

A. α = - 1.047 rad/s²  

B. θ = 14.1 rad  

C. θ = 2.24 rev  

Explanation:  

A.  

We can use the first equation of motion to find the acceleration:

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t  

where,  

ωf = final angular speed = 0 rad/s  

ωi = initial angular speed = (30 rpm)(2π rad/1 rev)(1 min/60 s) = 3.14 rad/s  

t = time = 3 s  

α = angular acceleration = ?  

Therefore,

0\ rad/s = 3.14\ rad/s + \alpha(3\ s)  

<u>α = - 1.047 rad/s²</u>

B.  

We can use the second equation of motion to find the angular distance:

\theta = \omega_it +\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\theta = (3.14\ rad/s)(3\ s) + \frac{1}{2}(1.04\ rad/s^2)(3)^2  

<u>θ = 14.1 rad</u>

C.  

θ = (14.1 rad)(1 rev/2π rad)  

<u>θ = 2.24 rev</u>
