The starship Enterprise approaches the planet Risa at a speed of 0.8c relative to the planet. On the way, it overtakes the inter

galactic freighter Astra. The relative speed of the two ships as measured by the navigator on the Enterprise is 0.5c. At what speed is Astra approaching the planet?

Answer:

<em>0.3c</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The speed of Enterprise relative to Risa is 0.8c

Relative speed of both ships as measured from Enterprise is 0.5c

therefore, relative speed of Astra to Enterprise is 0.8c - 0.5c = <em>0.3c</em>

<em>this is also the relative speed with which Astra approaches the planet Risa since Enterprise's speed was calculated relative to Risa.</em>

If a scale on Earth reads 650 N, what is your mass?
OlgaM077 [116]
If the scale reads 650N, then the mass of whoever it is standing on the scale is

         (weight) / (gravity)  =  (650N) / (9.8 m/s²)  =  66.3 kilograms  .

It's not MY mass, even if I'm the one standing on the scale. 
If I stand on a scale and it reads 650 N, the scale is broken.

suppose that 273 g of one of the substances listed above displaces 26 mL of water. What is the substance?
guajiro [1.7K]
<span>The unknown substance is silver. I don't see a list of available substances, but let's see if there's something reasonable available that will match. First, let's calculate the density of the unknown substance. Density is mass per volume, so 273 g / 26 mL = 10.5 g/mL Looking up a list of elements sorted by density, I see the following: 10.07 Actinium 10.22 Molybdenum 10.5 Silver 11.35 Lead And silver at 10.5 g/ml is a very nice match for the unknown substances' density of 10.5 g/ml.</span>

The speed at which the objects were attracted to each other determined by the gravitational pull.

<h3>What is gravity?</h3>

The force of attraction felt by a person at the center of a planet or Earth is called as the gravity or gravitational pull.

The gravitational force, Fg is the attractive force exerted by the Earth on the object that is equal to the mass of the object times the gravitational acceleration.

When the two objects are attracted, the speed with which they are moving toward each other depends on the strength of the pull force. This pull force is the gravitational pull.

Thus, the speed at which the objects were attracted to each other determined by the gravitational pull.
