Answer:

Weight\ loss=1.6321N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Weight W=85.9kg

Altitude h= 6.33 km

Let

Radius of Earth r=6380km

Gravity g=9.8m/s^2

Generally the equation for Gravity at altitude is mathematically given by

 g_s=9.8(\frac{6380}{6380+6.33})^2

 g_s=9.781m/s^2

Therefore

Weight at sea level

 W_s=9.8*85.9

 W_s=841.82N

Weight at 6.33 altitude

 W_a=9.781*85.9

 W_a=840.2N

Therefore

 Weight loss=W_s-W_b

 Weight loss=841.82-840.2

 Weight loss=1.6321N

How do I differentiate between final and initial velocity in Physics?​
pychu [463]

Answer:

Initial velocity describes how fast an object travels when gravity first applies force on the object. On the other hand, the final velocity is a vector quantity that measures the speed and direction of a moving body after it has reached its maximum acceleration.

The centripetal force acting on the space shuttle
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

(4) weight

Explanation:

The centripetal force acting on the space shuttle in orbit is given by:

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

m is the mass of the shuttle

v is the tangential speed of the shuttle

r is the radius of its circular orbit

When the shuttle orbits the Earth, the centripetal force that keeps the shuttle in circular motion is given by the gravitational attraction between the shuttle and the Earth, which corresponds to the weight of the shuttle, and it is given by:

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

And this force, therefore, corresponds to the centripetal force.

A circuit with resistive elements of 220, 100, 57, and 43 produce what total resistance?
Korvikt [17]

The total resistance is 420 ohm.

A circuit with resistive elements of 220, 100, 57, and 43 produce what total resistance  

 R= 220+ 100+ 57+ 43

    = 420 Ω

What is resistance and its types?

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit also known as ohmic resistance or electrical resistance. Ohms are measured as resistance, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω). The ratio of the applied voltage to the current through the material is then known as resistance.

What causes resistance?

An electric current flows when electrons move through a conductor, such as a metal wire. The moving electrons can collide with the ions in the metal. This makes it more difficult for the current to flow, and causes resistance.

uysha [10]

Answer:

Superconducting materials can transport electrons with no resistance, and hence release no heat, sound, or other energy forms. Superconductivity occurs at a specific material's critical temperature (Tc). As temperature decreases, a superconducting material's resistance gradually decreases until it reaches critical temperature. At this point resistance drops off, often to zero, as shown in the graph at right.
