Answer:

Only Cory is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational pull of the Earth on a person or object is given by Newton's law of gravitation as follows;

F =G\times \dfrac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}

Where;

G = The universal gravitational constant

M = The mass of one object

m = The mass of the other object

r = The distance between the centers of the two objects

For the gravitational pull of the Earth on a person, when the person is standing on the Earth's surface, r = R = The radius of the Earth ≈ 6,371 km

Therefore, for an astronaut in the international Space Station, r = 6,800 km

The ratio of the gravitational pull on the surface of the Earth, F₁, and the gravitational pull on an astronaut at the international space station, F₂, is therefore given as follows;

\dfrac{F_1}{F_2} = \dfrac{ \dfrac{M \cdot m}{R^{2}}}{\dfrac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}} = \dfrac{r^2}{R^2}  = \dfrac{(6,800 \ km)^2}{(6,371 \ km)^2} \approx  1.14

∴ F₁ ≈ 1.14 × F₂

F₂ ≈ 0.8778 × F₁

Therefore, the gravitational pull on the astronaut by virtue of the distance from the center of the Earth, F₂ is approximately 88% of the gravitational pull on a person of similar mass on Earth

However, the International Space Station is moving in its orbit around the Earth at an orbiting speed enough to prevent the Space Station from falling to the Earth such that the Space Station falls around the Earth because of the curved shape of the gravitational attraction, such that the astronaut are constantly falling (similar to falling from height) and appear not to experience gravity

Therefore, Cory is correct, the astronauts in the International Space Station, 6,800 km from the Earth's center, are not too far to experience gravity.

Suppose thatAnn selects a ball by first picking one of two boxes at random and then selecting a ball from this box. The first bo
Natalka [10]

Answer:

35/68

Step-by-step explanation:

The first box contains 3 orange balls and 4 black balls.

The second box contains 5 orange balls and 6 black balls

Total number of boxes = 2

Let Pr(F) be the probability that the first box is picked.

Let Pr(S) be the probability that the second ball is picked

Let O be the orange ball selected

Pr(F) = 1/2

Pr(S) = 1/2

Pr(O|S) = n(O) / n(S)

= 5/ 6+5

5/11

Pr(O|F) = n(O) / n(F)

= 3/ 4+3

= 3/7

Pr(S|O) = [Pr( O|S).P(S)] / [Pr( O|S).P(S) + Pr( O|F).P(F)]

= (5/11*1/2) / (5/11*1/2) +(3/7*1/2(

= (5/22) / (5/22 + 3/14)

= (5/22) / (136/308)

= 35/68

mrs. Cleaver mix is 1.24 liters of red paint with three times as much blue paint to make purple paint. She put the paint equally
Jet001 [13]
When it says in each cup, I'mg guessing it means containers... so I'll go with that! If you need 3 times as much blue for red to make purple then:

1.24 liters × 3 = 3.72 liters of blue paint per container.

If I am wrong, please go from there with the blue per container. I hope this helped!

the temperature was 15 .it dropped so that the temperature was 0 . what integer represents the change in temperature?
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

if the temperature was at 15 and dropped to zero the amount it changed would be is -15. The integer is -15 because an integer is a whole number and it can also be a negative or positive number it just can not be a fraction
