Mathematics
1 answer:
Solnce55 [7]3 years ago

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.

Wee-Mobile is offering a cell phone family plan for its users. The breakdown of the cost of the plan per month is given below.
Stells [14]

The total cost for a 6-month plan for n lines is represented by the equation:

Cost = 660n + 100

This equation is in the slope intercept form. The coefficient of n represents the slope here.

In the given scenario the slope can be interpreted as the total variable cost for one line for a period of 6 months.

The variable costs are associated with a line are:

1) Unlimited data cost ($40 per month). So for 6 months this cost will be $240

2) Unlimited Call cost ($10 per month). So for 6 months this cost will be $60

3) Unlimited Text Message Cost ($10 per month). For 6 months this cost will be $60.

4) Cost of Phone ($300 per line)

Adding these costs up we get: 240 + 60 + 60 + 300 = $660

Thus, 660 represents the total cost per line for unlimited data, calls, text message and one phone for 6 months. Therefore, option A gives the correct answer.

At a local grocery store, bananas were on sale. Green bananas were priced at $14.00 and yellow bananas were priced at $12.00. Sa
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Sabrina bought 6 yellow bananas and 3 green bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Green bananas = x

Yellow bananas = y

Green bananas = $14.00

Yellow bananas = $12.00

Total cost = $114.00

x + y = 9 (1)

14x + 12y = 114 (2)

From (1)

x = 9 - y

Substitute x = 9 - y into (2)

14(9 - y) + 12y = 114

126 - 14y + 12y = 114

- 14y + 12y = 114 - 126

-2y = -12

Divide both sides by -2

y = -12 / -2

= 6

y = 6

Substitute y = 6 into (1)

x + y = 9

x + 6 = 9

x = 9 - 6

= 3

x = 3

What is the total after a 10% discount of 346.10
AVprozaik [17]
It is 311.49. You would multiply 0.10 and 349.10, which is 34.61. Then subtract 34.61 from 349.10, which is 311.49. So, after a 10% discount of 346.10, the answer would be 311.49

The parallelogram shown below has an area of 54 units squared
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

the height is 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The area of the parallelogram is 54 units squared

The base is 9 units

We need to find out the height

As we know that

The area of the parallelogram = Base × height

54 =  9 × height

So, the height is

= 54 ÷ 9

= 6 units

Hence, the height is 6 units
