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.

Tisha and Dana were both fishing for salmon, and by coincidence, caught the same number of fish this week. Tisha caught salmon i
solong [7]

Answer:

The minimum number of fish each must have caught is 90 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of fishes Tisha's net can hold = 15

The number of fishes Dana's net can hold = 18

Let the total number of fishes both Tisha and Dana caught = X

15 × A = 18 × B = X

Therefore, X is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 15 and 18 given as follows;

15 = 3 × 5

18 = 3 × 6

Therefore, the LCM of 18 and 5 = 3 × 5 × 6 = 90

Which gives, the minimum number of fish each must have caught = 90 fishes.

No links!!! A student population in a school was 972. Next year they are projected to have a 25% increase in student population.
scoray [572]

Answer:

1215

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a 25% or 1/4 increase, this would mean that you divided the total number of students and add the quotient to the main thing.

So: 972 divided by 1/4 = 972/4 = 243.

972 + 243 = 1215.
