Answer:

D. Upward force on the shuttle

Explanation:

The hot gas from space shuttles released downward causes an upward force on the shuttle and propels it up the more.

This hot gas is produced from super cooled oxygen and hydrogen tanks within the shuttle.
The upward force on the shuttle allows the craft to escape the gravitational pull of the earth on the shuttle
Special level of rapid acceleration must be attained for the shuttle to escape the earth pull.

Find the unit vector in the direction of vector B=4i+2j-5k

solmaris [256]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{\sqrt{45} } i\,+\frac{2}{\sqrt{45} } j-\frac{5}{\sqrt{45} } k$

Explanation:

for the unit vector, we need to divide the given vector by its norm, because it should be in the SAME direction as the original vector, but of magnitude "1".

We notice that the norm of the given vector is:

$\sqrt{4^2+2^2+(-5)^2} =\sqrt{45}$

Then, the unit vector becomes:

$\frac{4}{\sqrt{45} } i\,+\frac{2}{\sqrt{45} } j-\frac{5}{\sqrt{45} } k$
