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.

Most of the really bright stars in our sky are NOT among the stars that are very close to us. Why then do they look so bright to

Yanka [14]

Answer:

stars will emit more light due to their Luminosity, so they look very bright.

Explanation:

Luminous refers to..,

The total amount of energy radiated by a star or other celestial object per second.
Therefore it is the power output of a star.

Most of the really bright stars in our sky are not that very close to us yet they look bright because of the Luminosity of the star.

These stars are intrinsically so luminous.

A star's power output across all wavelengths is called its bolometric luminosity.

A star with large luminosity will have more measure of radiated electromagnetic power meaning.

so it will emit more light than a low luminosity star.

Hence,

those stars can easily be seen even across great distance.

A spring with constant k = 78 N/m is at the base of a frictionless, 30.0°-inclined plane. A 0.50-kg block is pressed against the

olasank [31]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Spring constant (k) = 78 N/m, $\theta = 30^{o}$

Mass of block (m) = 0.50 kg

According to the formula of energy conservation,

mgh sin $\theta = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}$

h = $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{kx^{2}}{mg Sin \theta}$

= $\frac{78 \times 0.04}{2 \times 0.5 \times 9.8 \times 0.5}$

= 0.64 m

Thus, we can conclude that the distance traveled by the block is 0.64 m.

5. A construction worker on a high-rise building is on a platform suspended between two cables as illustrated below. The constru

Natalka [10]

Answer:

a) Tc = 750 [N] ;b) See the explanation below.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need a graphical explanation of this, as well as knowing the corresponding questions. Therefore, a search was carried out in google, in the attached image we will find a graphical description of the problem.

The solution of this type of problem corresponds to the use of Newton's third law, applying static which tells us that the sum of the forces in a system in equilibrium without movement must be equal to zero.

In this way we can find by means of a sum of forces on the y axis equal to zero:

- 850 - 450 + 550 + Tc = 0

Tc = 750 [N]
