Well, one AU is 149,597,870 km. So, we would basically have to divide 4.5 billion km by 149,597,870, right?
4,500,000,000/149,597,870=30.080642 AU.
So, the correct answer would be 30 AU. Hoped this helped!
Other countries have reacted the same way as the United States has.
This question is not complete.
The complete question is as follows:
One problem for humans living in outer space is that they are apparently weightless. One way around this problem is to design a space station that spins about its center at a constant rate. This creates “artificial gravity” at the outside rim of the station. (a) If the diameter of the space station is 800 m, how many revolutions per minute are needed for the “artificial gravity” acceleration to be 9.80m/s2?
Explanation:
a. Using the expression;
T = 2π√R/g
where R = radius of the space = diameter/2
R = 800/2 = 400m
g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2
1/T = number of revolutions per second
T = 2π√R/g
T = 2 x 3.14 x √400/9.8
T = 6.28 x 6.39 = 40.13
1/T = 1/40.13 = 0.025 x 60 = 1.5 revolution/minute
Answer:
The answer is C)The force of gravity from Earth acting on the spacecraft decreased because the distance from Earth increased.
Explanation:
Gravity, a force, is dependent on the mass of the object exerting the gravity and the distance of an outside object from that object. The larger the object, the more gravity it will exert on an outside object. This force decreases as you move away from the object, but it will always still exist and never be equal to 0.
Answer:
Explanation:
The apparent brightness follows an inverse square law, therefore we can write:
where I is the apparent brightness and r is the distance from the Sun.
We can also rewrite the law as
(1)
where in this problem, we have:
apparent brightness at a distance 
, where
million km
We want to estimate the apparent brightness at 
, where is ten times , so
Re-arranging eq.(1), we find 
:
