The space shuttle is located exactly half way between the earth and the moon. Which statement is true regarding the gravitationa

l pull on the shuttle? A) The moon pulls more on the shuttle. B) The earth pulls more on the shuttle. C) Both are equal due to equal distances. D) Both are equal due to the mass of the shuttle.

B

The earth is larger (approximately 6 times larger) than the moon hence it will have a stronger gravitational pull on the shuttle than the moon has on the shuttle. Because the shuttle is halfway between the moon and earth, the influence of distance in the gravity formula between the two is negated.

Explanation:

Gravitation force depends on distance and mass of objects in the universe. The bigger the mass of an object the higher its gravitational pull while the shorter the distance between the objects the higher the gravitaiton pull between the two. This phenomenon is described by the formulae below;

F = G (M1 – M2) / r2

Where;

F = gravitational force

G = Gravitational constant

M1 = mass of the first object

M2 = mas of the second object

R = distance between the two objects

B. The mass of the earth is much greater than that of the moon, and therefore since it is the same distance between the moon and the earth the gravitational pull from the earth is stronger than that of the moon.

sammy [17]

Answer:

Because it can easily resist air resistance.

Explanation:

Since air resistance is not negligible, the crumpled paper will reach the ground first because it can easily resist air resistance surrounding it compare to the un-crumpled one that will be influenced by the air thereby causing the un-crumpled paper to spend more time in the air

How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision?
ELEN [110]

A person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision will be thrown forward because it maintains forward motion

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

In Newton's law, it is stated that if the resultant force acting on an object of magnitude is zero,  it can be formulated :

\large{\boxed{\bold{\Sigma F = 0}}}

then the object tends to defend itself from its state. So for objects in a state of movement, objects tend to move forever. Likewise, for objects in a state of rest, they tend to remain forever. The tendency of objects like this is called<em> inertia </em>

The size of inertia is proportional to mass, the greater the mass of the object, the greater the inertia of the object.

In objects with mass m that move translatively, the object will maintain its linear velocity

When we are in a vehicle that moves forward, then we will still maintain a state of forwarding motion. If our vehicle stops suddenly, then we keep moving forward so we will be pushed forward. From this point, the use of a safety belt serves to hold back our movements so that there are no fatal accidents or collisions.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

p= 1.50289×10⁷ N/m²

Explanation:

Given

HA = (564 m)................(River Elevation)

HB = (2096 m).............(Village Elevation)

Area = A =(π/4){Diameter}² = (π/4){0.15 m}² = 0.017671 m²

ρ = (1 gram/cm³) = (1000 kg/m³)........(Water Density)

p(pressure)=?

Solution

p=PA - PB

p= ρ*g*HB - ρ*g*HA

p= (ρ*g)*(HB - HA)

p= (1000×9.81 )×{2096  - 564}  

p= 1.50289×10⁷ N/m²
