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.

Dominik [7]

Answer:

B. It has a central nucleus composed of 29 protons and 35 neutrons,

surrounded by an electron cloud containing 29 electrons.

Explanation:

Protons and neutrons are the only subatomic particles with mass, and they are located in the nucleus. If this atom has an atomic number of 29 and is copper, it must have 29 protons (protons define which element is being observed). This means all remaining mass is from neutrons. 64-29 = 35.

Electrons have no mass and orbit the nucleus in the electron cloud. Since this copper atom is neutral (we are not told it has a charge), there must be an equal number of protons and electrons.

A car moves 50km in the first 30 minutes and 50km in the second 30 minutes and continues in this way which motion is this ------
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Uniform rectilinear movement (m. r. u.)

Explanation:

It is a continuous movement without acceleration, that is, it moves at a constant speed. The speed does not change over time, for this reason, there is no change in acceleration.

Vf = final velocity = 50/30 [km/s] = 1.67 [km/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 50/30 [km/s] = 1.67 [km/s]

If you have 100 W expended over 20 s how much energy did it take?
netineya [11]

Power = (work or energy) / (time)

100 W  =  (energy) / (20 sec)

Energy = 2,000 watt-sec

<em>Energy = 2,000 J</em>
