By Newton's second law, the net force on the object is
∑ <em>F</em> = <em>m</em> <em>a</em>
∑ <em>F</em> = (2.00 kg) (8 <em>i</em> + 6 <em>j</em> ) m/s^2 = (16.0 <em>i</em> + 12.0 <em>j</em> ) N
Let <em>f</em> be the unknown force. Then
∑ <em>F</em> = (30.0 <em>i</em> + 16 <em>j</em> ) N + (-12.0 <em>i</em> + 8.0 <em>j</em> ) N + <em>f</em>
=> <em>f</em> = (-2.0 <em>i</em> - 12.0 <em>j</em> ) N
Vocabulary should be, I think:
I. Hypothesis
II. Evidence, data
III. Experiment
What is your question exactly?
Answer:
83%
Explanation:
On the surface, the weight is:
W = GMm / R²
where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the shuttle, and R is the radius of the Earth.
In orbit, the weight is:
w = GMm / (R+h)²
where h is the height of the shuttle above the surface of the Earth.
The ratio is:
w/W = R² / (R+h)²
w/W = (R / (R+h))²
Given that R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:
w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²
w/W = 0.83
The shuttle in orbit retains 83% of its weight on Earth.
