Answer:
26 lbf
Explanation:
The mass of the satellite is the same regardless of where it is.
The weight however, depends on the acceleration of gravity.
The universal gravitation equation:
g = G * M / d^2
Where
G: universal gravitation constant (6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s))
M: mass of the body causing the gravitational field (mass of Earth = 6*10^24 kg)
d: distance to that body
15000 miles = 24140 km
The distance is to the center of Earth.
Earth radius = 6371 km
Then:
d = 24140 + 6371 = 30511 km
g = 6.67*10^-11 * 6*10^24 / 30511000^2 = 0.43 m/s^2
Then we calculate the weight:
w = m * a
w = 270 * 0.43 = 116 N
116 N is 26 lbf
Answer:

Explanation:
Given that
R=8 ft
Width= 10 ft
We know that hydro statics force given as
F=ρ g A X
ρ is the density of fluid
A projected area on vertical plane
X is distance of center mass of projected plane from free surface of water.
Here
X=8/2 ⇒X=4 ft
A=8 x 10=80 
So now putting the values
F=ρ g A X
F=62.4(32.14)(80)(4)

The thickness of aluminium needed to stop the beam electrons, protons and alpha particles at the given dfferent kinetic energies is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.
<h3>
Thickness of the aluminum</h3>
The thickness of the aluminum can be determined using from distance of closest approach of the particle.

where;
- Z is the atomic number of aluminium = 13
- e is charge
- r is distance of closest approach = thickness of aluminium
- k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²
<h3>For 2.5 MeV electrons</h3>

<h3>For 2.5 MeV protons</h3>
Since the magnitude of charge of electron and proton is the same, at equal kinetic energy, the thickness will be same. r = 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.
<h3>For 10 MeV alpha-particles</h3>
Charge of alpah particle = 2e

Thus, the thickness of aluminium needed to stop the beam electrons, protons and alpha particles at the given dfferent kinetic energies is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

Answer:
Explanation:
The detailed steps and appropriate calculation with analysis is as shown in the attachment.
Answer:
d. 2.3 ohms (5.3 amperes)
Explanation:
The calculator's 1/x key makes it convenient to calculate parallel resistance.
Req = 1/(1/4 +1/8 +1/16) = 1/(7/16) = 16/7 ≈ 2.3 ohms
This corresponds to answer choice D.

<em>Additional comment</em>
This problem statement does not tell the applied voltage. The answer choices suggest that it is 12 V. If so, the current is 12/(16/7) = 21/4 = 5.25 amperes.
