Answer:

The object will float better.

Explanation:

If you have basic knowledge on how it works, this question is relatively easy. Let's start by reviewing something. We already know that this object (let's assume it's a spaceship of sorts) is in orbit, meaning there is already a certain amount of gravity from Earth tugging on it. We also know that space has an effect on how this moves, so the two forces "balance" each other, allowing the object to stay at orbit rather than just drifting off. Now let's see the answers to see which makes more sense.

A. The object will stop moving.

The object can't stop moving. With gravity increasing, it would be impossible for that to happen.

B. The object will fly off into space.

This could only happen if the gravity were to decrease by a decent amount.

C. The object will smash into another object.

There is no other object mentioned in the question.

D. The object will float better.

This seems most likely as gravity would be pulling on the object a bit more, but probably not enough to bring it back to the ground. It might drop a bit lower into the exosphere.

I hope I was right and I hope this helps!

A rocket ship has several engines and thrusters. While the Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) and main engines only work together during

Katarina [22]

A rocket ship is accelerated by the SRB and the main engines for 2.0 minutes and the main engines for 8.5 minutes after the launch. The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is 11 m/s² (D).

A rocket ship has several engines and thrusters. We can divide its initial movement into 2 parts:

From t = 0 min to t = 2.0 min, the SRB and the main engines act together and the speed goes from 0 m/s (rest) to 1341 m/s.
From t = 2.0 min to t = 8.5 min, the main engines alone accelerate the ship form 1341 m/s to 7600 m/s.

We want to know the acceleration in the first part (first 2.0 minutes). We need to consider that:

The speed increases from 0 m/s to 1341 m/s.
The time elpased is 2.0 min.
1 min = 60 s.

The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is:

$a = \frac{\Delta v }{t} ) \frac{(1341m/s-0m/s)}{2.0min} \times \frac{1min}{60s} = 11 m/s^{2}$

Experimenting with free fall, Mariana observes that her baseball takes 1.5 s to travel the last 30m before hitting the ground. F

Art [367]

Answer:

37.8 m

Explanation:

At point 0, the ball is at height y₀.

At point 1, the ball is at height 30 m.

At point 2, the ball is at height 0 m.

Given:

y₁ = 30 m

y₂ = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -10 m/s²

t₂ − t₁ = 1.5 s

Find: y₀

Use constant acceleration equation.

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

Evaluate at point 1.

y₁ = y₀ + v₀ t₁ + ½ at₁²

30 m = y₀ + (0 m/s) t₁ + ½ (-10 m/s²) t₁²

30 = y₀ − 5t₁²

Evaluate at point 2.

y₂ = y₀ + v₀ t₂ + ½ at₂²

0 m = y₀ + (0 m/s) t₂ + ½ (-10 m/s²) t₂²

0 = y₀ − 5t₂²

y₀ = 5t₂²

Substitute:

y₀ = 5 (1.5 + t₁)²

y₀ = 5 (2.25 + 3t₁ + t₁²)

y₀ = 11.25 + 15t₁ + 5t₁²

30 = 11.25 + 15t₁ + 5t₁² − 5t₁²

30 = 11.25 + 15t₁

t₁ = 1.25

30 = y₀ − 5t₁²

30 = y₀ − 5(1.25)²

y₀ ≈ 37.8

An oxygen atom picks up two additional, free-floating electrons. Is the charge of the newly formed oxygen ion positive, negative

MariettaO [177]

Answer: Negative

Explanation:

An oxygen atom has the chemical symbol O. Its atomic number is 8, with an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p4.

Now, due to the incompletely filled p-orbital, oxygen picks up two additional, free-floating electrons (2e-) to complete its outermost shell. And since each electrons received carries a negative charge, oxygen atom becomes a negatively charged divalent ion, O2-

See the equation below

O + 2e- ---> O2-

The angle a vector makes with the x-axis of a coordinate system must be what size in order to make one or more of its components

Ostrovityanka [42]

The 1st quadrant (0-90 degrees) is the only quadrant where none of the components are negative, so that means that any angle larger than 90 degrees will result in one of the components being negative.
