Explanation:
It is given that, the Average Speed of the orbiting space shuttle is 17500 miles/hour.
We need to convert the speed in kilometers/ second
We know that,
1 mile = 1.609 km
or
1 km = 0.621 miles
1 hour = 3600 seconds
Now cancel the miles in numerator.
So, 17500 miles/hour is equal to 7.82 km/s.
Answer:
Yes, but it must be kept at that value and do not let it to decrease more.
Explanation:
Hello.
In this case, in order to substantiate whether the cabin meet the federal standards, we need to convert the 500 mmHg to atm and compare the result with 0.72 atm by knowing that 1 atm equals 760 mmHg:
Thus, since 0.66 atm is 0.06 atm away from the federal standard we can infer that it may meet the federal standard, however, it would not be recommended to let the pressure decrease more than that.
