Answer:

  4b: 8.6 m/s²; 1.3×10^5 N; 2.1×10^4 N decrease

  5c: -1.6×10^12 J; -1.6×10^12 J

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>4b</h3>

i) The acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. The distance to the shuttle is ...

  1 + (5×10^5)/(6.4×10^5) = 69/64 . . . times the radius of the earth

Then the acceleration due to gravity at the height of the space shuttle is about ...

  (10 m/s²)(64/69)² ≈ 8.6 m/s²

__

ii) The weight of the space shuttle at that height is about ...

  F = ma = (15000 kg)(8.6 m/s²) ≈ 1.3×10^5 N

__

iii) The loss of weight will be ...

  ΔF = m(a1 -a0) = (15000 kg)(10 m/s² -8.6 m/s²)

  = 1.5×10^4×1.4 N = 2.1×10^4 N

____

<h3>5c</h3>

i) The gravitational potential energy is given by ...

  U = -GMm/r

where M and m are the mass of the earth and the rocket, respectively.

  U = -(6.67×10^-11)(6.0×10^24)(2.5×10^4)/(6.4×10^6) ≈ -1.6×10^12 J

__

ii) At a height of 3×10^4 m, the denominator in the above expression changes from 6.4×10^6 to 6.43×10^6. This changes the gravitational potential energy by a factor of 6.4/6.43 to -1.6×10^12 J

(Note: we're carrying only 2 significant figures in the result in accordance with the rules for precision in such calculations. The change is noticeable at the level of the 4th significant figure, less than 1/2%.)

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

first things first, you need to find out how much juice you have: 30 + 20 + 50 = 100, so 100 ml of juice. all together, the juice is 100%, or 1. separated, the amounts are 30%, 20%, and 50%, therefore the amount of coconut milk in the cocktail you have is 50%, or 1/2.

Write an equation that you can use to find the value of x.
MariettaO [177]
Line CA is a straight line, meaning it adds up to 180°

Line BE splits the line into two supplementary angles, because when the two angles are added together they will equal 180°

Using the rule of supplementary angles, we can then make the equation 3x + 8x + 15 = 180

Now, simplify the equation by combining like terms

11x + 15 = 180

To solve, isolate x

11x + 15 = 180
11x = 165
x = 15

A blue die and a red die are thrown. B is the event that the blue comes up with a 6. E is the event that both dice come up even.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Size of |E n B| = 2

Size of |B| = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>I'll assume both die are 6 sides</em>

Given

Blue die and Red Die

Required

Sizes of sets

- |E\ n\ B|

- |B|

The question stated the following;

B = Event that blue die comes up with 6

E = Event that both dice come even

So first; we'll list out the sample space of both events

B = \{6\}

E = \{2,4,6\}

Calculating the size of |E n B|

|E n B| = \{2,4,6\}\ n\ \{6\}

|E n B| = \{2,4,6\}

<em>The size = 3 because it contains 3 possible outcomes</em>

Calculating the size of |B|

B = \{6\}

<em>The size = 1 because it contains 1 possible outcome</em>

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

B) 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 8x + 7 = 0

(x - 1)(x - 7) = 0

x= 1, 7.
