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%.)

Answer:

  • 3*2=\sf{\pink{\dfrac{4}{5}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u><u> </u><u>that</u><u>,</u><u> </u>

x*y=\dfrac{(2x-y)}{(x+y}

<h3><u>SO</u><u>,</u><u> </u></h3>

3*2=

\dfrac{2(3)-2}{3+2}\\\\\dfrac{6-2}{5}\\\\\dfrac{4}{5}

<u>Therefore</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\therefore  {3*2}=\dfrac{4}{5}

Simon pays $9 for 6 visits to swim at the community pool. He pays $18 for 12 visits to swim. How much does it cost for each visi
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

$1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do cost per quantity you would get $9 over 6 visits. Then you divide both sides by 6 because to get to one by 6 it's 6 so when you divide both sides by 6 you would get 1.5 over 1 and all you do is add a zero because you're dealing with money

Hope this helps :)
