The force needed to keep the space shuttle moving at constant speed is 0.

The given parameters;

  • <em>weight of the space shuttle, F = 750,000 N</em>
  • <em>constant speed of the space shuttle, v = 28,000 km/h</em>

The mass of the space shuttle is calculated as follows;

W = mg\\\\m = \frac{W}{g} \\\\m = \frac{750,000}{9.8} \\\\m = 76,530.61 \ kg

The force needed to keep the space shuttle moving at constant speed is calculated as follows;

F = ma

F = 76,530.61 \times a

where;

a is the acceleration of the space shuttle

At a constant speed, acceleration is zero.

F = 76,530.61 x 0

F = 0

Thus, the force needed to keep the space shuttle moving at constant speed is 0.

What will change the velocity of a periodic wave?
Georgia [21]
If it's a mechanical wave, then its speed depends on the physical characteristics of the medium.

If it's an electromagnetic wave, then its speed depends on the
electrical characteristics of the medium.

Either way, the properties of the medium determine the wave speed.
You want to change the speed ?  You have to change the properties
of the medium.

A rope of negligible mass passes over a uniform cylindrical pulley of 1.50kg massand 0.090m radius. The bearings of the pulley h
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of pulley, m3 = 1.5 kg

Radius of pulley, R = 0.09 m

mass of monkey, m2 = 4.5 kg

mass of banana bunch, m1 = 3 kg

Let a is teh acceleration ans T1 and T2 be the tension in the rope.

The moment of inertia of the pulley

I = 0.5 x m3 x R² = 0.5 x 1.5 x 0.09 x 0.09 = 0.006075 kgm²

According to Newton's second law

T1 - m1 g = m1 x a .... (1)

m2 g - T2 = m2 x a ..... (2)

(T2 - T1 ) x R = I x α    

where, α is the angular acceleration

α = a / R

(T2 - T1)R = 0.5 x m3 x R² x a / R

T2 - T1 = 0.5 x m3 x a ..... (3)  

from (1), (2) and (3)

a = \frac{m_{2}-m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}+\frac{m_{3}}{2}}\times g

a = \frac{4.5-3}{3+4.5+0.75}\times 9.8

a = 1.78 m/s²

from equation (1)

T1 = m1 ( g + a) = 3 ( 9.8 + 1.78) = 34.77 N

from equation (2)

T2 = m2 (g - a) = 4.5 (9.8 - 1.78) = 36.13 N

Why does the sky change colors at sunset?
KiRa [710]

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. ... Refraction not only affects visible light rays, but all electromagnetic radiation, although in varying degrees.

So in short, the answer is D.
