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.

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The rate of change of the distance is 14.89.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 145 miles

Speed of car = 42 miles/hr

Distance covered by car = 55 miles

We need to calculate the the rate of change of the distance

According to figure,

Let OA is x, and AB is y.

Now, using Pythagorean theorem

$x^2=y^2+145^2$

On differentiating

$2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=\dfrac{y}{x}\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=\dfrac{55\times42}{\sqrt{55^2+145^2}}$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=14.89\ miles/hr$

Hence, The rate of change of the distance is 14.89.

Gaining neutrons makes an element?

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

C. Have no change in electrical charge

Explanation:

If a element gains neutron it become an Isotope. The electrical charge do not change for this, only the atomic mass changes when an element gains neutrons.

The electrical charge is affected when there is a variation in the number of electrons or protons in the element.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:106560 N

Explanation:

Given

Let Tension between 2 and 3 car be $T_{23}$ and between 3 &4 is $T_{34}$

$T_{23}-T_{34}=ma$

mass of freight car =37,000 kg

acceleration of car $=0.48 m/s^2$

$T_{34}$ is accelerating all freights behind 3

therefore

$T_{34}=5\times ma$

$T_{34}=5\times 37000\times 0.48=88,800 N$

Thus

$T_{23}=T_{34}+ma$

$T_{23}=88,800+37000\times 0.48=88,800+17,760=106560 N$
