Answer:

1.6675×10^-16N

Explanation:

The force of gravity that the space shuttle experiences is expressed as;

g = GM/r²

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass = 1.0 x 10^5 kg

r is the altitude = 200km = 200,000m

Substitute into the formula

g = 6.67×10^-11 × 1.0×10^5/(2×10^5)²

g = 6.67×10^-6/4×10^10

g = 1.6675×10^{-6-10}

g = 1.6675×10^-16N

Hence the force of gravity experienced by the shuttle is 1.6675×10^-16N

Lina20 [59]
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of the numbers of protons and the numbers of the neutron. Given that the mass number is 65 and the number of neutrons is 35, the number of protons is 30. The atom is then Zinc (Zn). The charge is equal to +2, as it lacks 2 more electrons.

Can you find the magnetic field based on force? a straight segment of wire 35.0 cm long carrying a current of 1.40 a is in a uni
Lostsunrise [7]
The force exerted by a magnetic field on a wire carrying current is:
F=ILB \sin \theta
where I is the current, L the length of the wire, B the magnetic field intensity, and \theta the angle between the wire and the direction of B.

In our problem, the force is F=0.20 N. The current is I=1.40 A, while the length of the wire is L=35.0 cm=0.35 m. The angle between the wire and the magnetic field is 53 ^{\circ}, so we can re-arrange the formula and substitute the numbers to find B:
B= \frac{F}{IL \sin \theta}= \frac{0.20 N}{(1.40 A)(0.35 m)(\sin 53^{\circ})}=0.51 T

Distanţa Buzău - Iaşi este de 72 km . Aflaţi timpul în care un autovehicul parcurge această distanţă, dacă are viteza de 72 km p
GrogVix [38]

The distance from Buzău to Iaşi is 72 km. Find out the time a vehicle travels this distance if it has a speed of 72 km per hour. Expresses the speed in the unit of measurement in SI. I give the crown! Thank you

Answer:

3600seconds

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance  = 72km

Speed  = 72km/hr

Unknown:

Time it takes for the vehicle to travel the distance  = ?

Solution:

Speed is the distance divided by time;

               Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

             time  =\frac{distance}{speed }  

 Insert the parameters;

         time  = \frac{72}{72}  = 1hr

The SI unit of time is in seconds;

3600 seconds is 1hr

The time is 3600seconds
