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

A 100 kg marble slab falls off a skyscraper and falls 200 m to the ground without hitting anyone. Its fall stops within millisec
Radda [10]

Answer:

Δ T = 2.28°C

Explanation:

given,

mass of marble = 100 Kg

height of fall = 200 m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

C_marble = 860 J/(kg °C)

using conservation of energy

Potential energy = heat energy

  m g h = m C_{marble}\Delta T

  g h =C_{marble}\Delta T

  \Delta T= \dfrac{g h}{C_{marble}}

  \Delta T= \dfrac{9.8 \times 200}{860}

        Δ T = 2.28°C

A stone is thrown vertically upward at a speed of 41.50 m/s at time t=0. A second stone is thrown upward with the same speed 3.0
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

t1 = t2 + 3.02         V = 41.5

V t1 - 1/2 g t1^2 = V t2 - 1/2 g t2^2

Both stones reach the same height after the specified times

V (t1 - t2) = g/2 (t1^2 - t2^2) = g/2 (t1 - t2) (t1 + t2)

2 V / g = t1 + t2 = 2t1 + 3.02

t1 = V / g - 1.51 = 41.5 / 9.8 -1.51 = 2.72 s

t2 = t1 + 3.02 = 5.74 sec

Check:

41.5 * 2.72 - 4.9 * 2.72^2 = 76.6 m

41.5 * 5.74 - 4.9 * 5.74^2 = 76.8 m

Speed of second stone = 41.5 - 9.8 * 2.72 = 14.8 m/s
