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

According to the concept of length contraction, what happens to the length of an object as it approaches the speed of light and
lord [1]
When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.

A car with a mass of 1,500 kg requires a centripetal force of 640 N to safely follow a circular curve in the road at 13.4 m/s. W
Tamiku [17]
<h2>Answer</h2>

Radius is 421 m.

<u>Explanation </u>

A car with a mass of 1,500 kg requires a centripetal force of 640 N to safely follow a circular curve in the road at 13.4 m/s. Therefore, for radius we use formula which is Fc = mv ^ 2 / r,

As mass = m = 1500kg,

Centripetal force = Fc = 640N,

Velocity = v = 13.4 m / s

By putting values, Fc = mv ^ 2 / r,

r = mv ^ 2 / Fc,

=> r = ( 1500kg ) . ( 13.4 m / s) ^ 2 / 640,

=> r = ( 1500kg ) . ( 179.56 ) / 640,

r = 269340 / 640,

=> r = 420.84 m.

Radius is 421 m.
