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

Erica throws a tennis ball against a wall, and it bounces back. Which force is responsible for sending the ball back to Erica?
Anna71 [15]

OPTIONS :

A.) the force that the ball exerts on the wall

B.) the frictional force between the wall and the ball

C.) the acceleration of the ball as it approaches the wall

D.) the normal force that the wall exerts on the ball

Answer: D.) the normal force that the wall exerts on the ball

Explanation: The normal force acting on an object can be explained as a force experienced by an object when it comes in contact with a flat surface. The normal force acts perpendicular to the surface of contact.

In the scenario described above, Erica's tennis ball experiences an opposite reaction after hitting the wall.This is in relation to Newton's 3rd law of motion, which states that, For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The reaction force in this case is the normal force exerted on the ball by the wall perpendicular to the surface of contact.

What is the difference between an elastic and inelastic collision
barxatty [35]

Answer:

In an elastic collision, the total kinetic energy is conserved, while in an inelastic collision, it is not

Explanation:

Let's define the two types of collision:

- Elastic collision: an elastic collision is a collision in which:

1) the total momentum of the system is conserved

2) the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved

Typically, elastic collisions occur when there are no frictional forces acting on the objects in the system, so that no kinetic energy is lost into thermal energy. An example of elastic collision is the collision between biliard balls.

- Inelastic collision: an inelastic collision is a collision in which:

1 ) the total momentum of the system is conserved

2) the total kinetic energy of the system is NOT conserved

In an elastic collision, part of the total kinetic energy is lost (=converted into thermal energy) due to the presence of frictional forces. An example of inelastic collision is the accident between two cars, in which part of the energy is converted into heat.

Explain why a ball thrown in space could keep moving forever, while a ball thrown here on Earth will come to a stop.
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

In space there is no air resistance. on earth there is

in space there is no opposite forces acting on stopping the ball, so if you throw it it will go on forever.

on earth there is air resistance and gravity, this will pull the ball towards the ground and slow it down.

The heat flux that is applied to the left face of a plane wall is q" = 20 w/m2. the wall is of thickness l = 10 mm and of therma
inessss [21]
Of course steady state condition occurs in almost any system but time it will occurs varies among system. for this kind of system, conduction, steady state conduction occurs when the temperature change from one point to the point is already constant. steady state is not achieved immediately because the heat travels and material will not be heated at the same way at the starting point.
