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

In which condition is relative velocity known by adding the velocity od the first body and that of the second body ?​
Softa [21]

Answer:

when a two bodies A and B are moving at an angle 180° with each other then the relative velocity is the sum of bodies the velocity .i.e,

when the bodies move the opposite direction

then their relative velocity is the sum of individual velocities.

A person kicks a ball off of a 50m high cliff with a speed of 10 m/s. How long will it take the ball to hit the ground? * 7 poin
Musya8 [376]

Presumably, the ball is kicked parallel to the ground below the cliff, so its altitude <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is

y(t)=50\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12gt^2

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity.

The ball hits the ground when <em>y</em> = 0:

0 = 50\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12gt^2

t^2=\dfrac{100\,\mathrm m}g

t=\dfrac{10}{9.80}\,\mathrm s\approx\boxed{3.2\,\mathrm s}

g An arrow is shot straight up in the air at an initial speed of 15.5 m/s. After how much time is the arrow moving downward at a
Sati [7]

Answer:

2.11 seconds

Explanation:

We use the kinematic equation for the velocity in a constantly accelerated motion under the acceleration of gravity (g):

v_f=v_i-g*t\\-5.2 = 15.5 - 9.8\,t\\9.8 \,t= 15.5 + 5.2\\t = 20.7/9.8\\t = 2.11 \,\,sec

A 0.45 Caliber bullet (m = 0.162 kg) leaving the muzzle of a gun at 860
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:139.32kgm/s

Explanation:

Mass(m)=0.162kg

Velocity(v)=860m/s

Momentum=mass x velocity

Momentum=0.162 x 860

Momentum=139.32kgm/s
