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

Which of the following models shows how unpredictable electrons are?
Fantom [35]

D

The exact location of electrons in electron shells of atoms cannot be exactly ascertained. This is why VSPER atomic models represent the position of electrons (s, p, d, & f) using the probability of where they would most be expected to be found.

Explanation:

This is because merely observing electrons changes their behavior. Remember that to observe something one has to shine light on it so it bounces back to the eye. Due to the negligible mass of electrons, mere photons of light will change their direction of movement, spin or other behaviors/properties.

a plane travels 204 km, northeast in 15.0 minutes. It also increases elevation by 1.6 km, upward in the same amount of time. Wha
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

230 m/s northeast, 1.8 m/s up

Explanation:

204 kilometres = 204000 metres

15.0 minutes = 900 seconds

Velocity = Distance / Time

= 204000 / 900

= 230 m/s northeast (to 2 sf.)

1.6km = 1600 metres

Velocity = 1600 / 900

= 1.8 m/s up (to 2 sf.)

An exoplanet with one half of Earth's mass and 50% of Earth's radius is discovered.
Georgia [21]

Answer:

The space cadet that weighs 800 N on Earth will weigh 1,600 N on the exoplanet

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the exoplanet = 1/2×The mass of the Earth, M = 1/2 × M

The radius of the exoplanet = 50% of the radius of the Earth = 1/2 × The Earth's radius, R = 50/100 × R = 1/2 × R

The weight of the cadet on Earth = 800 N

The \ weight, W  =G\dfrac{M \times m}{R^{2}} = 800 \ N

Therefore, for the weight of the cadet on the exoplanet, W₁, we have;

W_1   =G\dfrac{\dfrac{M}{2}  \times m}{ \left ( \dfrac{R}{2} \right ) ^{2}} = G\dfrac{\dfrac{M}{2}  \times m \times 4}{ R ^{2}} = 2 \times G \times  \dfrac{M \times m}{R^{2}} = 2 \times 800 \, N = 1,600 \, N

The weight of a space cadet on the exoplanet, that weighs 800 N on Earth = 1,600 N.
