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

If Earth's obliquity was 157 degrees, would the seasons be more severe, less severe, or about the same?
ikadub [295]
The severity of the seasons on Earth is given not by the distance Earth-Sun but by the tilt of the Earth axis. This happens because that the sun rays are oblique in winter and perpendicular in summer (thus the same quantity of sun rays heats a bigger surface in winter - oblique rays). 
The present tild of the Earth axis is  23.5 degrees (from the vertical). If the axis were tilt at 157 degree this would be equivalent  to 180-157 =23 degree. Thus the severity of the seasons would be approximately the same but the seasons would be reversed (for example instead of winter we would have summer, instead of summer we would have winter).

If force remains constant and acceleration decreases what must happen to the mass
blondinia [14]

That can only be happening if the mass mysteriously increased somehow.  I'd like to know how in the world THAT happened.

If it takes 50.0 seconds to lift 10.0 Newtons of books to a height of 7.0
Ilya [14]
Work of the force = 10 N

Time required for the work = 50 sec

Height = 7 m

We are given with the value of work and time in the question.

Substitute the values in the formula of power and then you'll get the power required.

We know that,

w = Work

p = Power

t = Time

By the formula,

Given that,
Work (w) = 7 m = 70 Joules
Time (t) = 50 sec
Substituting their values,

p = 70/50

p = 1.4 watts

Therefore, the power required is 1.4 watts.

Hope it helps!
