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

Sally finds herself stranded on a frozen pond so slippery that she can't stand up or walk on it. To save herself, she throws one
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a) 2.5 m/s. (In the opposite direction to the direction in which she threw the boot).

b) The centre of mass is still at the starting point for both bodies.

c) It'll take Sally 12 s to reach the shore which is 30 m from her starting point.

Explanation:

Linear momentum is conserved.

(mass of boot) × (velocity of boot) + (mass of sally) × (velocity of Sally) = 0

5×30 + 60 × v = 0

v = (-150/60) = -2.5 m/s. (Minus inicates that motion is in the opposite direction to the direction in which she threw the boot).

b) At time t = 10 s,

Sally has travelled 25 m and the boot has travelled 300 m.

Taking the starting point for both bodies as the origin, and Sally's direction as the positive direction.

Centre of mass = [(60)(25) + (5)(-300)]/(60+5)

= 0 m.

The centre of mass is still at the starting point for both bodies.

c) The shore is 30 m away.

Speed = (Distance)/(time)

Time = (Distance)/(speed) = (30/2.5)

Time = 12 s

Hope this Helps!!!

The energy stored in oil come from the sun. Describe how energy from the sun became stored in oil
nirvana33 [79]

Crude oil has parts of decomposed dinosaurs and plants from millions of years ago. When the sun gave energy to the plants for their growth, the dinasours ate them which is now is stored in the oil today. So the sun gave energy to plants, dinosaurs ate them, pasted away and decomposed, then we drill and use it as oil.

A force of 150 N accelerates a 25 kg wooden chair across a wood floor at 4.3 m/s2 . How big is the frictional force on the block
solniwko [45]
We can first calculate the net force using the given information.

By Newton's second law, F(net) = ma:

F(net) = 25 * 4.3 = 107.5

We can now calculate the frictional force, f, which is working against the applied force, F(app) (this is why the net force is a bit lower):

f = F(net) - F(app) = 150 - 107.5 = 42.5 N

Now we can calculate the coefficient of friction, u, using the normal force, F(N):

f = uF(n) --> u = f/F(N)
u = 42.5/[25(9.8)]
u = 0.17
