Answer:

(D) The weight of the space station and the gravitational force of the space station on the earth.

Explanation:

In both A and B , both the forces act in the same direction ( downwards ) , so they can not be action- reaction force .

In the option C , weight of a astronaut can only be reaction force of gravitational force exerted on the earth by astronaut. Both astronaut and the earth pull each other with equal and opposite force.  So option D is correct.

Answer:

100 meters, 54.5 East of North or 125.5 North of East.

Explanation:

Try drawing it out to get a better visual. Make sure that when you draw the arrows that you make a scale (for example: 1 cm = 10 meters). After drawing it out, draw a line from the origin/starting point and connect it to the end point from the "75 m west" arrow. Then, measure the line you drew and convert it back into meters. Lastly, measure the angle.

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

The simulation kept track of the variables and automatically recorded data on object displacement, velocity, and momentum. If the trials were run on a real track with real gliders, using stopwatches and meter sticks for measurement, the data compared by the following statements:

1. (There would be variables that would be hard to control, leading to less reliable data.)

3. (Meter sticks may lack precision or may be read incorrectly.)

4. (Real glider data may vary since real collisions may involve loss of energy.)

5. (Human error in recording or plotting the data could be a factor.)

Assume that you stay on the earth's surface. what is the ratio of the sun's gravitational force on you to the earth's gravitatio
Pachacha [2.7K]
First, let's determine the gravitational force of the Earth exerted on you. Suppose your weight is about 60 kg. 

F = Gm₁m₂/d²
where
m₁ = 5.972×10²⁴ kg (mass of earth)
m₂ = 60 kg
d = 6,371,000 m (radius of Earth)
G = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(5.972×10²⁴ kg)/(6,371,000 m )²
F = 589.18 N

Next, we find the gravitational force exerted by the Sun by replacing,
m₁ = 1.989 × 10³⁰<span> kg
Distance between centers of sun and earth = 149.6</span>×10⁹ m
Thus,
d = 149.6×10⁹ m - 6,371,000 m = 1.496×10¹¹ m

Thus,
F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(1.989 × 10³⁰ kg)/(1.496×10¹¹ m)²
F = 0.356  N

Ratio = 0.356  N/589.18 N
<em>Ratio = 6.04</em>
