NEED HELP ASAP!!

Lisa and Cory are having a debate about gravitation. Lisa says that the astronauts in that international Space Station (which is a distance of about 6800 km from Earth’s center) are too far away from Earth to experience Earth’s gravitational pull, and that is why they float. Cory insists that Lisa is incorrect. Which of them is correct in their statement, and why?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Only Cory is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational pull of the Earth on a person or object is given by Newton's law of gravitation as follows;

[tex]F =G\times \dfrac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}[/tex]

Where;

G = The universal gravitational constant

M = The mass of one object

m = The mass of the other object

r = The distance between the centers of the two objects

For the gravitational pull of the Earth on a person, when the person is standing on the Earth's surface, r = R = The radius of the Earth ≈ 6,371 km

Therefore, for an astronaut in the international Space Station, r = 6,800 km

The ratio of the gravitational pull on the surface of the Earth, F₁, and the gravitational pull on an astronaut at the international space station, F₂, is therefore given as follows;

[tex]\dfrac{F_1}{F_2} = \dfrac{ \dfrac{M \cdot m}{R^{2}}}{\dfrac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}} = \dfrac{r^2}{R^2} = \dfrac{(6,800 \ km)^2}{(6,371 \ km)^2} \approx 1.14[/tex]

∴ F₁ ≈ 1.14 × F₂

F₂ ≈ 0.8778 × F₁

Therefore, the gravitational pull on the astronaut by virtue of the distance from the center of the Earth, F₂ is approximately 88% of the gravitational pull on a person of similar mass on Earth

However, the International Space Station is moving in its orbit around the Earth at an orbiting speed enough to prevent the Space Station from falling to the Earth such that the Space Station falls around the Earth because of the curved shape of the gravitational attraction, such that the astronaut are constantly falling (similar to falling from height) and appear not to experience gravity

Therefore, Cory is correct, the astronauts in the International Space Station, 6,800 km from the Earth's center, are not too far to experience gravity.

In ΔSTU, s = 3.8 inches, t = 9.8 inches and u=9.6 inches. Find the measure of ∠U to the nearest 10th of a degree.

Answers

Answer:

m∠U = 75.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

use Law of Cosines:

9.6² = 3.8² + 9.8² - 2(3.8)(9.8)·cos U

92.16 = 14.44 + 96.04 - 74.48·cos U

92.16 = 110.48 - 74.48·cosU

-18.32 = -74.48·cosU

cos U = -18.32/-74.48

cos U = 0.24597

arccos U = 75.7

Answer:

m∠U = 75.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

its on delta and if you use a calculator then its m∠U = 75.7°

Find the Volume of a hemisphere that has a radius of 8 centimeters. Round to the nearest tenth

Answers

Answer:1072.3

Step by step:

use the hemisphere formula which is 2/3*pie*r^3

substitute 8 centimeters into the equation.

The Volume of a hemisphere is,

⇒ Volume of hemisphere = 1071.78 cm³

What is Multiplication?

To multiply means to add a number to itself a particular number of times. Multiplication can be viewed as a process of repeated addition.

We have to given that;

Radius of hemisphere = 8 centimeters

We know that;

Volume of hemisphere = 2/3 (πr³)

Hence, We get;

⇒ Volume of hemisphere = 2/3 × 3.14 × 8³

⇒ Volume of hemisphere = 1071.78 cm³

Thus, The Volume of a hemisphere is,

⇒ Volume of hemisphere = 1071.78 cm³

The area of the triangle is
108 m². What is the value
of x?
xm
(x+6) m

Answers

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for area of a triangke is;

A = ½bh

Where;

b is base

h is height

From the triangle diagram given;

b = x + 6

h = x

Thus;

A = ½(x + 6)x

A = ½x² + 3x

Now we are told that the area is 108 m², Thus;

½x² + 3x = 108

Multiply through by 2 to get;

x² + 6x = 216

x² + 6x - 216 = 0

Using quadratic formula, we arrive at;

x = -18 or 12

x can't be negative, thus; x = 12

The sum of two numbers is 18 and their difference is 4 what are the two numbers?

Answers

Answer:

7 and 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

x+y = 18

x-y = 4

Add the two equations together to eliminate y

x+y = 18

x-y = 4

----------------

2x +0y = 22

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 22/2

x = 11

Solve for y

x+y = 18

11+y =18

Subtract 11 from each side

11+y-11 =18-11

y = 7

The two numbers are 7 and 11

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

The rules of multiplication state, that when there are two negatives being multiplied by each other, they become positive. You will multiply -10 x -12, and since there are two negatives, they cancel out.

Now it becomes simple multiplication. Simply multiply 10 x 12, without the negatives since they have been canceled out.

Write the equation of an exponential function that satisfies these characteristics:
1. y intercept of (0,5)
2. range is all y values greater than 0

Answers

Press here to get the correct answer

The value of the exponential equation is y = 5ˣ + 4

What are the laws of exponents?

When you raise a quotient to a power you raise both the numerator and the denominator to the power. When you raise a number to a zero power you'll always get 1. Negative exponents are the reciprocals of the positive exponents.

The different Laws of exponents are:

mᵃ×mᵇ = mᵃ⁺ᵇ

mᵃ / mᵇ = mᵃ⁻ᵇ

( mᵃ )ᵇ = mᵃᵇ

mᵃ / nᵃ = ( m / n )ᵃ

m⁰ = 1

m⁻ᵃ = ( 1 / mᵃ )

Given data ,

Let the exponential equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

The y intercept is ( 0 , 5 )

So , when x = 0 , the value of y = 5

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

y = 5ˣ + 4   be equation (1)

when x = 0

y = 5⁰ + 4

y = 1 + 4

y = 5

when x = 2

y = 5² + 4

y = 25 + 4 = 29

Therefore , the range is all y values greater than 0

Hence , the equation is y = 5ˣ + 4
