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.

A family of 2 adults and 3 children went on holiday to Miami.

The family visited a theme park.

They paid a total of 322 dollars to go in.

The exchange rate was £1 = 1.84 dollars.

Change 322 dollars to pounds (£).

Answers

Answer:

£175

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the exchange rate was £1 = 1.84 dollars.

We are to change 322 dollars to pounds (£).

£1 = 1.84 dollars.

x = 322 dollars

Cross multiply

1.84 * x = 322

1.84x = 322

x = 322/1.84

x = 175

Hence 322 dollars in pounds will be £175

A,E, and D are collinear. BCDE is a parallelogram. Find m

Answers

Answer:

B. 29º

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that BCDE is a parallelogram, then [tex]BE \parallel CD[/tex] and A, E and D are collinear. Then, angle E inside triangle ABE and angle D inside parallelogram BCDE have the same measure. That is:

[tex]\angle D = \angle E = 51^{\circ}[/tex] (1)

In addition, the sum of internal angles in triangles equals 180º, which implies that:

[tex]\angle A + \angle B + \angle E = 180^{\circ}[/tex] (2)

If we know that  [tex]\angle B = 100^{\circ}[/tex] and [tex]\angle E = 51^{\circ}[/tex], then [tex]\angle A[/tex] is:

[tex]\angle A = 180^{\circ}-\angle B - \angle E[/tex]

[tex]\angle A = 180^{\circ}-100^{\circ}-51^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\angle A = 29^{\circ}[/tex]

Hence, correct answer is B.

The answer would be be 29 degrees

Angle sum property of triangle states that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°

We need to prove angle sum property.

What is angle sum property?

The sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees

Consider a ∆ABC, as shown in the figure below. To prove the above property of triangles, draw a line PQ parallel to the side BC of the given triangle

Since PQ is a straight line, it can be concluded that:

∠PAB + ∠BAC + ∠QAC = 180°  ………(1)

Since PQ||BC and AB, AC are transversals,

Therefore, ∠QAC = ∠ACB (a pair of alternate angle)

Also, ∠PAB = ∠CBA (a pair of alternate angle)

Substituting the value of ∠QAC and ∠PAB in equation (1),

∠ACB + ∠BAC + ∠CBA= 180°

Thus, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point (-1, 4) it's point where x-coordinate is -1 and y-coordinate is 4

Graph in B is the only one passing through (-1, 4)

The equation of the line is y = 2x + 6. The graph is represented by B.

What is an equation of the line?

An equation of the line is defined as a linear equation having a degree of one. The equation of the line contains two variables x and y. And the third parameter is the slope of the line which represents the elevation of the line.

The general form of the equation of the line:-

y = mx + c

m = slope

c = y-intercept

Slope = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

Given that the slope of the line is 2 and the point through which it is passing is (-1,4).

The equation of the line will be calculated as,

y = mx + c

y = 2x + c

4 = -2 + c

c = 6

The equation will be written as,

y =2x + 6

tim bought all of the 2 3 over 4 lb packages for a party


How many pounds of meat fid tim buy?

Answers

Answer: he bought 1 and 1/2 pounds of meat. (also could be written as 1.5 pounds)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Tim bought all of the two 3/4 lb packages for a party.

Then he bought 2 packages. Such that each package has  3/4 lb meat.

Then the total amount of meat that Tim has is equal to 2 times the amount of meat in each package, this is:

Total meat = 2*(3/4 lb) = (6/4 lb)

and we can write 6 = 4 + 2

then:

Total meat =  6/4  lb = (4 + 2)/4  lb = (4/4 + 2/4) lb = (1 + 1/2) lb

So he bought 1 and 1/2 pounds of meat. (also could be written as 1.5 pounds)

Using the concept of rational numbers, it is found that the best method Toby could use is a multiplication of fractions, as the product of two fractions(two rational numbers) is always a fraction(rational number).

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

A rational number, no matter if an integer, a finite decimal or a repeating decimal can always be represented by a fraction.The product of two fractions will always result in a fraction, as the numerator of the multiplication is the multiplication of the numerator of the factors, and same for the denominator.Thus, since the product of two fractions is always a fraction, the product of two rational numbers is always a rational number.

How do I find these equations using substitution y=-3x+5 and 5x-4y=-3 ?

Answers

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

you would change it to 5x-4(-3x+5)=-3, because you put the info for the first equation into the second equation.

5x-4(-3x+5)=-3

5x+12x-20=-3

17x-20=-3

17x=17

x=1

Answer:

(1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To solve using substitution, first isolate one of the variables in one of the equations. However, the y in y = -3x + 5 has already been isolated, so we don't need this step. Instead, take that value of y and substitute it for the y in the other equation, 5x - 4y = -3. So, substitute -3x + 5 for the y in 5x - 4y = -3 and solve:

[tex]5x-4(-3x+5)= -3\\5x+12x-20=-3\\17x-20=-3\\17x = 17\\x = 1[/tex]

2) So, x = 1. Now, take that value of x and substitute back into any of the equations to find the y value. (I chose to substitute it into y = -3x + 5, but either choice is fine). So, substitute 1 for the x in y = -3x + 5 and solve:

[tex]y = -3(1)+5\\y = -3+5\\y = 2[/tex]

So, y = 2. Thus, by knowing both x and y values, the solution would be (1,2).
