The city evaluates the continuous increase of carbon monoxide from different origins each year. According to calculations, in the year "C: 2019"<span> (rounded to the closest whole number), the concentration of CO will surpass the allowed threshold.
If this is not correct, feel free to inform me and I will find out the right answer. However, I am confident this is accurate.:) </span>
Response:
83%
Clarification:
At the surface, the weight can be expressed as:
W = GMm / R²
where G denotes the gravitational constant, M represents the Earth's mass, m signifies the shuttle's mass, and R is the Earth's radius.
When in orbit, the weight is given by:
w = GMm / (R+h)²
where h indicates the shuttle's altitude above Earth's surface.
The weight ratio is as follows:
w/W = R² / (R+h)²
w/W = (R / (R+h))²
For R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:
w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²
w/W = 0.83
Thus, the shuttle maintains 83% of its weight as it orbits.
Answer:
1. The force applied by the shelf supporting the book.
Explanation:
The free body diagram for the book is represented as follows:
1 - The weight of the book acting downward
2 - The normal force exerted by the shelf upward on the book.
As the book remains stationary, these two forces balance each other, and in accordance with Newton's Third Law, the reactive force equivalent to gravity is opposite and equal to the weight of the book. This reaction force prevents the book from falling off the shelf.
