Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 64QAP

Time taken for each orbital =1.52hours

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

Altitude = 345km

Mass of the object = 10.0kg

Formula used:

  T2=(4π2GM)(R+h)3

  T= Time

  G= Gravitational constant

  M= Mass of Earth

  R= Radius of Earth

  h= Altitude

  Fg=GMm(R+h)2

  F= Gravitational force

  m= Mass of the object

  F=mg

  F= Force

  m= Mass of the object

  g= Acceleration

Calculation:

Time taken for each orbital,

  T2=(4π2GM)(R+h)3T=2π (R+h) 3 GM=2π ((6371+345)× 10 3 ) ) 3 (6.67× 10 11 N m 2 /k g 2 )×(6.0× 10 24 kg)=5463.70s=1.52hours

Conclusion:

Time taken for each orbital =1.52hours

Answer to Problem 64QAP

Gravitational force =88.73N

Fraction =88.73N98N=0.91

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

Altitude = 345km

Mass of the object = 10.0kg

Formula used:

  T2=(4π2GM)(R+h)3

  T= Time

  G= Gravitational constant

  M= Mass of Earth

  R= Radius of Earth

  h= Altitude

  Fg=GMm(R+h)2

  F= Gravitational force

  m= Mass of the object

  F=mg

  F= Force

  m= Mass of the object

  g= Acceleration

Calculation:

Gravitational force,

  Fg=GMm(R+h)2=(6.67×1011Nm2/kg2)×(6.0*1024kg)×10.0kg((6371+345)×103))2=88.73N

  F=mg=10.0kg×9.8m/s2=98NFraction=FgF=88.73N98N=0.91

Conclusion:

Gravitational force =88.73N

Fraction =88.73N98N=0.91

How can an object be considered weightless in ISS?

According to the calculation comparatively to the weight on Earth, in the ISS weigh of the object is less.

Given info:

Altitude = 345km

Mass of the object = 10.0kg

Explanation:

Comparatively to the weight on Earth, in the ISS weigh of the object is less.

Conclusion:

Comparatively to the weight on Earth, in the ISS weigh of the object is less.
