Question

Lexy used the formula shown to calculate the force of gravity on a space shuttle.

Fg = GStartFraction (3 times 10 Superscript 5 Baseline kilograms) (6 times 10 Superscript 24 Baseline kilograms) over [(6.4 times 10 Superscript 6 Baseline m) + (1.8 times 10 Superscript 5 Baseline m)] Superscript 2 EndFraction

What does 3 × 105 kg represent?

Answer 1

The space shuttle is the transportation device used to travel from earth to space.It is used to transport people to orbiting spacecraft. 3×10⁸ is the mass of the space shuttle.

What is space shuttle?

The space shuttle is the transportation device used to travel from earth to space. it is a type partially reusable rocket-launched vehicle to go into orbit around Earth.

It is used to transport people to orbiting spacecraft.

As we know the mass of the Earth is 5.972 × 10$21$ kg so that the earth's mass and the mass of the shuttle must be more than the figure .The total must be more than the mass of the earth.

But the total value is less. Hence the given mass is the mass of space shuttle.
