    Energy and Work related - Did i do this right?

    1. Potential energy- energy that is stored in by an object. 2. Gravitational potential energy- achieved by doing work against the force of gravity. 3. Work- the transfer of mechanical energy. 4. Kinetic energy- the energy of motion. 5. Mechanical energy- combination of kinetic and potential...

    How Do You Calculate the Altitude and Distance of Spacecraft Using Trigonometry?

    c) Distance from ISS to Houston = d => 1543.62 Distance from SS to Houston = c => c/sin33 = 1418/sinB = 1418/sinB*sin33...

    How Do You Calculate the Altitude and Distance of Spacecraft Using Trigonometry?

    I did it this far, but I'm not sure if I even did it right: Solution: Laws used: Sin = Opposite / Hypotenuse, Cos = adjacent / hypotenuse and A / sina = B/ sin b = C / sin c < A = 180 - 33 - 72 = 75 < B = 180 - 31 - 81 = 68 d --> d/sin72 =...
