A rocket takes off from Earth's surface, accelerating straight up at 47.2 m/s2. Calculate the normal force (in N) acting on an a

stronaut of mass 80.9 kg, including her space suit. (Assume the rocket's initial motion parallel to the +y-direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

Answer:

Approximately 4.61\times 10^{3}\; {\rm N} upwards (assuming that g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}.)

Explanation:

External forces on this astronaut:

  • Weight (gravitational attraction) from the earth (downwards,) and
  • Normal force from the floor (upwards.)

Let (\text{normal force}) denote the magnitude of the normal force on this astronaut from the floor. Since the direction of the normal force is opposite to the direction of the gravitational attraction, the magnitude of the net force on this astronaut would be:

\begin{aligned}(\text{net force}) &= (\text{normal force}) - (\text{weight})\end{aligned}.

Let m denote the mass of this astronaut. The magnitude of the gravitational attraction on this astronaut would be (\text{weight}) = m\, g.

Let a denote the acceleration of this astronaut. The magnitude of the net force on this astronaut would be (\text{net force}) = m\, a.

Rearrange \begin{aligned}(\text{net force}) &= (\text{normal force}) - (\text{weight})\end{aligned} to obtain an expression for the magnitude of the normal force on this astronaut:

\begin{aligned}(\text{normal force}) &= (\text{net force}) + (\text{weight}) \\ &= m\, a + m\, g \\ &= m\, (a + g) \\ &= 80.9\; {\rm kg} \times (47.2\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}} + 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}) \\ &\approx 4.61 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}.

1. This heating system maintains room temperature at or near a particular value, known as the .
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. This heating system maintains room temperature at or near a particular value, known as the set point.

A temperature setpoint is the level at which the body attempts to maintain its temperature. When the setpoint is raised, the result is a fever.

2. You open the window, and a blast of icy air enters the room. The temperature drops to 17 degrees Celsius, which acts as a STIMULUS to the heating system.

3. The thermostat is a SENSOR that detects the stimulus and triggers a response.

Thermostat is use to turn off or on a switch, when the temperature is high or low

4. The heater turns on, and the temperature in the room INCREASE until it returns to the original setting.

This is the work of the thermostat above, when the temperature of the room is below a certain temperature the thermostat triggered the switch and keep increasing the temperature of the room until normal setting.

5. The response of the heating system reduces the stimulus. This is an example of NEGATIVE feedback.

Body temperature is regulated by negative feedback. The stimulus is when the body temperature exceeds 37 degrees Celsius, the sensors are the nerve cells with endings in the skin and brain, the control is the temperature regulatory center in the brain, and the effector is the sweat glands throughout the body.

6. The way this heating system maintains a stable room temperature is similar to the way an animal's body controls many aspects of its internal environment. The maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment is known as HOMEOSTASIS.

Humans rely on homeostasis to keep their core temperature hovering around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, so that their bodies can maintain proper function. Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a relatively stable internal state that persists despite changes in the world outside.

An accelerating voltage
ki77a [65]
Accelerating voltage<span> is the difference in potential between the filament and the anode,and it can be varied between 5 KeV and 30 KeV on the S-500 and between 2 KeV and 30 KeV on the S-450. As the </span>voltage<span> is increased, the electrons travel with higher velocity and are more energetic.</span>

)) What do these two changes have in common?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Both are only physical changes

Explanation:

A physical change is a change that does not involve or alter the chemical composition of the substances involved. Physical changes form no new substance and can be easily separated into individual constituents. Example of physical changes are change in state, boiling, melting etc.

According to this question, two processes were given as follows:

1. mixing chocolate syrup into milk

2. rain forming in a cloud

These two processes are similar in the sense that they are both examples of physical changes.
