Gravity's pull in space

Physics

Astronauts and space tourists may rhapsodize about feeling weightless during spaceflight, but don't be fooled by the somewhat misleading term "zero-gravity." Every object in space still feels the gravitational pull from other objects, including space travelers who imagine themselves free of Earth's gravitational shackles.

Earth's gravity affects everything at or near the planet's surface. We feel the force of gravity on Earth through our mass, and that force also translates into a downward pull of 9.8 meters per second squared (32 ft/s^2).

<span>That's why astronauts need powerful machines such as the space shuttle's main engines and twin boosters or the Russian Soyuz rockets to travel beyond Earth's immediate gravitational tug</span>

What is the relationship between matter and energy as it changes states of matter (phase changes?)
AlekseyPX

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.

To see if your results are reasonable, you can compare the final velocity of the stone as it falls down unwinding the wire from
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The velocity of the stone is 2.57 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that

Height = 0.337 m

We need to calculate the velocity of the stone

Using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2gh

Where, v = velocity of stone

u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Put the value into the formula

v^2-0=2\times9.8\times 0.337

v=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times0.337}

v=2.57\ m/s

Hence, The velocity of the stone is 2.57 m/s.

The star Vega has an apparent visual magnitude of 0.03, and the star HR 4374 has an apparent visual magnitude of 4.87. It has be
laila [671]

Answer:

(D) Vega must produce more energy than HR 4374.

Explanation:

The apparent visual magnitude is defined as the luminosity of a star seen from earth. The Greek astronomer Hipparcos was the first who invent a numerical scale to describe how bright a star appear to be in the sky to the naked eye, so he gave an apparent magnitude of 6 to the faintest star in the sky and an apparent magnitude of 1 to the brigthest one. Since the arrive of the telescope era this range was expanded to negative numbers for the most luminous one.

The human eye has a logaritmical response to the luminosity of stars, so as an example, if one star has an apparent magnitude of 6 and another one has an apparent magnitude of 1, the second one will be 100 times brigther than the first one. In the other hand, for a star that has apparent magnitude of 1 it will appear to be 2.512 times brigther than a star with apparent magnitude of 2.

The apparent magnitude of a star can variate as a consecuence of the distance from earth or for its energy production.

With all these facts clear enough described above, it is easier to conclude that as the two star are at the same distance the apparent visual magnitude will depend in the energy production. In the case of Vega it has an apparent visual magnitude of 0.03, while HR 4374 has an apparent visual magnitude of 4.87. According with the scale stablished for Hipparcos, Vega will be more luminous than HR 4374. This means that Vega produce more energy than HR 4374.

Kingda Ka has a maximum speed of 57.2 m/s. Determine the height of the hill on this roller coaster. Explain to get full credit,
kodGreya [7K]

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy.

The height of the hill is "166.76 m".

<h3>LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY:</h3>

According to the law of conservation of energy at the highest point of the roller coaster ride, that is, the hill, the whole (maximum) kinetic energy of the roller coaster is converted into its potential energy:

Maximum\ Kinetic\ Energy\ Lost = Maximum\ Potential\ Energy\ Gain\\\\&#10;\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2=mgh\\\\&#10;h=\frac{v_{max}^2}{2g}

where,

  • h = height of the hill = ?
  • v_{max} = maximum velocity = 57.2 m/s
  • g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

h=\frac{(57.2\ m/s)^2}{2(9.81\ m/s^2)}\\\\&#10;

<u>h = 166.76 m</u>

What is the amount of matter in a substance?​
professor190 [17]

Answer:

mass

Explanation:

Mass (M) is the measure of the amount of matter in an object. Mass is measured in grams (g). Mass is measured on a balance by comparing the object against other objects with known masses.
