Gravity's pull in space

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>

A force of 100N is applied to an area of 100mm².what is the pressure exerted on the area in N/m².​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

P = 1000000[Pa] = 1000 [kPa]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of pressure, which is equal to the relationship of force over area.

P=F/A

where:

P = pressure [Pa] (units of pascals)

F = force = 100 [N]

A = area = 100 [mm²]

But first we must convert the units from square millimeters to square meters.

A=100[mm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2} m^{2} }{1000^{2}mm^{2}  } =0.0001[m^{2} ]

Now replacing:

P=100/0.0001\\P=1000000[Pa]

3. What is the kinetic energy of a 1300 kg car moving at 26.3 m/s?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:K.E=449598.5j

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of a moving car=1/2mv^2

Where m is the mass of the car

And V is the velocity of the car

K.E=1/2 ×1300×26.3^2

K.E=449598.5j

Find the electric field at a point midway between two charges of +40.0 x 10^-9 c and.+60.0 x 10^-9 c
PIT_PIT [208]
Missing part in the text: "...the charges are <span>separated by a distance of 30.0 cm."
</span>
Solution:
The point midway between the two charges is located 15.0 cm from one charge and 15.0 from the other charge. The electric field generated by each of the charges is
E=k_e \frac{q}{r^2}
where
ke is the Coulomb's constant
Q is the value of the charge
r is the distance of the point at which we calculate the field from the charge (so, in this problem, r=15.0 cm=0.15 m).

Let's calculate the electric field generated by the first charge:
E_1 = (8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2} ) \frac{+40.0 \cdot 10^{-9} C}{(0.15 m)^2}=1.6 \cdot 10^4 N/C

While the electric field generated by the second charge is
E_2 = (8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} ) \frac{+60.0 \cdot 10^{-9} C}{(0.15 m)^2}=2.4 \cdot 10^4 N/C

Both charges are positive, this means that both electric fields are directed toward the charge. Therefore, at the point midway between the two charges the two electric fields have opposite direction, so the total electric field at that point is given by the difference between the two fields:
E=E_2 - E_1 = 2.4 \cdot 10^4 N/C - 1.6 \cdot 10^4 N/C = 8000 N/C

A 45 g bullet strikes and becomes embedded in a 1.55 kg block of wood placed on a horizontal surface just in front of the gun. I
zimovet [89]

Answer:

299.51 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass of the bullet = 45 g = 0.045 kg

M = mass of the block = 1.55 kg

v = muzzle speed of the bullet

V = speed of bullet-block combination after the collision

μ = Coefficient of friction between the block and the surface = 0.28

d = distance traveled by the block = 13 m

V' = final speed of the bullet-block combination = 0 m/s

acceleration of the bullet-block combination due to frictional force is given as

a = - μg

using the kinematics equation

V'² = V² + 2 a d

0² = V² + 2 (- μg) d

0 = V² - 2 (μg) d

0 = V² - 2 (0.28) (9.8) (13)

V = 8.45 m/s

Using conservation of momentum for collision between bullet and block

mv = (M + m) V

(0.045) v = (1.55 + 0.045) (8.45)

v = 299.51 m/s
