An astronaunt in a space capsule orbiting the earth experience weightlessness. why?

1 answer:

3 0

Many students believe that orbiting astronauts are weightless because they do notexperience a force of gravity. ... While this is partly true, it does not explain their sense of weightlessness. The force of gravity acting upon an astronaut on the spacestation is certainly less than on Earth's surface.

Two forces,one of 12 N and another of 24 N,act on a body in such a way that they make an angle of 90degree with each other.Find

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

26.83 N.

Explanation:

If the angle between two vector is 90°, to get the resultant, we use Pythagoras theorem.

a² = b²+c²......................... Equation 1

Where a = R = Resultant, b = 12 N, c = 24 N.

Substitute these values into equation 1

R² = 12²+24²

R² = 144+576

R² = 720

√R² = √720

R = 26.83 N.

Hence, the result of the two force is 26.83 N.

A 1210 kg rollercoaster car is

ratelena [41]

Answer: 4.98 m/s

Explanation:

You solve these kinetic energy, potential energy problems by using the fact P.E.+ K.E. = a constant as long as friction is ignored.

PEi = 0 in this case

KEi = ½mVi² = PEf+KEf = mghf + ½mVf²

½1210*8.31² = 1210*9.8*2.26 + ½1210*Vf²

½1210*Vf² = ½1210*8.31² - 1210*9.8*2.26

Vf² = 8.31² - 2*9.8*2.26 = 4.98² so Vf = 4.98m/s

Water is pumped steadily out of a flooded basement at a speed of 5.4 m/s through a uniform hose of radius 0.83 cm. The hose pass

Gala2k [10]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the flow as a function of the volume in a certain time, as well as the potential and kinetic energy that act on the pump and the fluid.

The work done would be defined as

$\Delta W = \Delta PE + \Delta KE$

Where,

PE = Potential Energy

KE = Kinetic Energy

$\Delta W = (\Delta m)gh+\frac{1}{2}(\Delta m)v^2$

Where,

m = Mass

g = Gravitational energy

h = Height

v = Velocity

Considering power as the change of energy as a function of time we will then have to

$P = \frac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}$

$P = \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}(gh+\frac{1}{2}v^2)$

The rate of mass flow is,

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = \rho_w Av$

Where,

$\rho_w$ = Density of water

A = Area of the hose $\rightarrow A=\pi r^2$

The given radius is 0.83cm or $0.83 * 10^{-2}$ m, so the Area would be

$A = \pi (0.83*10^{-2})^2$

$A = 0.0002164m^2$

We have then that,

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = \rho_w Av$

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = (1000)(0.0002164)(5.4)$

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = 1.16856kg/s$

Final the power of the pump would be,

$P = \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}(gh+\frac{1}{2}v^2)$

$P = (1.16856)((9.8)(3.5)+\frac{1}{2}5.4^2)$

$P = 57.1192W$

Therefore the power of the pump is 57.11W

a place that is typically cold because of an increase in altitude would most likely have what type of climate? dry climate mild

Marta_Voda [28]

A place that is cold because of an increase in altitude has a mountain area climate or simply, mountain climate. An area that is high in altitude typically has a colder temperature because of the increased amount of rainfall they have. Also, air tends to cool as it rises in temperature.

To the nearest square foot, how many square feet are there in an area of 4.4 square meters?

vichka [17]

Answer:

4.4 square meters = 47 square foot

Explanation:

We have

1 meter = 3.28084 foot

1 square meter = 3.28084 x 3.28084 square foot = 10.76 square foot

4.4 square meters = 4.4 x 10.76 = 47.36 square foot = 47 square foot

4.4 square meters = 47 square foot
