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

You punt a ball straight up at 20 m/s. What is the balls hangtime
Natalija [7]

The hang time of the ball is 4.08 s

Explanation:

The ball is in free fall motion: this means that it is acted upon gravity only, so its acceleration is the acceleration of gravity,

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2

downward (the negative sign refers to the downward direction).

Since this is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

First we calculate the time it takes for the ball to reach the maximum height, where the velocity is zero:

v = 0

Substituting:

u = +20 m/s

a=-9.8 m/s^2

we find t

t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-20}{-9.8}=2.04 s

The motion of the ball is symmetrical, so the total time of flight is just twice the time needed to reach the maximum height, therefore:

T=2t=2(2.04)=4.08 s

ella [17]
10 minutes are the same as 600 seconds.

If you run 2 meters in 1 second then you run 2 * 600 meters in 600 seconds.

Give two environmental effects of using wood as an energy resource.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Using wood also helps keep carbon out of the atmosphere, helping to mitigate climate change.

Deforestation.  

Explanation:

Trees store carbon dioxide as they grow. After harvest, wood products continue to store much of this carbon. These benefits continue when wood is reclaimed to manufacture other products.

Extraction of wood within the supply areas clearly affects the forest and the environment. Some of these impacts can be seen in the study areas. The rainfall is increasingly irregular, biodiversity has been lost. Communities have experienced flooding and drought, which adversely affects the most important sector in the country's economy, that of agriculture. The local populations are concerned about these impacts, which affect not only the environment but the whole social economy.
