The reason an astronaut in an earth satellite feels weightless is that the astronaut is falling.
Option a
<u>Explanation: </u>
The other options except Option is not applicable since the gravitational force is a long range force, in which the satellite revolves very close to the surface of the Earth where the gravity is felt.The zero weight experienced by the astronaut in a satellite is due to the earth pulling along with satellite. Due to gravitational force of the Earth,the astronaut falls freely .
But why not the satellite comes down due to gravity when its launched in space. The fact is that the satellite is launched with velocity of tangent direction and it is very high. The centripetal force balances the gravity.
First, let us derive our working equation. We all know that pressure is the force exerted on an area of space. In equation, that would be: P = F/A. From Newton's Law of Second Motion, force is equal to the product of mass and gravity: F = mg. So, we can substitute F to the first equation so that it becomes, P = mg/A. Now, pressure can also be determined as the force exerted by a fluid on an area. This fluid can be measure in terms of volume. Relating volume and mass, we use the parameter of density: ρ = m/V. Simplifying further in terms of height, Volume is the product of the cross-sectional area and the height. So, V = A*h. The working equation will then be derived to be:
P = ρgh
This type of pressure is called the hydrostatic pressure, the pressure exerted by the fluid over a known height. Next, we find the literature data of the density of seawater. From studies, seawater has a density ranging from 1,020 to 1,030 kg/m³. Let's just use 1,020 kg/m³. Substituting the values and making sure that the units are consistent:
P = (1,020 kg/m³)(9.81 m/s²)(11 km)*(1,000 m/1km)
P = 110,068,200 Pa or 110.07 MPa
Answer:
we all know that deforestation is when tress are cut down but this may cause cardio dioxide to go up into the atmosphere and this may cause the rise in sea level and temperates tend to fluctuate
Explanation:
I'm just that smart yah dig
A = -9.8
v = -9.8t -8
s = -4.9 t2 -8t +25
So… -5t^2 -8t + 25 =0, we’ll rearrange to 5t^2 + 8t - 25. We get two roots, one is positive and is 1.59 seconds
V = -9.8(1.59) - 8 = -23.6
So… it takes 1.59 seconds to hit the ground at -23.6 m/s.
Answer:
The time taken to reach the maximum height is 3.20 seconds
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The initial height from which the volcano erupts the lava bomb = 64.4 m
The initial upward velocity of the lava bomb = 31.4 m/s
The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
The time it takes the lava bomb to reach its maximum height, t, is given by the following kinematic equation as follows;
v = u - g·t
Where;
v = The final velocity = 0 m/s at maximum height
u = The initial velocity = 31.4 m/s
g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
t = The time taken to reach the maximum height
Substituting the values gives;
0 = 31.4 - 9.8 × t
∴ 31.4 = 9.8 × t
t = 31.4/9.8 ≈ 3.204
The time taken to reach the maximum height rounded to three significant figures = t ≈ 3.20 seconds
