What are some reasons we put orbiting spacecraft up into the atmosphere?

Physics

Tasya [4]4 years ago
5 0
The orbiting spacecraft are put in the atmosphere to gain information about the weather conditions, for satellite communications, for measuring changes in the atmosphere. These crafts are put in the outer atmosphere, where the atmosphere is very thin and the craft can stay its specified orbit.

An amusement park ride raises people high into the air, suspends them for a moment, and then drops them at a rate of free-fall a
blsea [12.9K]

Answer: apparent weighlessness.


Explanation:


1) Balance of forces on a person falling:


i) To answer this question we will deal with the assumption of non-drag force (abscence of air).


ii) When a person is dropped, and there is not air resistance, the only force acting on the person's body is the Earth's gravitational attraction (downward), which is the responsible for the gravitational acceleration (around 9.8 m/s²).


iii) Under that sceneraio, there is not normal force acting on the person (the normal force is the force that the floor or a chair exerts on a body to balance the gravitational force when the body is on it).


2) This is, the person does not feel a pressure upward, which is he/she does not feel the weight: freefalling is a situation of apparent weigthlessness.


3) True weightlessness is when the object is in a place where there exists not grativational acceleration: for example a point between two planes where the grativational forces are equal in magnitude but opposing in direction and so they cancel each other.


Therefore, you conclude that, assuming no air resistance, a person in this ride experiencing apparent weightlessness.

Which of the following are true? Select all that apply. The net electric field at any location inside a block of copper is zero
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

1) The net electric field at any location inside a block of copper is zero if the copper block is in equilibrium.

2) In equilibrium, there is no net flow of mobile charged particles inside a conductor.

3) If the net electric field at a particular location inside a piece of metal is not zero, the metal is not in equilibrium.

Explanation:

1) and 3) A block of copper is a conductor. The charged particles on a conductor in equilibrium are at rest, so the intensity of the electric field at all interior points of the conductor is zero, otherwise, the charges would move resulting in an electric current.

2) The charged particles on a conductor in equilibrium are at rest.

Determine the potential difference between the ends of the wire of resistance 5 Ω if 720 C passes through it per minute.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The potential difference between the ends of a wire is 60 volts.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, R = 5 ohms

Charge, q = 720 C

Time, t = 1 min = 60 s

We know that the charge flowing per unit charge is called current in the circuit. It is given by :

I = 12 A

Let V is the potential difference between the ends of a wire. It can be calculated using Ohm's law as :

V = IR

V = 60 Volts

So, the potential difference between the ends of a wire is 60 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.
