There is no gravity in orbit/space to pull them toward a certain area so they have full movement and that is why they float

You feel gravity when you feel things pressing together. Like your foot pressing against the floor, or your heart pressing against the inside of your chest. If everything around you is falling just like you are, then you never feel any things pressing together, and that feels like there's no weight.

The lowest point in the state of Louisiana is New Orleans. The city’s elevation is 8 feet below sea level. Write the elevation o
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

-8

Explanation:

sea level is another way of saying zero. If something is above or above sea level it is a positive integer. like a regular number. if something is below sea level it is a negative integer like negative numbers. They said 8 is the elevation but new orleans is BELOW sea level. that means the integer we are looking for is going to be a negative number. 8 is the number they told us and since it is below the sea level. The integer of new orleans that represents its elevation is -8.

erica [24]

Answer:

The average drag force is  1.206 (-i)  N

Explanation:

You have to apply the equations of<em> Impulse</em>:

I=FmedΔt

Where I and Fmed (the average force) are vectors.

The Impulse can also be expressed as the change in the <em>quantity of motion</em> (vector P)

I=P2-P1

P=mV (m is the mass and v is the velocity)

You can calculate the quantity of motion at the beggining and at the end of the given time:

Replace the mass in kg, dividing the mass by 1000 to convert it from g to kg.

P1=(0.179kg)(30.252m/s) i=  5.414 i kg.m/s

P2=0.179kg)(28.452m/s) i = 5.092 i kg. m/s

Where i is the unit vector in the x-direction.

Therefore:

I= 5.092 i - 5.414 i = -0.322 i

The average drag force is:

Fmed= I/Δt = -0.322 i/ 0.267s = -1.206 i N

8. An unpowered flywheel is slowed by a constant frictional torque. At time t = 0 it has an angular velocity of 200 rad/s. Ten s
allsm [11]

Answer:

a) \omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}, b) \omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

The magnitude of torque is a form of moment, that is, a product of force and lever arm (distance), and force is the product of mass and acceleration for rotating systems with constant mass. That is:

\tau = F \cdot r

\tau = m\cdot a \cdot r

\tau = m \cdot \alpha \cdot r^{2}

Where \alpha is the angular acceleration, which is constant as torque is constant. Angular deceleration experimented by the unpowered flywheel is:

\alpha = \frac{170\,\frac{rad}{s} - 200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{10\,s}

\alpha = -3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

Now, angular velocities of the unpowered flywheel at 50 seconds and 100 seconds are, respectively:

a) t = 50 s.

\omega = 200\,\frac{rad}{s} - \left(3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (50\,s)

\omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}

b) t = 100 s.

Given that friction is of reactive nature. Frictional torque works on the unpowered flywheel until angular velocity is reduced to zero, whose instant is:

t = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s}-200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{\left(-3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)}

t = 66.667\,s

Since t > 66.667\,s, then the angular velocity is equal to zero. Therefore:

\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}
