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.

Why do hurricanes rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

A hurricane's spin and the spin's direction is determined by a super-powerful phenomenon called the Coriolis effect. It causes the path of everything from particles in the air to currents in the ocean so they curve as they travel across and over Earth's surfaces.

When heat is converted into another form of energy, the total amount of energy is constant. Which law best illustrates this stat
Lorico [155]
The correct option is (A) <span>the first law of thermodynamics

Explanation:
The first law of thermodynamics takes the idea of law of conservation of energy and modify it for thermodynamics systems. It is the total internal energy of the systems equals to the amount of heat added "to" the system and the workdone "by" the system given as:
</span>ΔU = Q - W
<span>Q = heat added TO the system
W = work BY the system
</span>ΔU = Total internal energy
<span>
But the total internal energy is CONSERVED; it means that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another. Hence the correct option is (A).</span>

A floating ice block is pushed through a displacement d = (14 m) i hat - (11 m) j along a straight embankment by rushing water,
Alika [10]

Explanation:

Given that,

Displacement in ice block, d=14i-11j

Force exerted by water, F=158i-179j

To find,

Work done by the force during the displacement.

Solve,

We know that the product of force and displacement is called work done. It is also equal to the dot product of force and displacement as :

W=F.d

W=(158i-179j).(14i-11j)

We know that, i.i = j.j = k.k = 1

W=2212+1969=4181\ J

So, the work done by the force on the block during the displacement is 4181 Joules.

How much heat is released when a 10.0-g sample of iron cools from 75.0°c to 25.5 °c? the specific heat capacity of iron is 0.449
GalinKa [24]
M = 10.0 g, the mass of the iron sample
ΔT = 75 - 25.2 = 49.5°C, the decrease in temperature
c = 0.449 J/(g-°C), the specific heat of iron

The heat released is
Q = m*c*ΔT
    = (10.0 g)*(0.449 J/(g-°C))*(49.5 C)
    = 222.255 J

Answer: 222.3 J (nearest tenth)
