When you're in an airplane that's 7 miles up off the ground, the strength of gravity plunges to only 99.6 percent of its strength all the way down on the ground.
A big heavy person, who weighs 200 pounds down at the airport, weighs only 199 pounds 4.7 ounces in a plane at the altitude of 7 miles.
Answer:
SECOND LAW OF NEWTON
Explanation:
When the rocket fires the engines the gases leave at high speed and collide with the space station, transferring an impulse given by the expression
I = F t = Δp
As we can see this expression is a form of Newton's second law
F = m a
a = dv / dt
F = m dv / dt
F dt = m dv
p = mv
F dt = dp
Therefore the station moves through the SECOND LAW OF NEWTON
The moment of inertia of a point mass about an arbitrary point is given by:
I = mr²
I is the moment of inertia
m is the mass
r is the distance between the arbitrary point and the point mass
The center of mass of the system is located halfway between the 2 inner masses, therefore two masses lie ℓ/2 away from the center and the outer two masses lie 3ℓ/2 away from the center.
The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of the moments of each mass, i.e.
I = ∑mr²
The moment of inertia of each of the two inner masses is
I = m(ℓ/2)² = mℓ²/4
The moment of inertia of each of the two outer masses is
I = m(3ℓ/2)² = 9mℓ²/4
The total moment of inertia of the system is
I = 2[mℓ²/4]+2[9mℓ²/4]
I = mℓ²/2+9mℓ²/2
I = 10mℓ²/2
I = 5mℓ²
