An astronaut in the International Space Station cannot stand on a weighing scale. But an astronaut inside a rotating space stati

The astronaut when positioned on a scale of an international space station that is static in rotational motion, and turning around the earth, will have no effect, since there is no external force acting on it. This is in perpetual free fall around the earth.

When an astronaut stands on a scale within a rotating space station, he will have the Rotational Centripetal Force acting on it, said Force, from the inside acting as 'Artificial Gravity' which will generate a given measurement on the scale.

When we kept the Earth's mass the same, but shrank its size, we saw that had an effect on its escape speed. Albert Einstein used
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

The escape velocity is the velocity needed by any object to overcome the gravitational force of the planet on which it’s present. Now we know that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the planet and inversely proportional to the distance of the object from the center of planet.

If we keep the mass of earth constant and decrease the size of the earth than this will decrease the distance between the object and the center of the earth and thus the gravitational force that will act on the body will increase substantially which will in turn increase the value of the escape velocity.

The value of escape velocity will keep on increasing as the size of the earth will shrink till it reaches to a point when the value of escape velocity becomes more than the speed of light and since it’s impossible to travel with a speed greater than the speed of light and therefore at this point it will become impossible for a spacecraft to escape the earth.

The electromagnetic wave that delivers a cellular phone callto
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

E=2.41\cdot 10^{-5} J

Explanation:

The intensity of an electromagnetic wave can be expressed in terms of the magnetic field using the next relationship:

I_{average}=\frac{cB_{0}^{2}}{2\mu_{0}} (1)

  • c is the speed of light (3*10⁸ m/s)
  • μ₀ is the permeability of free space (in vacuum ) (1.26*10⁻⁶ N/A²)
  • B₀ is the magnetic field

I_{average}=\frac{3\cdot 10^{8}(1.5\cdot 10^{-10})^{2}}{2\cdot 1.26\cdot 10^{-6}}

I_{average}=2.68\cdot 10^{-6} W/m^{2}

Now, let's define the relationship between power (P) and average intensity (I).

I_{average}=\frac{P}{A}

  • P is the power
  • A is the area crossed

So we can calculate the power.

P=I_{average}\cdot A=2.68\cdot 10^{-6}\cdot 0.20=5.37\cdot 10^{-7} W

Finally, energy is the product of P times time, so:

E=P\cdot t=5.37\cdot 10^{-7} \cdot 45=2.41\cdot 10^{-5} J

I hope it helps you!

Jessica jogs on a path that is 25 km long to get to the park that is south of the jogging path if it takes just a cut 2.5 hours
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

10km/h

Explanation:

25÷2.5=10

speed = distance/time

velocity is a magnitude and needs a direction which wasnt provided so its basically the same as the speed
