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.

abody starts from rest and accelerate uniformly at 8m/s/s.calculate the distance travelled by the body in 10s? ​
vagabundo [1.1K]

Explanation:

using the formula: S=ut+½gt², where u=0, S=?, g=8m/s², t=10seconds.

S=ut+½gt² ("ut" term will cancel because u=0).

=> S= ½gt²

=>S = ½×8×10²

=>S = 4×100

=>S = 400m .

Therefore, the distance traveled by the body in 10s is 400m.

hope this helps you.

Ben hit a 0.25kg nail into a wood with a 5.2kg hammer. If the hammer moves witht the speed of 52 m/s and two fifth of its kineti
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of nails is 0.25kg

Mass of hammer 5.2kg

Speed of hammer is =52m/s

Then, Ben kinetic energy is given as

K.E= ½mv²

K.E= ½×5.2×52²

K.E= 7030.4J

Given that, two-fifth of kinetic energy is converted to internal energy

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × K.E

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × 7030.4

I.E=2812.16J.

Energy increase is total Kinetic energy - the internal energy

∆Et= K.E-I.E

∆Et= 7030.4 - 2812.16

∆Et= 4218.24J

A 60kg student traveling in a 1000kg car with a constant velocity has a kinetic energy of 1.2 x 10^4 J. What is the speedometer
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

17.64 km/h

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1000 kg

Kinetic energy of car, K = 1.2 x 10^4 J

Let the speed of car is v.

Use the formula for kinetic energy.

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

By substituting the values

1.2\times 10^{4} = \frac{1}{2}\times 1000\times v^{2}

v = 4.9 m/s

Now convert metre per second into km / h

We know that

1 km = 1000 m

1 h = 3600 second

So, v = \left (\frac{4.9}{1000}   \right )\times \left ( \frac{3600}{1} \right )

v = 17.64 km/h

Thus, the reading of speedometer is 17.64 km/h.
