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.

a machine has an efficiency of 70 percent, how much work does the machine do when 20000 j of work is done on it a. 14000 b. 2060
Vlad [161]

Answer:

a. 14000

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Efficiency of the machine  = 70%

Work done on machine  = 20000J

Unknown:

Work done by machine = ?

Solution:

 Efficiency of a machine is determined by;

  Efficiency  = \frac{Work done by machine}{Work done on machine}  x 100  

   70  = \frac{Work done by machine}{20000} x 100

   

   70  = \frac{work done by machine}{200}  

 Work done by machine  = 70 x 200 = 14000J

A Chevy Camaro drives straight off the top level off a parking garage at 13 m/s. If the car landed 90 meters away from the base
scoray [572]

Answer:

234.64 m

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating range;

Range R = u√2H/g

u is the speed = 13m/s

H is the maximum height

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9,8m/s²

R = 90m

Get the maximum height;

90 = 13√2H/9.8

90/13 = √2H/9.8

6.923 = √2H/9.8

square both sides

6.923² = 2H/9.8

469.698 = 2H

H = 469.698/2

H = 234.64

Hence the top level was 234.64 m high.
