Why does an astronaut in a spacecraft orbiting Earthexperience a feeling of weightlessness?

Physics
1 answer:
slava [35]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Astronaut in spacecraft while orbiting earth experience weightlessness because there is no gravity of earth or moon is acting on the body of an astronaut.                      

while on earth, we experience weight because the gravity of earth is acting on our body which is pulling us downward.

Both spacecraft and the astronauts both are in a free-fall condition.

1. Una bola de 0.510 kg de masa se mueve al este (dirección +x) con una rapidez de 4.80 m/s y choca frontalmente con una bola de
Grace [21]

Responder:

3,37 m / s, + ve x - dirección

Explicación:

Utilizando la ley de conservación de la cantidad de movimiento expresada por la fórmula;

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2) v

m1 y m2 son las masas de los objetos

u1 y u2 son sus velocidades iniciales

v es su velocidad común

Dado

m1 = 0,519 kg

u1 = 4,80 m / s

m2 = 0,220 kg

u2 = 0 m / s (cuerpo en reposo)

Necesario

Velocidad común v

Sustituir en la fórmula los valores dados;

0,519 (4,8) + 0,22 (0) = (0,519 + 0,220) v

2,4912 + 0 = 0,739 v

2,4912 = 0,739v

Dividir ambos lados por 0,739

2,4912 / 0,739 = 0,739 / 0,739

<em>v = 3,37 m / s </em>

<em>Por lo tanto, la rapidez de ambas bolas después de la colisión es de 3.37 m.s hacia la dirección x positiva, ya que m1> m2 y la velocidad común es positiva.</em>

Suppose you wish to construct a motor that produces a maximum torque whose magnitude is 1.7 × 10-2 N·m. The coil of the motor ha
Len [333]

Answer:

86 turns

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Magnetic torque, τ = 1.7 * 10^(-2) Nm

Area of coil, A = 9 * 10^(-4) m²

Current in coil, I = 1.1 A

Magnetic field, B = 0.2 T

The magnetic toque is given mathematically as:

τ = N * I * A * B

Where N = number of turns

To find the number of turns, we make N subject of formula:

N = τ/(I * A * B)

Therefore:

N = (1.7 * 10^(-2)) / (1.1 * 9 * 10^(-4) * 0.2)

N = 85.85 = 86 turns (whole number)

The number of turns must be 86.

The minimum stopping distance of a car moving at 20.5 mi/h is 11.6 m. Under the same conditions (so that the maximum braking for
pshichka [43]

Answer:

d = 69 .57 meter

Explanation:

First case

Speed of car ( v )  = 20.5 mi/h  = 9.164  M/S

distance ( d ) = 11.6 meter                                       ( m = mass of the car )

Work done = 0.5 m v²  = 0.5 * 9.164² * m J  = 41.99 m J

Force = ( workdone /distance ) = ( 41.99 m / 11.6 )   =  3.619 m N

Second case

v = 50.2 mi/h = 22.44135 m/s

d = ?

Work done = 0.5 * 22.44² * m J = 251.7768 * m J

Since the braking force remains the same .

3.619 m = ( 251.7768 m / d )

d = 69 .57 meter
