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

Physics
1 answer:
slava [35]4 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.

skater spins over a point at a speed of 3.0 rotations per second then the momentum of inertia is 0.60 kg.M2, what is its angular
laiz [17]

Answer:

L=11.3\ kg-m^2/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular speed of a skater, \omega=3\ rot/s=18.84\ rad/s

The moment of inertia of the skater, I = 0.6 kg-m²

We need to find the angular momentum of the skater. The formula for the angular momentum of the skater is given by :

L=I\omega

Substitute all the values,

L=0.6\times 18.84\\\\L=11.3\ kg-m^2/s

So, its angular momentum is equal to 11.3\ kg-m^2/s.

A gas has an initial volume of 2.5 L at a temperature of 275 K and a pressure of 2.1 atm. The pressure of the gas increases to 2
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

2.10L

Explanation:

Given data

V1= 2.5L

T1= 275K

P1= 2.1atm

P2= 2.7 atm

T2= 298K

V2= ???

Let us apply the gas equation

P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2

substitute into the expression we have

2.1*2.5/275= 2.7*V2/298

5.25/275= 2.7*V2/298

Cross multiply

275*2.7V2= 298*5.25

742.5V2= 1564.5

V2= 1564.5/742.5

V2= 2.10L

Hence the final volume is 2.10L
