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.

Rocks A and B are located at the same height on top of a hill. The mass of rock A is twice the mass of rock B. How does the pote
Ronch [10]

Potential energy is defined by formula

U = mgh

here

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Now here two different stones are located at same height

while mass of stone A is twice that of stone B

so here we can say potential energy of A is

U_a = (2m)gh

Similarly potential energy of B is

U_b = mgh

now if we take the ratio of two energy

\frac{U_a}{U_b} = 2

so we can say potential energy of stone A is two times the potential energy of B

A football kick returner catches the ball just as a player from the opposing team dives to tackle him. At the time of impact, th
pochemuha

The total momentum of the players after collision is 130 kgm/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Initial momentum of the returner, </em>P_i_1<em> = 0 kgm/s</em>
  • <em>The initial momentum of the diving player, </em>P_i_2<em> = 130 kgm/s</em>

The total momentum of the players after collision is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

P_f = P_i_1 + P_i_2\\\\P_f = 0 + 130\\\\P_f = 130 \ kgm/s

Thus, the total momentum of the players after collision is 130 kgm/s.

Why are renewable energy resources going to be important in our future
marshall27 [118]
Renewable resources are going to be important in our future because if we use up all of our NON-renewable resources now, then we’ll still have the renewable resources to depend on.
I hope this helped! :-)

Which statement about the volume and pressure of a gas is the most accurate? Volume of a gas is equal to pressure of that gas in
Julli [10]

Answer: Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure of that gas in any container.

Explanation:

Hi, according to Boyle's Gas law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of that gas, at a constant temperature.

The expression is:

P1.V1= P2.V2

V= 1/P

PV = k  

Where:

P = pressure of a gas

V = volume of a gas

k = constant

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
