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.

A 1500-kg car accelerates from 0 to 25 m/s in 7.0 s. What is the average power delivered by the engine? (1 hp = 746 W) A) 50 hp
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

power, P = 90 hp

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1500 kg

Initial velocity of car, u = 0

Final velocity of car, v = 25 m/s

Time taken, t = 7 s

We need to find the average power delivered by the engine. Work done divided by total time taken is called power delivered by the engine. It is given by :

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

According to work- energy theorem, the change in kinetic energy of the energy is equal to work done i.e.

W=\Delta E=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)}{t}

P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1500\ kg\times (25\ m/s)^2}{7\ s}

P = 66964.28 watts

Since, 1 hp = 746 W

So, P = 89.76 hp

or

P = 90 hp

So, the average power delivered by the engine is 90 hp. Hence, the correct option is (E) " 90 hp".

Salt Flats of Utah, had a mass of 4100 kg, and its engine
Andrej [43]

Answer:

<h2>16.59 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{68000}{4100}  =  \frac{680}{41}  \\  = 16.58536

We have the final answer as

<h3>16.59 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is the maximum mass of ethyl alcohol you could boil with 2000 j of heat, starting from 19 ∘c?
RSB [31]
The boiling point of ethanol is at 78.37°C. So, the energy must include sensible heat to raise 19°C to the boiling point and latent heat to change liquid to gas. The equation would be

Energy = Sensible heat + Latent heat
Energy = mCpΔT + mΔH

For ethanol, 
Cp = 46.068 + 102,460T - 139.63T² - 0.030341T³ + 0.0020386T⁴ J/kmol·K
ΔH = 38,560 J/mol

Integrate the Cp expression to determine CpΔT:

CpΔT = ∫₂₉₂³⁵²(46.068 + 102,460T - 139.63T² - 0.030341T³ + 0.0020386T⁴ )dT
The upper limit is (78.37+273) = 352 K, while the lower limit is (19 + 273) = 292.
CpΔT = 2384857192 J/kmol·K

2,000 J = m(2384857192 J/kmol)(1 kmol/1000 mol) + m(38,560 J/mol)
m = 8.253×10⁻⁴ moles of ethanol
Since the molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g/mol,
Mass = (8.253×10⁻⁴ mol)(46.07 g/mol)
Mass = 0.038 g ethanol
