The reason an astronaut in an earth satellite feels weightless is thatThe reason an astronaut in an earth satellite feels weight

less is thatthe astronaut is falling.the astronaut is at a point in space where the effects of the moon's gravity and the earth's gravity cancel.the astronaut's acceleration is zero.this is a psychological effect associated with rapid motion.the astronaut is beyond the range of the earth's gravity.

The reason an astronaut in an earth satellite feels weightless is that the astronaut is falling.

Option a

<u>Explanation: </u>

The other options except Option is not applicable since the gravitational force is a long range force, in which the satellite revolves very close to the surface of the Earth where the gravity is felt.The zero weight experienced by the astronaut in a satellite is due to the earth pulling along with satellite. Due to gravitational force of the Earth,the astronaut falls freely .

But why not the satellite comes down due to gravity when its launched in space. The fact is that the satellite is launched with velocity of tangent direction and it is very high. The centripetal force balances the gravity.

Starting from rest, a 5.00 kg steel sphere rolls down a frictionless ramp with a height of 4.00 m. What is the sphere's speed wh
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

8.85437 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of sphere = 5 kg

h = Vertical height = 4 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.80 m/s²

Applying conservation of energy we get

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh

\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}

\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 4}

\\\Rightarrow v=8.85437\ m/s

The sphere's speed when it reaches the bottom of the ramp is 8.85437 m/s

An L-R-C series circuit, R = 160 Ω , L = 0.790 H , and C = 1.30×10−2 μF . The source has a voltage amplitude of 140 V and a freq
wolverine [178]

Answer: a) 1 b) 61 W c) 61 W

Explanation:

a) The  Power Factor (also known as cos φ), is defined by the difference in phase between current and voltage, in a RLC series circuit, and is expressed as follows:

cos φ = R / Z = R / \sqrt{(R)^{2} + (Xl -Xc)^{2} }

In resonance, XL =XC, so the circuit behaves like it were purely resistive, so Z=R.

Replacing in the expression for power factor, we have:

cos φ = R/Z = R/R = 1

This means that in resonance, current and voltage are in phase each other.

b) The average power delivered by the source, in resonance, is simply the power dissipated at the resistance R, as follows:

Pavg = V² rms / R = V₀² / √2 / R = 61 W

c) If the circuit remains in resonance, the average power , which does not depends on frequency provided this condition remains, keeps the same, i.e. , 61 W.
