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.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Txomin lifted the stone with greater mass. (Txomin levantó la roca con mayor fuerza).

Explanation:

The sportsman that lifts the stone with a greater mass needs a higher force (El deportista que levanta la piedra con mayor masa necesita una mayor fuerza):

José

F = (200\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)

F = 1961.4\,N

Txomin

F = (220\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)

F = 2157.54\,N

Txomin lifted the stone with greater mass. (Txomin levantó la roca con mayor fuerza).

Two particles of equal mass m are at the vertices of the base of an equilateral triangle. The triangle’s center of mass is midwa
Helga [31]

Answer:Twice of given mass

Explanation:

Given

Two Particles of Equal mass placed at the base of an equilateral Triangle

let mass of two equal masses be m and third mass be m'

Taking one of the masses at origin

Therefore co-ordinates of first mass be (0,0)

Co-ordinates of other equal mass is (a,0)

if a is the length of triangle

co-ordinates of final mass (\frac{a}{2},\frac{\sqrt{3}a}{2})

Given its center of mass is at midway between base and third vertex therefore

x_{cm},y_{cm}=\frac{a}{2},\frac{\sqrt{3}a}{4}

y_{cm}=\frac{m_1y_1+m_2y_2+m_3y_3}{m_1+m_2+m_3}

\frac{\sqrt{3}a}{4}=\frac{m\cdot 0+m\cdot 0+m'\cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}a}{2}}{m+m+m'}

2m+m'=4\times (\frac{m'}{2})

2m+m'=2m'

m'=2m
