Why do astronauts float aboard the international space station?

Physics
1 answer:
lianna [129]3 years ago

They’re falling toward earth & moving forward at about the same velocity. because the downward and forward forces are nearly equal, the astronauts are not pulled in any specific direction, so they float . <span>

Suppose Tom Harmon17 is standing at the exact center of the Ohio State football field18 on the 50 yard line. The field is 300 fe
nignag [31]

Answer:

a) x = 40 t , y = 39 t ,  z = 6 + 32 t - 16 t ²,   b)     x = 80 feet ,  y = 78 feet , the ball came into the field  

Explanation:

a) This is a projectile launch exercise, where in the x and y axes there is no acceleration and in the z axis the acceleration of the acceleration of gravity, let's write the equations of motion in each axis

Since the cast is in the center of the field, let's place the coordinate system

          x₀ = 0

          y₀ = 0

          z₀ = 6 feet

x-axis (towards end zone,  GOAL zone)

         x = xo + v₀ₓ t

        x = 40 t

y-axis (field width)

        y = y₀ + v_{oy} t

        y = 39 t

z axis (vertical)

        z = z₀ + v_{oz} t - ½ g t²

        z = 6 + 32 t - ½ 32 t²

        z = 6 + 32 t - 16 t ²

b) The player catches the ball at the same height as it came out, so we can find the time it takes to arrive

          z = 6

          6 = 6 + 32 t - 16 t²

          (t - 2)t  = 0

           t=0 s

           t= 2 s

The ball position

          x = 40 2

          x = 80 feet

           

          y = 39 2

          y = 78 feet

the dimensions of the field from the coordinate system (center of the field) are

             x_total = 150 feet

             y _total = 80 feet

so we can see that the ball came into the field

How might you describe the mathematical procedure of finding the displacement when an object travels in two opposite directions?
levacccp [35]
Displacement is a vector quantity. So, you incorporate the vector calculations when you try to determine the resultant vector. This is the shortest path from the starting point to the endpoint. If they are moving on one axis only, you use sign conventions. For motions moving to the left, use the negative sign. If it's moving to the right, then use the positive sign. Now, it the object moves 2 km to the left, and 2 km also to the right, the displacement is zero.

Displacement = 2 km - 2km = 0

Generally, the equation is:
<span>Displacement = Distance of motion to the right - Distance of motion to the left</span>

Mass and Weight: What is the mass of an object that experiences a gravitational force of 685 N near Earth's surface where g
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

m = 69.9 kg

Explanation:

The mass and the weight of an object are two different quantities. Mass is basically the amount of matter that is present in a body. It remains same everywhere in the universe and measured in kilograms.

Weight is basically a force. It is the force by which earth attracts everything towards itself. The weight of an object changes from planet to planet, with the change in value of the gravitational acceleration (g).

Therefore, the relation between mass and weight of an object is given by the following formula:

W = mg

m = W/g

where,

m = mass = ?

W = Weight = 685 N

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

m = (685 N)/(9.8 m/s²)

<u>m = 69.9 kg</u>

Summerize how friction and inertia act on an object sliding on a flat surface
natta225 [31]
Inertia is when a object in motion will stay in motion or in a standing still state unless acted upon by a unbalancing force.
Friction is when a object slows down because it is rubbing against another object.

If a object is sliding across a surface, theoretically, it would not stop but because it is on a flat surface it would experience friction, this will disperse some of the kinetic energy that it has thus slowing the object down eventually, after some time, to a stop.

Hope this helps! :)
