Why do astronauts float aboard the international space station?

Physics

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>

What force is required to accelerate a 1840 kg car from 4.77 m/s to 23.5 m/s,
neonofarm [45]
A :-) for this question , we should apply
a = v - u by t
Given - u = 4.77 m/s
v = 23.5 m/s
t = 5.18 m/s
Solution -
a = v - u by t
a = 23.5 - 4.77
a = 28.27 m/s^2

.:. The acceleration is 28.27 m/s^2

how does the composition of a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen differ of hydrogen and oxygen differ from the composition of a comp
mafiozo [28]
In a mixture, there will be a solute and solvent. The hydrogen and oxygen are still two different atoms that just mixed together. But in a compound, the hydrogen and oxygen have a bond, making a new and bigger molecule. A mixture can easily be separated by physical means but a compound isn't.

h(t) = - 16t2 + 64t + 112 where t is the time in seconds. After how many seconds does the arrow reach it maximum height? Round t
laila [671]

Answer:

2 seconds

Explanation:

The function of height is given in form of time. For maximum height, we need to use the concept of maxima and minima of differentiation.

h(t)=-16t^{2}+64t+112

Differentiate with respect to t on both the sides, we get

\frac{dh}{dt}=-32t+64

For maxima and minima, put the value of dh / dt is equal to zero. we get

- 32 t + 64 = 0

t = 2 second

Thus, the arrow reaches at maximum height after 2 seconds.

The coefficient of kinetic friction between a suitcase and the floor is 0.272. You may want to review (Pages 196 - 203) . Part A
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The work required to push will be equal to work done by friction . Let  d be the displacement required .

force of friction = mg x μ where m is mass of the suitcase , μ be the coefficient of friction

work done by force of friction

mg x μ x d   = 660

80 x 9.8 x .272 x d = 660

d = 3 .1 m .
