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 happens to electric charges within a conductor when a charged object is brought close to it
Agata [3.3K]
Well, if a charger conductor is touched to another object or close enough to touching the object then the conductor can transfer its charge to that object. Conductors allow for electrons to be transported from particle to particle, so a charged object will always distribute its charge until the repulsive forces are minimized.

A ferry is travelling at 10 m/s relative to the river towards the south. The river is flowing at 2 m/s relative to
mixer [17]

Answer:

11 m/s south

Explanation:

The velocity of the passenger relative to the river bank is equal to the velocity of the passenger relative to the ferry, plus the velocity of the ferry relative to the river, plus the velocity of the river relative to the river bank.

v_passenger,bank = v_passenger,ferry + v_ferry,river + v_river,bank

If we take north to be positive and south to be negative:

v = 1.0 m/s + (-10 m/s) + (-2 m/s)

v = -11 m/s

v = 11 m/s south
