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>

SORRY LAST ONE FOR TODAY, IM GOING TO PASS IF I GET THIS ANSWERED

Answer:

<u>According </u><u>to</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>Given</u><u> Statement</u><u> </u>

Canon fires directly upwarda at 150m/s ( Initial speed, u )

Acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s²

Since Cannon ball reach it maximum height so its final velocity v will be 0 m/s .

Using Kinematic Equation

  • v = u + gt

On substituting the value we get

➥ 0 = 150 + 10 × t

➥ 150 = 10 × t

➥ 150/10 = t

➥ 15 s = t

So, it will take 15 seconds .

A boy drops a stone from a cliff , which reaches the ground in 20 seconds. Calculate the height of the cliff.
Eva8 [605]
More suvat equations here, this time s=ut+1/2at^2 where s is the displacement, t is the time, and a is the acceleration.

So s=0*20+1/2*9.81*20^2
simplified: s=1/2*9.81*(20)^2
s=1962
The height of the cliff is 1962m

Explain the different types of motion of a sewing machine​
Sladkaya [172]
I got the same answer as above. So she is correct.

Answer

Thus, the earth has three types of motion at the same time i.e. circular motion, periodic motion and rotational motion. ... So, the wheel of a sewing machine shows rotational motion. The sewing machine has also a needle which moves up and down continuously (as log as the wheel rotates).

Sorry if you get this wrong but I believe it’s C because without inertia.. particles will fall apart because inertia keeps everything together in the same motion
