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 is the period of 60.0 hz electrical power?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

0.017 s

Explanation:

The period of a periodic signal is defined as the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}

where

T is the period

f is the frequency

For the electrical power, the frequency is

f = 60.0 Hz

Substituting into the previous equation, we find the period:

T=\frac{1}{60.0 Hz}=0.017 s

At this rate, what fraction of its mass would io lose in 4. 5 billion years?.
Pie

In 4.5 billion years, the amount of mass lost is 1.41912 * 10¹⁷ kg.

<h3>Equation</h3>

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Given that:

Io loses about a ton (1000 kilograms) of sulfur dioxide per second to Jupiter's magnetosphere.

In 4.5 billion years, amount of mass lost = 1000 kg/s * (4.5 * 10⁹ * 365 * 60 60 * 24) = 1.41912 * 10¹⁷ kg.

In 4.5 billion years, the amount of mass lost is 1.41912 * 10¹⁷ kg.

PHYSICS, WORTH 10 POINTS!
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Magnetic field lines can be drawn by moving a small compass from point to point around a magnet. At each point, draw a short line in the direction of the compass needle. Joining the points together reveals the path of the magnetic field lines.

A car is designed to get its energy from a rotating
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

(a). The kinetic energy stored in  the fly wheel is 46.88 MJ.

(b). The time is 1.163 hours.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 1.50 m

Mass = 475 kg

Power P= 15.0 hp = 15.0\times746=11190 watt

Rotational speed = 4000 rev/min

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

I=\dfrac{1}{2}mr^2

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{1}{2}\times475\times(1.50)^2

I=534.375\ kg m^2

(a). We need to calculate the kinetic energy stored in  the fly wheel

Using formula of K.E

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times534.375\times(4000\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60})^2

K.E=46880620.9\ J

K.E =46.88\times10^{6}\ J

K.E =46.88\ MJ

(b). We need to calculate the length of time the car could run before the flywheel  would have to be brought backup to speed

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{46.88\times10^{6}}{11190}

t=4189.45\ sec

t=1.163\ hours

Hence, (a). The kinetic energy stored in  the fly wheel is 46.88 MJ.

(b). The time is 1.163 hours.
