7 Calculate the weight of an apple of mass 100 grams
Leni [432]

Answer:

See the anwers below

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must understand that the weight of anyW = 0.1*10\\W = 1 [N]body is defined as the product of mass by gravitational acceleration. Gravitational acceleration depends on the place in space where a certain body is located.

W = m*g\\

where:

W = weight [N]

m = mass = 100 [g] = 0.1 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration [m/s²] or [N/kg]

<u>Now for the Earth</u>

<u />W =m*g\\W =0.1*10\\W = 1[N]<u />

<u>For the Moon</u>

<u />W = m*g\\W =0.1*1.6\\W = 0.16 [N]<u />

A 56 kg astronaut stands on a bathroom scale inside a rotating circular space station. The radius of the space station is 250 m.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The speed of space station floor is 49.49 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of astronaut = 56 kg

Radius = 250 m

We need to calculate the speed of space station floor

Using centripetal force and newton's second law

F=mg

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=mg

\dfrac{v^2}{r}=g

v=\sqrt{rg}

Where, v = speed of space station floor

r = radius

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{250\times9.8}

v=49.49\ m/s

Hence, The speed of space station floor is 49.49 m/s.

When throwing a baseball overhand, what should you avoid?
daser333 [38]

when throwing a baseball overhand the muscles you use are

deltoids.

triceps.

latissimus dorsi.

abdominal muscles.

hips.

glutes.

so you should stretch and make sure you dont pull or hurt these muscles but you dont have to throw overhand Pitching underhand wasn't a gimmick for Gheen, it was his preferred style. He was mentioned in newspapers across the country for his unorthodox technique. An MLB umpire confirmed pitching underhand is allowed. also a good exercise to work out your arm would be A baseball push-up is meant to increase the power of your arms and core, and to increase the coordination between the two. This exercise also promotes good posture because it forces you to flex the muscles of the core in order to keep the lower back from bending.

       and i'll leve you with a quick fact: Softball pitchers use an underhand motion that is not as stressful to the shoulder joint as the overhand pitch used in baseball. Softball pitchers can often pitch several games in one day, and often have an extended career of many years due to the lower stress levels on the shoulder joint.

  good luck on your throwing!!
