Why to astronauts appear weightless while they are filmed performing activities inside the orbiting space shuttle?

vagabundo [1.1K]

<h2>Answer: The astronauts are falling at the same rate as the space shuttle as it orbits around earth</h2>

The astronauts seem to float because they are in free fall just like the spacecraft.

However, although they are constantly falling on the Earth, they do not fall because the ship orbits at a sufficient speed (in the same direction of rotation of the Earth) so that the centrifugal force is balanced with the Earth's gravitational pull.

In other words:

The spaccraft and the astronauts are in free fall but the Earth's surface will never be reached as long as they does not decrease the speed.

Then, as they accelerate toward Earth (regardless of their mass), it curves beneath them and never comes close.

That's why astronauts, having the same acceleration as the spacecraft, feel weightless and see themselves floating.

The 0.15kg baseball has a speed of v=30 m/s just before it is struck by the bat. It then travels along the trajectory shown befo

notka56 [123]

The magnitude of the average impulsive force imparted to the ball if it is in contact with the bat is 6000 N

The mass of the baseball, m = 0.15 kg

The speed at which it moves, v = 30 m/s

Time at which the baseball was in contact with the bat, t = 0.75 ms

t = 0.75/1000 s

t = 0.00075 s

The impulsive force is given by the formula:

$F=\frac{mv}{t}$

Substitute m = 0.15 kg, v = 30, and t = 0.00075s into the formula above:

$F=\frac{0.15 \times 30}{0.00075} \\\\F=6000N$

The magnitude of the average impulsive force imparted to the ball if it is in contact with the bat is 6000 N

A 3 kg mass object is pushed 0.6 m into a spring with spring constant 210 N/m on a frictionless horizontal surface. Upon release

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of spring,m=3 kg

Distance moved by object,d=0.6 m

Spring constant,k=210N/m

Height,h=1.5 m

a.Work done to compress the spring initially= $\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(210)(0.6)^2=37.8J$

b.

By conservation law of energy

Initial energy of spring=Kinetic energy of object

$37.8=\frac{1}{2}(3)v^2$

$v^2=\frac{37.8\times 2}{3}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{37.8\times 2}{3}}$

v=5.02 m/s

c.Work done by friction on the incline, $w_{friction}=P.E-spring \;energy$

$W_{friction}=3\times 9.8\times 1.5-37.8=6.3 J$
