What is value of g in space

Physics
1 answer:
makvit [3.9K]4 years ago
4 0
The acceleration of gravity toward any object depends on its mass
and your distance from its center. 

In space, the size AND DIRECTION of 'g' depends on the masses
around you and your distance from the center of each one. 

If there's one object ... like a planet or a star ... that's bigger than
any others and closer to you than any others, then you can ignore
the others and just calculate the acceleration of 'g' toward that one
object that drowns out the others.

Example:

If you're in space only a few hundred miles from the surface of the
Earth, like maybe on board the International Space Station, then the
'g' on you is practically all due to the Earth and the sun, and you can
ignore the effects of gravity pulling you toward Jupiter, toward the Moon,
and toward the space station itself.

Earth’s atmosphere is in hydrostatic equilibrium. What this means is that the pressure at any point in the atmosphere must be hi
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: The pressure that one experiences on the Mount Everest will be different from the one, in a classroom. It is because pressure and height are inversely proportional to each other. This means that as we move up, the height keeps on increasing but the pressure will keep on decreasing. This is the case that will be observed when one stands on the Mount Everest as the pressure is comparatively much lower there.

It is because as we move up, the amount of air molecules keeps on decreasing but all of the air molecules are concentrated on the lower part of the atmosphere or on the earth's surface.

Thus a person in a low altitude inside a classroom will experience high pressure and a person standing on the Mount Everest will experience low pressure.

you have two pendulums with cords that are exactly the same length. one is on earth (with an acceleration due to gravity of 9.81
olga55 [171]
From  T = 2π√(l/g).

Since the lengths are the same, so that is a constant.

T α 1/√g

So the period T is inversely proportional to the square root of gravity g.

So the one with a bigger gravity g would have a shorter period

and

the one with smaller gravity g would have a longer period.

Therefore the period on the Moon with gravity of 1.63 m/s² would be longer period than that on the Earth with gravity of 9.81 m/s²

A barge of mass 5.00 ×104 kg is pulled along the Erie Canal by two mules, walking along towpaths parallel to the canal on either
boyakko [2]

Answer:  219,344.5 j

Explanation:

from the question we have the following parameters

mass of barge (m) = 5 x 10^4 kg

angle of ropes (θ) = 45 degrees

force by each mule (F1) = 1.10 kN = 1100 N

force by each mule (F2) = 1.10 kN = 1100 N

distance (s) = 141 m

work done by the mules = force x cos θ x distance

since we are calculating the force of both mules we have to both mules before we can use in the equation

force = 1100 + 1100 = 2200 N

work done =  2200 x cos (45) x 141

work done = 219,344.5 j

Electric discharge between two objects follows a predictable path?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer: YES

They always move towards the earth or any metallic conductor

Explanation:

Electric discharge between two objects follows a predictable path? YES

Static electricity is a buildup of electric charges on objects. Charges build up when negative electrons are transferred from one object to another. The object that gives up electrons becomes positively charged, and the object that accepts the electrons becomes negatively charged.

Once an object becomes electrically charged, it is likely to remain charged until it touches another object or at least comes very close to another object. That’s because electric charges cannot travel easily through air, especially if the air is dry.
