Answer:

A. It makes astronauts weightless.

Explanation:

Gravity does not make astronauts feel weightless. Astronauts are weightless because they are orbiting at the same rate as their shuttle.

Although the force of gravity weakens as one moves away from the earth surface, it does not mean that this force is absent in orbit

Gravitational force has a constant acceleration value near the earth surface which is commonly known to be 9.8m/s².
It is a force of attraction tending to hold and bind bodies together so far they have mass.
This force keeps every thing from escaping space-ward from the earth surface.

A cube has a drag coefficient of 0.8. What would be the terminal velocity of a sugar cube 1 cm on a side in air ( = 1.2 kg/mº)?

anzhelika [568]

0.495 m/s

Explanation

the formula for the terminal velocity is given by:

$\begin{gathered} v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2mg}{\sigma AC}} \\ \text{where} \\ \end{gathered}$

m is the mass

g is 9.81 m/s²

ρ is density

A is area

C is the drag coefficient

then

Step 1

Let's find the mass

$\begin{gathered} \sigma=\frac{m}{v} \\ m=\sigma\cdot v \\ \text{mass}=(2\cdot10^3\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^3})\cdot(0.01m)^3 \\ \text{mass}=(2\cdot10^3\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^3})\cdot(1\cdot10^{-6}) \\ \text{mass}=2\cdot10^{-3}\operatorname{kg} \\ \text{mass}=0.002\text{ kg } \\ \text{Area}=(0.01\text{ m}\cdot0.01m)=0.0001m^2 \end{gathered}$

now, replace

$\begin{gathered} v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2mg}{\sigma AC}} \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2(0.002kg)(9.81\text{ }\frac{m}{s^2})}{(2\cdot10^3\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^3})(0.0001m^2)0.8}} \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.03924\frac{\operatorname{kg}m}{s^2}}{0.16\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^{}}}} \\ v=\sqrt[]{0.2452\frac{m^2}{s^2}} \\ v=0.495\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

hence, the answer is 0.495 m/s

What was the runoff from precipitation on the property for areas with vegetation and roofed or paved areas over the past four mo

puteri [66]

Answer:

Higher percentage of runoff water is absorbed by the vegetation whereas 100 % of water runoff on the roofed area.

Explanation:

Higher percentage of runoff water is absorbed by the vegetation and very little amount of runoff water is received on the end of vegetative cover while on the other hand, 100 percent of precipitation water runoff on the surface of roofed or paved area because no water is absorbed by the roof due to its solid surface. The percentage of runoff depends on the factors such as rainfall intensity, slope, soil water storage capacity, and infiltration rate.
