If there is gravity where the International Space Station (ISS) is located above Earth, why doesn’t the space station get pulled

back down to Earth?

nasty-shy [4]3 years ago

Answer:

Yes. Gravity is 90% of what it is on the earth's surface. ISS moves at such high speeds that the curve of its fall will always match  the curve of the earth and so will never hit the earth.

Explanation:

The location of the International Space Station (ISS) is at an altitude of about 200 or 250 miles above the earth's surface. Since gravity decreases with altitude, it is less at that height. Gravity is still present there. Since the ISS is in orbit around the earth, the condition is of free fall. Result of this free fall is apparent weightlessness. The high speed of the ISS allows it to orbit around in such a way that the gravitational pull of the earth is equal to the centripetal force experienced by the ISS in its orbit.

The conditions which make it remain in space are similar to how the moon stays in the orbit around the earth. Moon is also in free fall but it never falls down to earth.

During a very quick stop, a car decelerates at 7.6 m/s2. Assume the forward motion of the car corresponds to a positive directio
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

24.57 revolutions

Explanation:

(a) If they do not slip on the pavement, then the angular acceleration is

\alpha = a / r = 7.6 / 0.26 = 29.23 rad/s^2

(b) We can use the following equation of motion to find out the angle traveled by the wheel before coming to rest:

\omega^2 - \omega_0^2 = 2\alpha\Delta \theta

where v = 0 m/s is the final angular velocity of the wheel when it stops, \omega_0 = 95rad/s is the initial angular velocity of the wheel, \alpha = -29.23 rad/s^2 is the deceleration of the wheel, and \Delta \theta is the angle swept in rad, which we care looking for:

0 - 95^2 = 2*29.23\Delta \theta

9025 = 58.46 \Delta \theta

\Delta \theta = 9025 / 58.46 = 154.375 rad

As each revolution equals to 2π, the total revolution it makes before stop is

154.375 / 2π = 24.57 revolutions
