Wha happens to the weight of astronauts when they are in orbit

That depends on the size of the orbit.

In "low Earth orbit", like the Mercury, Gemini, early Apollo flights, and aboard the ISS, the astronauts' weight is about 85% of their weight when they're standing on the Earth's surface.

BUT ... since everything in orbit is in "free fall", they don't <em>feel </em>the weight of their own body or anything else. The feeling is like being completely without any weight.

Microgravity. It is sometimes called zero- gravity, but this is wrong. What happens is they go into free fall. On earth, gravity causes all things to fall, it can essentially be called a 'vacuum' if you will. So, I'm not to sure about it, but that's kind of what happens.

What is the momentum of a 200 kg truck travelling at 20 m/s?

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

p = 4000 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a truck, m = 200 kg

Speed of the truck, v = 20 m/s

We need to find the momentum of the truck. The formula for momentum is given by :

p = mv

so,

$p=200\times 20\\\\p=4000\ kg-m/s$

So, the momentum of the truck is equal to 4000 kg-m/s.

A square piece of tin has 12 inches on a side. An open box is formed by cutting out equal square pieces at the corners and bendi

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a square Piece whose side is 12 inches

Now square pieces are cut from each corner to make it a open box

Suppose x is the length of square piece at each corner

then

base square has a length of $12-2x$

Dimension of new box is $(12-2x)\times (12-2x)\times x$

Volume $V=(12-2x)\times (12-2x)\times x$

$V=\left ( 12-2x\right )^2\cdot x$

For maximum volume differentiate with respect to x we get

$\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{d} V}{\mathrm{d} x}=2\times \left ( 12-2x\right )\times \left ( -2\right )\cdot x+\left ( 12-2x\right )^2=0$

we get x=6 and 4 but at x=6 volume becomes zero therefore x=4 is valid

$V=\left ( 12-2\cdot 4\right )^2\cdot 4$

$V=4^3$

$V=64\ in.^3$

Define 1 pascal pressure

Rasek [7]

Answer:For example, standard atmospheric pressure (or 1 atm) is defined as 101.325 kPa. The millibar, a unit of air pressure often used in meteorology, is equal to 100 Pa. (For comparison, one pound per square inch equals 6.895 kPa.)

Explanation:A pascal is a pressure of one newton per square metre, or, in SI base units, one kilogram per metre per second squared.

I hope this helps.... I'm sorry if it doesn't
