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

Physics

Lynna [10]3 years ago

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.

Answer:

Si un objeto se mueve en relación a un marco de referencia (por ejemplo, si una profesora se mueve a la derecha con respecto al pizarrón, o un pasajero se mueve hacia la parte trasera de un avión), entonces la posición del objeto cambia. A este cambio en la posición se le conoce como desplazamiento. La palabra desplazamiento implica que un objeto se movió, o se desplazó.

Explanation:

El desplazamiento se define como el cambio en la posición de un objeto. Se puede definir de manera matemática con la siguiente ecuación:

\text{desplazamiento}=\Delta x=x_f-x_0desplazamiento=Δx=x  

f

​  

−x  

0

​

x_fx  

f

​  

x, start subscript, f, end subscript se refiere al valor de la posición final.

x_0x  

0

​  

x, start subscript, 0, end subscript se refiere al valor de la posición inicial.

\Delta xΔxdelta, x es el símbolo que se usa para representar el desplazamiento.

Debemos ser cuidados al usar la palabra distancia, ya que hay dos maneras de usar el término en física. Podemos hablar acerca de la distancia entre dos puntos, o podemos hablar de la distancia recorrida por un objeto.

La distancia se define como la magnitud o el tamaño del desplazamiento entre dos posiciones. Observa que la distancia entre dos posiciones no es la misma que la distancia recorrida entre ellas.

Es importante darse cuenta que la distancia recorrida no tiene que ser igual a la magnitud del desplazamiento (es decir, la distancia entre dos puntos). De manera específica, si un objeto cambia de dirección en su trayecto, la distancia total recorrida será mayor que la magnitud del desplazamiento entre esos dos puntos. Ve los ejemplos resueltos a continuación.
