<h2>Answer: The astronauts are falling at the same rate as the space shuttle as it orbits around earth</h2>
The astronauts seem to float because they are in free fall just like the spacecraft.
However, although they are constantly falling on the Earth, they do not fall because the ship orbits at a sufficient speed (in the same direction of rotation of the Earth) so that the centrifugal force is balanced with the Earth's gravitational pull.
In other words:
The spaccraft and the astronauts are in free fall but the Earth's surface will never be reached as long as they does not decrease the speed.
Then, as they accelerate toward Earth (regardless of their mass), it curves beneath them and never comes close.
That's why astronauts, having the same acceleration as the spacecraft, feel weightless and see themselves floating.
Answer: 0.2m
Explanation: Firstly only the Rocket's Weight Compress the spring which can be found by
According to Hooks Law

Answer:
the range or the ball is 48.81 m
Explanation:
given;
Nicole throws a ball at 25 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees abound the horizontal.
find:
What is the range of the ball?
solution:
let Ф = 25°
Vo = 25 m/s
<u>consider x-motion using time of fight: x = Vox * t</u>
where x = R = range
t =<u> 2 Voy </u>
g
R =<u> Vo² sin (2Ф)</u>
g
plugin values into the formula:
R = <u>(25)² sin (2*25) </u>
9.81
R = 48.81 m
therefore, the range or the ball is 48.81 m
Answer:
c) 11.9 yr
Explanation:
The orbital period is proportional to r^(3/2) and does not depend on the satellite's mass. Any object at Jupiter position will have the same orbital period regardless of mass.
By keppler's law we know that
T^2= r^3
T= orbital time period
r= mean distance of the planet from the Sun.
clearly, The orbital period does not depend on the satellite's mass
there, the correct answer will be c= 11.9 yr.
Answer:
a) Acceleration of the car is given as
b) Acceleration of the truck is given as
Explanation:
As we know that there is no external force in the direction of motion of truck and car
So here we can say that the momentum of the system before and after collision must be conserved
So here we will have
now we have
a) For acceleration of car we know that it is rate of change in velocity of car
so we have
b) For acceleration of truck we will find the rate of change in velocity of the truck
so we have
