Answer:

Zero gravity

Explanation:

Astronauts around the earth either in spaceship, a space station or on a space walk appear to be weightless because of the zero gravity in such environment.

Weight is a function of the mass and acceleration due to gravity a body has.

   Weight  = mass  x  acceleration due to gravity

In a place where acceleration due to gravity is 0, the weight would be zero and a person would appear to be weightless.

Schach [20]

Complete Question

Suppose a NASCAR race car rounds one end of the Martinsville Speedway. This end of the track is a turn with a radius of approximately 57.0 m . If the track is completely flat and the race car is traveling at a constant 30.5 m/s (about 68 mph ) around the turn.

Required:

a. What is the race car's centripetal (radial) acceleration?

b. What is the force responsible for the centripetal acceleration in this case?

O normal

O gravity

O friction

O weight

Answer:

question a

       a = 16.32 \  m/s^2

question b

        correct option is option 3

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The radius is  r = 57.0 \ m \

    The constant speed at which the race car is travelling is v  = 30 .5 \ m/s

Generally from the question we are told that the track is completely flat so the only force pulling the car to the middle is the frictional force hence the centripetal force is due to the frictional force

    Generally the centripetal acceleration is mathematically represented as

      a = \frac{v^2}{r}

=>    a = \frac{30.5^2}{ 57}

=>    a = 16.32 \  m/s^2

Two identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart, and each one initially experiences an electrostatic force of m
monitta

Answer:

1/4F

Explanation:

We already know thatThe electrostatic force is directly proportional to the product of the charge, from Coulomb's law.

So F α Qq

But if it is now half the initial charges, then

F α (1/2)Q *(1/2)q

F α (1/4)Qq

Thus the resultant charges are each halved is (1/4) and the first initial force experienced at full charge.

Thus the answer will be 1/4F

A copper wire has a radius of 3.5 mm. When forces of a certain equal magnitude but opposite directions are applied to the ends o
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The tensile stress on the wire is 550 MPa.

Explanation:

Given;

Radius of copper wire, R = 3.5 mm

extension of the copper wire, e =  5.0×10⁻³ L

L is the original length of the copper wire,

Young's modulus for copper, Y =  11×10¹⁰Pa.

Young's modulus, Y is given as the ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain, measured in the same unit as Young's modulus.

Y =\frac{Tensile \ stress}{Tensile \ strain} \\\\Tensile \ stress = Y*Tensile \ strain\\\\But, Tensile \ strain = \frac{extension}{original \ Length} = \frac{5.0*10^{-3} L}{L} = 5.0*10^{-3}\\\\Tensile \ stress = 11*10^{10} *5.0*10^{-3} \ = 550*10^6 \ Pa

Therefore, the tensile stress on the wire is 550 MPa.

75kg man climbs a mountain 1000m high in 3hrs and uses 4100 joulse/min. (a) calculate the power consumption in watt, (b) what is
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Power consumption is 4100 J/min / 60 s/min = 68.3 W(atts)

work done raised the potential energy

b) 75(9.8)(1000) / (3(3600)) = 68.055555... 68.1 W

c) efficiency is 68.1 / 68.3 = 0.99593... or nearly 100%

Not a very likely scenario.
