explain why astronauts around the earth either in spaceship, a space station, or on a spacewalk appear to be weightless but are

not actually weightless.​

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.

Children are sled riding on a hill One little girl pulls her sled back up the hill and does 379.5 joules of work while pulling i
Serggg [28]

Answer:

2.2N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Work done  = 379.5J

Height  = 173m

Unknown:

Amount of force exerted on the sled  = ?

Solution:

The amount of force she exerted on the sled is the same as her weight.

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a distance.

      Work done  = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

     mg  = weight;

        Work done  = weight x h

           379.5 = weight  x  173

           weight  = \frac{379.5}{173}   = 2.2N

Identrying the speed of the Cart
aleksklad [387]

The speed of the cart after 3 seconds of Low fan speed is equal to 54 cm/s.

<h3>How to calculate the speed?</h3>

Mathematically, speed can be calculated by using this formula;

Speed = distance/time

At Low fan speed after 3 seconds, the distance covered is 162 cm:

Speed = 162/3

Speed = 54 cm/s.

At Medium fan speed after 5 seconds, the distance covered is 600 cm:

Speed = 600/5

Speed = 120 cm/s.

At High fan speed after 2 seconds, the distance covered is 128 cm:

Speed = 128/2

Speed = 64 cm/s.

A circular coil of wire having a diameter of 20.0 cm and 3000 turns is placed in the earth's magnetic field with the normal of t
Bess [88]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Diameter of the coil, d = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Radius of the coil, r = 0.1 m

Number of turns, N = 3000

Induced EMF, \epsilon=1.5\ V

Magnitude of Earth's field, B=10^{-4}\ T

We need to find the angular frequency with which it is rotated. The induced emf due to rotation is given by :

\epsilon=NBA\omega

\omega=\dfrac{\epsilon}{NBA}

\omega=\dfrac{1.5}{3000\times 10^{-4}\times \pi (0.1)^2}

\omega=159.15\ rad/s

So, the angular frequency with which the loop is rotated is 159.15 rad/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

What controls the traits an organism has?
Charra [1.4K]

The Traits an organism displays are ultimately determined by the genes it inherited from its parents, in other words by its genotype. Variant copies of a gene are called alleles, and an individuals genotype is the sum of all the alleles inherited from the parents.
