Which of the choices describes an action–reaction force pair for a space station containing astronauts in orbit about the earth?

Physics
1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

(D) The weight of the space station and the gravitational force of the space station on the earth.

Explanation:

In both A and B , both the forces act in the same direction ( downwards ) , so they can not be action- reaction force .

In the option C , weight of a astronaut can only be reaction force of gravitational force exerted on the earth by astronaut. Both astronaut and the earth pull each other with equal and opposite force.  So option D is correct.

Hull (1943) had rats push a lever that required 21 grams of force to budge. After they had learned to push the lever in order to
Zina [86]

Years of research have demonstrated that rats are intelligent creatures who experience pain and pleasure, care about one another, are able to read the emotions of others, and would assist other rats, even at their own expense.

<h3>Experiments:</h3>

In trials carried out at Brown University in the 1950s, rats were trained to press a lever for food, but they stopped pressing the lever when they noticed that with each press, a rat in an adjacent cage would scream in pain (after experiencing an electric shock).

Rats were trained to press a lever to lower a block that was hanging from a hoist by electric shocks administered by experimenters. A rat was subsequently hoisted into a harness by the experimenters, and according to their notes, "This animal normally shrieked and wriggled sufficiently while dangling, and if it did not, it was jabbed with a sharp pencil until it exhibited indications of discomfort." Even if it wasn't in danger of receiving a shock, a rat watching the scenario from the floor would pull a lever to lower the hapless rodent to safety.

While a roofer is working on a roof that slants at 39.0 degrees above the horizontal, he accidentally nudges his 88.0 N toolbox,
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

V= 6.974 m/s

Explanation:

Component( box) weight acting parallel and down roof 88(sin39.0°)=55.4 N

Force of kinetic friction acting parallel and up roof = 18.0 N

Fnet force acting on tool box acting parallel and down roof

Fnet= 55.4 - 18.0

Fnet=37.4 N

acceleration of tool box down roof

a = 37.4(9.81)/88.0

a= 4.169 m/s²

d = 4.90 m

t = √2d/a

t= √2(4.90)/4.169

t= 1.662 s

V = at

V= 4.169(1.662)

V= 6.974 m/s

A thin uniform rod (length = 1.2 m, mass = 2.0 kg) is pivoted about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end of the rod. (
Anika [276]

Answer:

a=9.8 rad/s^{2}

Explanation:

Torque, \tau is given by

\tau=Fr where F is force and r is perpendicular distance

R=0.5Lcos\theta where \theta is the angle of inclination

Torque, \tau can also be found by

\tau=Ia where I is moment of inertia and a is angular acceleration

Therefore, Fr=Ia and F=mg where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

Making a the subject, a=\frac {Fr}{I}=\frac {mgr}{I} and already I is given as  

I=\frac {mL^{2}}{3} and r is 0.5Lcos\theta hence  

a=\frac {0.5mgLcos\theta}{1/3 mL^{2}}

a=\frac {3gcos\theta}{2L}

Taking g as 9.81, \theta is given as 37 and L is 1.2

a=\frac {3*9.81cos37}{2*1.2}=9.7932679419

a=9.8 rad/s^{2}

9. Since current is the rate at which charge is flowing, if the current in the circuit decreases, what does that mean about the
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Electric current is defined as the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit from point one point to another. This is carried by electrically charged particles within the circuit. Current is represented by the symbol I and its unit measured in Amperes. It is therefore related to the voltage and resistance of the circuit. If the current in the circuit reduces, the rate at which the charge and current on the capacitor reduces also proportionally in an exponential manner.

Explanation:

Since a decrease in the flow of current in the circuit is observed, the implication for the rate at which the charge and voltage on the capacitor is also an exponential decrease in the rate of flow with time. This is because the electric current is directly proportional to the electric charge and the time.

The crankshaft in a race car goes from rest to 3000 rpm in 3.0 s . (a) What is the crankshaft's angular acceleration?
Talja [164]

Answer:

75 rotations

Explanation:

f0 = 0, f = 3000 rpm = 50 rps, t = 3 s

(a) use first equation of motion for rotational motion

w = w0 + α t

2 x 3.14 x 50 = 0 + α x 3

α = 104.67 rad/s^2

(b) Let θ be the angular displacement

use second equation of motion for rotational motion

θ = w0 t + 1/2 α t^2

θ = 0 + 0.5 x 104.67 x 3 x 3

θ = 471.015 rad

The angle turn in one rotation is 2 π radian.

Number of rotation = 471.015 / (2 x 3.14) = 75 rotations
