weightlessness is the complete or near complete absense of the sensation of weight.

when in freefall,the only force acting upon your body is the force of gravity a noun contact force.since the gravity cannot be felt without any other opposing forces,you would have no sensation of it.you would feel weightless when in a state of freefall.

Suppose the mass of a fully loaded module in which astronauts take off from the Moon is 12,900 kg. The thrust of its engines is

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Acceleration a=0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=12,900 kg=1.29×10⁴kg

Thrust of engine F=28,000 N=2.8×10⁴N

gravitational acceleration g=1.67 m/s²

To find

Acceleration

Solution

As we know that

$W_{weigth}=mg\\ W=(1.29*10^{4}kg )(1.67m/s^{2} )\\W=21543N$

The net force can be given as

$F_{net}=F_{thrust}-W\\F_{net}=(2.8*10^{4}-21543)N\\ F_{net}=6457 N$

From Newtons second law of motion we know that

$F=ma\\a=F/m\\a=\frac{6457N}{12,900kg}\\ a=0.5m/s^{2}$

A child's top is held in place upright on a frictionless surface. The axle has a radius of ????=3.21 mm . Two strings are wrappe

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Angular momentum, $L=6.47\times 10^{-3}\ m$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of the axle, $r=3.21\ mm=3.21\times 10^{-3}\ m$

Tension acting on the top, T = 3.15 N

Time taken by the string to unwind, t = 0.32 s

We know that the rate of change of angular momentum is equal to the torque acting on the torque. The relation is given by :

$\tau=\dfrac{dL}{dt}$

Torque acting on the top is given by :

$\tau=F\times r$

Here, F is the tension acting on it. Torque acting on the top is given by :

$\tau=2F\times r$

$2T\times r=\dfrac{L}{t}$

$L=2T\times r \times t$

$L=2\times 3.15\times 3.21\times 10^{-3}\times 0.32$

$L=6.47\times 10^{-3}\ m$

So, the angular momentum acquired by the top is $6.47\times 10^{-3}\ m$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

What provides most of the force to allow the runners to move?

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

When you are running the most important force that you should understand is friction. Friction is a force that opposes movement between two objects, but for runners friction makes you faster. Friction gives you a better and more efficient way to use your energy into speed.
