Why are astronauts weightless in the Space Station? You may find it helpful to watch the video "Newton's Laws of Motion." Why ar

Zolol [24]

Answer:

B) Because the Space Station is constantly in free-fall around the Earth.

Explanation:

Anything that is falling experiences an upward force on them. For example when a person is going down in a lift they will experience something that is pushing them upwards. This happens due to the fact that the total acceleration the body is feeling is less than the acceleration due to graviity.

The force on a body which is falling is

$F=m(g-a)$

Where,

m = Mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity

a = acceleration the object is experiencing.

a = g. So, the force becomes zero and the object experiences weightlessness.

Hence, the astronauts in the space station experience weightlessness due to fact that the Space Station is constantly in free-fall around the Earth.

When operated on a household 110.0 V line, typical hair dryers draw about 1650 W of power. The current can be modeled as a long,

Andre45 [30]

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage of household line, V = 110 V

Power of the hairdryer, P = 1650 W

During use, the current is about 1.95 cm from the user's hand.

(a) Power is given by :

$P=V\times I\\\\I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{1650\ W}{110\ V}\\\\I=15\ A$

(b) Again the power is given by :

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

R is resistance of the dryer

$R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\\R=\dfrac{(110)^2}{1650}\\\\R=7.34\ \Omega$

(c) The magnetic field produced by the dryer at the user's hand is given by :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}\\\\B=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 15}{2\pi \times 1.95\times 10^{-2}}\\\\B=1.53\times 10^{-4}\ T$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Estimate frequency of vibration of your arm. Let the length of the arm be 0.57 m. Consider the arm as a simple pendulum and assu

skad [1K]

Answer:

0.80865 Hz

1.23662 seconds

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

l = Length of arm = 0.57 m

Length of simple pendulum is given by

$L=\dfrac{2}{3}l\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 0.57\\\Rightarrow L=0.38\ m$

The frequency is given by

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{L}}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{9.81}{0.38}}\\\Rightarrow f=0.80865\ Hz$

The frequency is 0.80865 Hz

The time period is given by

$T=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{1}{0.80865}\\\Rightarrow T=1.23662\ s$

The time period is 1.23662 seconds

How do we find an atom's mass number?

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

To calculate the atomic mass of a single atom of an element, add up the mass of protons and neutrons. Example: Find the atomic mass of an isotope of carbon that has 7 neutrons. You can see from the periodic table that carbon has an atomic number of 6, which is its number of protons.
