An astronaut is said to be weightlessness when he\she travels in a satellite. Does it mean that the earth does not attract him\h

GarryVolchara [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The sense of weightlessness in orbiting satellite is because of the lack of any contact-forces. ... Thus, both the astronaut and the satellite have the same value of g, which is again equal to the centripetal acceleration of the satellite. These two neutralize each other, causing everything to appear weightless.

VELOCITY, SPEED, DISTANCE ETC..
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time

Velocity  = displacement / time

So ,

Speed = 50 km / 0.5 hr = 100 km/h

Velocity  = 40 km / 0.5hr = 80 km/h

Consider the hydrogen atom. How does the energy difference between adjacent orbit radii change as the principal quantum number i
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

the energy difference between adjacent levels decreases as the quantum number increases

Explanation:

The energy levels of the hydrogen atom are given by the following formula:

E=-E_0 \frac{1}{n^2}

where

E_0 = 13.6 eV is a constant

n is the level number

We can write therefore the energy difference between adjacent levels as

\Delta E=-13.6 eV (\frac{1}{n^2}-\frac{1}{(n+1)^2})

We see that this difference decreases as the level number (n) increases. For example, the difference between the levels n=1 and n=2 is

\Delta E=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{2^2})=-13.6 eV(1-\frac{1}{4})=-13.6 eV(\frac{3}{4})=-10.2 eV

While the difference between the levels n=2 and n=3 is

\Delta E=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{9})=-13.6 eV(\frac{5}{36})=-1.9 eV

And so on.

So, the energy difference between adjacent levels decreases as the quantum number increases.

If two parallel conductors are both free to move and are carrying current in the same direction, what would happen if the curren
pishuonlain [190]

The wires would remain attracted to each other.

Option D.

Explanation:

It is known that magnetic flux will be generated in conductors with varying emf. So when current is flowing in two parallel conductors, the magnetic flux will be generated in those wires. If the current is flowing in same direction in both the wires, then the magnetic flux will be generated towards inside and outside the wires. Thus, the wire will get attracted to each other till the time the current is flowing in the same direction in both the wires. So if the current flow in each wire was reversed at the same time, then the wire would remain attracted to each other.

The planet Mars has much less gravitational force that Earth. What would happen if you went to Mars?
vovangra [49]

gravitational force of planet exerted on its object near the surface is known as weight

so here we know that gravitational force of mars is much less than the gravitational force of Earth

So on the surface of mars the Weight of objects must be much less than the weight of object on surface of Earth

so here correct answer must be

<em>D. Your weight would decrease.</em>
