An astronaut is said to be weightless when he/she travels in a satellite. Does it mean that the earth does not attract him/her?​

Snezhnost [94]2 years ago

Answer:

If a person is close enough to be pulled by gravity then they will, but if they are weightless and in absolute zero gravity then earth is not close enough to attract them. The earth more likely will be attroacting the satalite in this situation so I think it will probably be some gravitational pull.

A shot-putter accelerates a 7.2 kg shot from rest to 17 m/s . what work did the shot-putter do on the ball?
garri49 [273]
<span>1.0x10^3 Joules The kinetic energy a body has is expressed as the equation E = 0.5 M V^2 where E = Energy M = Mass V = Velocity Since the shot was at rest, the initial energy is 0. Let's calculate the energy that the shot has while in motion E = 0.5 * 7.2 kg * (17 m/s)^2 E = 3.6 kg * 289 m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 kg*m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 J So the work performed on the shot was 1040.4 Joules. Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 1.0x10^3 Joules</span>

maks197457 [2]
No spacecraft has been built yet that was able to absorb harmful
radiations in space, change weather conditions on Earth, or destroy
meteors and comets which might strike Earth.

We should continue to send robotic spacecrafts into space
because they help discard some myths about objects in space. 
In other words, they help us learn things that we never knew before.

Which process is the most scientifically plausible explanation for how the organisms released oxygen into Earth's atmosphere? Gr
Stels [109]

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Studies about the time period of oxygen accumulation suggests that free oxygen was first produced by prokaryotic and then later by eukaryotic organisms in the ocean. These organisms carried out photosynthesis more efficiently, producing oxygen as a waste product.

The organism mainly responsible for this is known as cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae. These microbes conduct photosynthesis: using sunshine, water and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates and, oxygen.

The volume electric charge density of a solid sphere is given by the following equation: The variable r denotes the distance fro
qwelly [4]

Answer:

62.8 μC

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

The volume electric charge density of a solid sphere is given by the following equation: ρ = (0.2 mC/m⁵)r²The variable r denotes the distance from the center of the sphere, in spherical coordinates. What is the net electric charge (in μC) of the sphere if the radius of the sphere is 0.5 m?

Solution

The total charge on the sphere Q = ∫∫∫ρdV where ρ = volume charge density = 0.2r² and dV = volume element in spherical coordinates = r²sinθdθdrdΦ

So,  Q =  ∫∫∫ρdV

Q =  ∫∫∫ρr²sinθdθdrdΦ

Q =  ∫∫∫(0.2r²)r²sinθdθdrdΦ

Q =  ∫∫∫0.2r⁴sinθdθdrdΦ

We integrate from r = 0 to r = 0.5 m, θ = 0 to π and Φ = 0 to 2π

So, Q =  ∫∫∫0.2r⁴sinθdθdrdΦ

Q =  ∫∫∫0.2r⁴[∫sinθdθ]drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫0.2r⁴[-cosθ]drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫0.2r⁴-[cosπ - cos0]drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫∫0.2r⁴-[-1 - 1]drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫0.2r⁴-[- 2]drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫0.2r⁴(2)drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫0.4r⁴drdΦ

Q =  ∫0.4r⁴dr∫dΦ

Q =  ∫0.4r⁴dr[Φ]

Q =  ∫0.4r⁴dr[2π - 0]

Q =  ∫0.4r⁴dr[2π]

Q =  ∫0.8πr⁴dr

Q =  0.8π∫r⁴dr

Q =  0.8π[r⁵/5]

Q = 0.8π[(0.5 m)⁵/5 - (0 m)⁵/5]

Q = 0.8π[0.125 m⁵/5 - 0 m⁵/5]

Q = 0.8π[0.025 m⁵ - 0 m⁵]

Q = 0.8π[0.025 m⁵]

Q = (0.02π mC/m⁵) m⁵

Q = 0.0628 mC

Q = 0.0628 × 10⁻³ C

Q = 62.8 × 10⁻³ × 10⁻³ C

Q = 62.8 × 10⁻⁶ C

Q = 62.8 μC

What leads astronomers to believe that some large moons associated with the giant planets have compositions that are roughly hal
Sonja [21]
<span>Astronomers are able to determine facts about the composition of these moons by examining the nature of light that is reflected from their surfacy using a method called spectroscopy. This process works because different materials tend to reflect light at different wavelengths So, by observing at which wavelengths a planetary body reflects light, astronomers are able to estimate its composition.</span>
