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?​

Physics

Snezhnost [94]2 years ago
6 0

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.

The electric motor of a model train accelerates the train from rest to 0.685 m/s in 21.5 ms. The total mass of the train is 875
Natali [406]

Answer:

P=9.58 W

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, and assuming friction force as zero:

F_m=m.a\\F_m=0.875kg*a

The acceleration is given by:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}\\a=\frac{0.685m/s}{21.5*10^{-3}s}\\\\a=31.9m/s^2

So the force exerted  by the motor is:

F_m=0.875kg*31.9m/s^2\\F_m=27.9N

The work done by the motor is given by:

W_m=F_m*d\\\\d=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\d=\frac{1}{2}*31.9m/s^2*(21.5*10^{-3}s)^2\\\\d=7.37*10^{-3}m

W_m=27.9N*7.37*10^{-3}m\\W_m=0.206J

And finally, the power is given by:

P=\frac{W_m}{t}\\P=\frac{0.206J}{21.5*10^{-3}s}\\\\P=9.58W

A 70 kg hunter, standing on frictionless ice, shoots a 42 g bullet horizontally at a speed of 590 m/s . Part A Part complete Wha
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The recoil velocity is 0.354 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of hunter = 70 kg

Mass of bullet = 42 g = 0.042 kg

Speed of bullet = 590 m/s

We need to calculate the recoil speed of hunter

Using conservation of momentum

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}

Where,m_{1} = mass of hunter

m_{2} = mass of bullet

u = initial velocity

v = recoil velocity

Put the value in the equation

0+0=70\times v_{1}+0.042\times590

v_{1}=-\dfrac{0.042\times590}{70}

v=-0.354\ m/s

Hence, The recoil velocity is 0.354 m/s.

When we kept the Earth's mass the same, but shrank its size, we saw that had an effect on its escape speed. Albert Einstein used
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

The escape velocity is the velocity needed by any object to overcome the gravitational force of the planet on which it’s present. Now we know that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the planet and inversely proportional to the distance of the object from the center of planet.

If we keep the mass of earth constant and decrease the size of the earth than this will decrease the distance between the object and the center of the earth and thus the gravitational force that will act on the body will increase substantially which will in turn increase the value of the escape velocity.

The value of escape velocity will keep on increasing as the size of the earth will shrink till it reaches to a point when the value of escape velocity becomes more than the speed of light and since it’s impossible to travel with a speed greater than the speed of light and therefore at this point it will become impossible for a spacecraft to escape the earth.

Como surgiu a capoeira?
xz_007 [3.2K]
La capoeira se desarrolló en Brasil, derivada de las tradiciones traídas a través del Océano Atlántico por africanos esclavizados y alimentadas por el ardiente deseo de libertad. Pronto se practicó ampliamente en las plantaciones como un medio para romper los lazos de la esclavitud, tanto física como mentalmente.
