Answer:

The sparrow experiences a Much greater acceleration because of its smaller mass.

Explanation:

a = F/m With a constant force, acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.

Brut [27]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Convection is a process in which heat transfers from a hotter substance to a colder substance.

As a result, the substance which is less dense will rise and the more denser substance will sink due to the influence of gravity.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given situation substance X will rise due to convection.

Why do astronuats in orbit in the space shuttle seem to float?

SVEN [57.7K]

Astronauts float<span> around in </span>space<span> because there is no gravity in </span>space. Everyone knows that the farther you get from Earth, the less the gravitational force is. Well,astronauts<span> are so far from the Earth that gravity is so small. This is why NASA calls it microgravity</span>

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: The small spherical planet called "Glob" has a mass of 7.88×1018 kg and a radius of 6.32×104 m. An astronaut on the surface of Glob throws a rock straight up. The rock reaches a maximum height of 1.44×103 m, above the surface of the planet, before it falls back down.

1) the initial speed of the rock as it left the astronaut's hand is 19.46 m/s.

2) A 36.0 kg satellite is in a circular orbit with a radius of 1.45×105 m around the planet Glob. Then the speed of the satellite is 3.624km/s.

Explanation: To find the answer, we need to know about the different equations of planetary motion.

<h3>How to find the initial speed of the rock as it left the astronaut's hand?</h3>

We have the expression for the initial velocity as,

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

Thus, to find v, we have to find the acceleration due to gravity of glob. For this, we have,

$g_g=\frac{GM}{r^2} =\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*7.88*10^{18}}{(6.32*10^4)^2}= 0.132$

Now, the velocity will become,

$v=\sqrt{2*0.132*1.44*10^3} =19.46 m/s$

<h3>How to find the speed of the satellite?</h3>

As we know that, by equating both centripetal force and the gravitational force, we get the equation of speed of a satellite as,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} } =\sqrt{\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*7.88*10^{18}}{1.45*10^5} } =3.624km/s$

Thus, we can conclude that,

1) the initial speed of the rock as it left the astronaut's hand is 19.46 m/s.

2) A 36.0 kg satellite is in a circular orbit with a radius of 1.45×105 m around the planet Glob. Then the speed of the satellite is 3.624km/s.
