Why is it incorrect to say that astronauts are weightlesS in space while orbiting Earth in a space shuttle?​

Physics
1 answer:
Mamont248 [21]2 years ago
6 0

This is because Gravity exists everywhere in the universe.

<h3>What is Gravity?</h3>

This is the force of attraction which acts on all matters in the universe. Astronauts appear weightless while in orbiting the Earth because the space shuttle and the astronauts are in free fall around it.

They fall at the same rate as the space shuttle which is why the astronauts appear weightless.

A rifle fires a bullet at a target. The speed of the bullet is 600m/s. The target is located 400m away. How long does it take fo
Alex

0.67s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of bullet = 600m/s

Distance of target = 400m

Unknown:

Time taken for bullet to reach target = ?

Solution:

Speed is a physical quantity that expresses the rate of change of distance with time;

   Speed = \frac{distance}{time taken}

   Since time is unknown, we make it the subject of the expression;

   time = \frac{distance }{speed} = \frac{400}{600}

   time = 0.67s

An X-Ray tube is an evacuated glass tube, where the electrons are produced at one end and accelerated by a strong electric field
lawyer [7]

Answer:

a) ΔV = 25.59 V, b)  ΔV = 25.59 V,  c)  v = 7 10⁴ m / s,  v/c= 2.33 10⁻⁴ ,

v/c% = 2.33 10⁻²

Explanation:

a) The speed they ask for electrons is much lower than the speed of light, so we don't need relativistic corrections, let's use the concepts of energy

starting point. Where the electrons come out

          Em₀ = U = e DV

final point. Where they hit the target

          Em_f = K = ½ m v2

energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

         e ΔV = ½ m v²

         ΔV = \frac{1}{2} mv²/e     (1)

If the speed of light is c and this is 100% then 1% is

         v = 1% c = c / 100

         v = 3 10⁸/100 = 3 10⁶6 m/ s

let's calculate

         ΔV = \frac{1}{2}  \frac{9.1 \ 10^{-31} (3 10^6 )^2 }{ 1.6 10^{-19} }

         ΔV = 25.59 V

b) Ask for the potential difference for protons with the same kinetic energy as electrons

             K_e = K_p

              K_p = ½ m v_e²

              K_p = \frac{1}{2}  9.1 10⁻³¹ (3 10⁶)²

              K_p = 40.95 10⁻¹⁹ J

we substitute in equation 1

              ΔV = Kp / M

              ΔV = 40.95 10⁻¹⁹ / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

              ΔV = 25.59 V

notice that these protons go much slower than electrons because their mass is greater

c) The speed of the protons is

             e ΔV = ½ M v²

             v² = 2 e ΔV / M

             v² = \frac{2 \ 1.6 \ 10^{-19} \ 25.59 }{1.67 \ 10^{-27} }

              v² = 49,035 10⁸

               v = 7 10⁴ m / s

Relation

        v/c = \frac{7 \ 10^4 }{ 3 \ 10^8}

        v/c= 2.33 10⁻⁴

The force between the two objects is 19.73 nN.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Any force acting between two objects tends to be directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects. And this kind of attraction force between two objects is termed as gravitational force.

So if we consider M_{1} and M_{2} as the masses of both objects and let d be the distance of separation of two objects. Then the force between the two objects can be determined as below:

                      \text {Gravitational force}=\frac{G \times M_{1} \times M_{2}}{d^{2}}

As gravitational constant G=6.67 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{m}^{3} \mathrm{kg}^{-1} \mathrm{s}^{-2}, M_{1} = 20 kg and  M_{2} = 100 kg, while d = 2.6 m, then

                    \text {Gravitational force}=\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 20 \times 100}{(2.6)^{2}}=\frac{6.67 \times 20 \times 10^{-9}}{6.76}

Thus, we get finally,

                   \text {Gravitational force}=19.73 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{N}

As we know, nano denoted by letter 'n' equals to 10^{-9}

So the force acting between two objects is 19.73 nN.
