Astronauts who spend long periods in outer space could be adversely affected by weightlessness. One way to simulate gravity is to shape the spaceship like a cylindrical shell that rotates, with the astronauts walking on the inside surface. Explain how this simulates gravity. Consider (a) how objects fall, (b) the force we

1. A spring with k = 40.0 N/m is at the base of a frictionless 30.0° inclined plane. A 0.50-kg object is pressed against the spring, compressing it 0.20m from its equilibrium position. The object is then released. If the object is not attached to the spring, how far up the incline does it travel before coming to rest and then

A Scottish physics professor is fishing in Loch Ness and hooks an ancient gold artifact. The density of gold is 19300 kg/m3 and seawater is 1035 kg/m3. While he is pulling up the treasure, the tension in his fishing line is 120N. What will be the tension in his line when he lifts the object out of the water?
A small block of mass 0.09 kg is placed against a compressed spring at the bottom of a frictionless track that slopes upward at an angle of 40* above the horizontal. The spring has k=640 N/m and negligible mass. When the spring is released, the block travels a maximum distance of 1.8 m along the track before sliding back down. B

To measure the acceleration due to gravity on a distant planet, an astronaut hangs a 0.070 kg ball from the end of a wire. The wire has a length of 1.5 m and a linear density of 3.1 10-4 kg/m. Using electronic equipment, the astronaut measures the time for a transverse pulse to travel the length of the wire and obtains a value
To measure the static friction coefficient between a 1.9 kg block and a vertical wall, the setup shown in the drawing is used. A spring (spring constant = 418 N/m) is attached to the block. Someone pushes on the end of the spring in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip downward. If the spring i

A disk and a hoop of the same mass and radius are released at the same time at the top of an inclined plane. Which object reaches the bottom of the incline first? The hoop The disk Both reach the bottom at the same time. It depends on the angle of inclination.
The average velocity of a car traveling with a constant acceleration during a certain time interval is equal to the mean of the velocities at the beginning and end of that time interval. True False Free-fall is the motion of an object subject only to the influence of gravity. True False M
Escape velocity near Earth's surface is 11 km/s which means that a particle near Earth's surface traveling faster than about 11 km/s will have enough kinetic energy to completely escape from Earth's gravitational pull. Molecules in the upper atmosphere that are moving faster than this will therefore escape if they do not suffer
