The magnitude of the tidal force between the International Space Station (ISS) and a nearby astronaut on a spacewalk is approximately 2GmMa/r3 . In this expression, M is the mass of the Earth, r=6.79×106m is the distance from the center of the Earth to the orbit of the ISS, m=125kg is the mass of the astronaut, and a=20m is the distance from the astronaut to the center of mass of the ISS. Calculate the force of gravitational attraction between the...

In this expression, M is the mass of the Earth, r=6.79×106m is the distance from the center of the Earth to the orbit of the ISS, m=125kg is the mass of the astronaut, and a=16m is the distance from the astronaut to the center of mass of the ISS. Part A Calculate the magnitude of the tidal...
An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only a rope and a bag of tools. First he tries to throw a rope to his fellow astronaut, but the rope is too short. In a last ditch effort, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion, away from the space station. The astronaut has a mass of ma = 102 kg and the bag...

An astronaut of mass 84.0 kg is taking a space walk to work on the International Space Station. Because of a malfunction with the booster rockets on his spacesuit, he finds himself drifting away from the station with a constant speed of 0.690 m/s. With the booster rockets no longer working, the only way for him to return to the station is to throw the 8.95 kg wrench he is holding. In which direction should he throw the wrench? away...
A person is in the international space station 400km above the surface of the Earth. (Radius of Earth 6,371 km, Mass of Earth 5.972 x 1024kg, G = 6.674 x 10-11 m3/(kg.s)) a) What is their free-fall acceleration? b) If an astronaut outside the space station were to drop a ball with a 5cm diameter which had a drag coefficient of 0.6 and a density of 0.4 x 103 kg/m3, what would its terminal velocity be when it is close...
You are a visitor aboard the New International Space Station, which is in a circular orbit around the Earth with an orbital speed of ?o=1.10 km/svo=1.10 km/s . The station is equipped with a high velocity projectile launcher, which can be used to launch small projectiles in various directions at high speeds. Most of the time, the projectiles either enter new orbits around the Earth or eventually fall down and hit the Earth. However, as you know from your physics...

answer all please 1 If a 71-kg astronaut at rest in space throws a ball with mass 0.61 kg at a speed of 12 mph. What happens to the astronaut as a result? 4 A moving ball collides elastically with another ball that is twice as heavy and is initially at rest. What happens to the lighter ball as a result of the collision? (a) She picks up some of the movement of the ball, causing her to move forward....
