An astronaut is said to be weightless when they travel in the satellite. What does this mean?

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 790 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of 28 degrees with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is k = 0.14. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of a = 0.18 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

The a992 steel rod bc has a diameter of 50 mm and is used as a strut to support the beam. determine the maximum intensity w of the uniform distributed load that can be applied to the beam without risk of causing the strut to buckle. take f. s. = 2 against bucklin

Tall pacific coast redwood trees can reach heights of about 100 m. if air drag is negligibly small, how fast is a sequola cone moving when it reaches the ground f it dropped from the top of a 100 m tree?
