In the International Space Station which orbits Earth, astronauts experience apparent weightlessness because: a) the astronauts and the station are in free fall towards the center of the Earth.
b) there is no gravity in space. the station is kept in orbit by a centrifugal force that counteracts the Earth's gravity.
c) the station's high speed nullifies the effects of gravity.
d) the station is so far away from the center of the Earth.

Explanation:

given data:

determine the horse power (h.p) = ?

force applied to move the box(f) = 10 pounds,

box lifted from a distance         (d) = 3 feet

time taken to lift                         (t) = 10 sec,

the horse power is defined as amount of work required to move a load. the horse power is equal to 550 foot-pound per second

                  1 h.p   = 550 foot-pound/second

it can also be defined as the the load that need to be move a body for certain distance in a certain amount of time.

mathematically,

                      h.p = (force × distance)/ time

                            = (10 × 3)/ 10

                            = 30/10

                            = 3 foot -pound/sec

hence, the horse power is needed to move the box is 3 foot-pound/second

important note: 1 h.p = 550 foot-pound/second = 746 watts
