<span>Even in space, there is still presence of gravity. The
cause of weightlessness is not how far above the earth the space shuttle is but
rather how fast it is travelling. The shuttle is in free fall causing
weightlessness, but it is travelling fast enough to miss the earth as it falls.
Similarly, the airplane could also provide weightlessness if it went free fall
as well. However, that ends as the plane hits the ground. </span>
Answer:
1. 20.54m/s
2. 1.52s
Explanation:
QUESTION 1:
The speed the stone impact the ground is the final speed/velocity, which can be calculated using the formula:
v² = u² + 2as
Where;
v = final velocity (m/s)
u = initial velocity (m/s)
a = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
s = distance (m)
From the provided information, u = 5.65m/s, v = ?, s = 19.9m, a = 9.8m/s²
v² = 5.65² + 2 (9.8 × 19.9)
v² = 31.9225 + 2 (195.02)
v² = 31.9225 + 390.04
v² = 421.9625
v = √421.9625
v = 20.5417
v = 20.54m/s
QUESTION 2:
Using v = u + at
Where v = final velocity (m/s) = 20.54m/s
t = time (s)
u = initial velocity (m/s) = 5.65m/s
a = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
v = u + at
20.54 = 5.65 + 9.8t
20.54 - 5.65 = 9.8t
14.89 = 9.8t
t = 14.89/9.8
t = 1.519
t = 1.52s
Answer:
Electric current is defined as the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit from point one point to another. This is carried by electrically charged particles within the circuit. Current is represented by the symbol I and its unit measured in Amperes. It is therefore related to the voltage and resistance of the circuit. If the current in the circuit reduces, the rate at which the charge and current on the capacitor reduces also proportionally in an exponential manner.
Explanation:
Since a decrease in the flow of current in the circuit is observed, the implication for the rate at which the charge and voltage on the capacitor is also an exponential decrease in the rate of flow with time. This is because the electric current is directly proportional to the electric charge and the time.
