The force that gravitation exerts upon a body, equal to the mass of the body times the local acceleration of gravity is known as weight.

Weight is the force of gravity acting on a body.

The formula is :

                                W =mg

Here,

W is the weight or force acting on the body. m is the mass of the body, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Since weight is also a force, so its SI unit is also newton. The value of weight varies from place to place depending on the gravity. Its value can also be equal to zero.

Mashcka [7]

Answer with Explanation:

One hypothesis above would probably rely on the situation called <em>"inelastic collision." </em>The two carts are travelling towards each other at different speed. So, this means that once they collide, the kinetic energy will not be conserved but will be transferred as <em>sound energy, thermal energy or material deformation</em>. The impact will be great, thus a <u>greater fraction of kinetic energy will be lost from the system.</u>

In a bi-prism experiment the eye-piece was placed at a distance 1.5m from the source. The distance between the virtual sources w
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

λ = 1.4 × 10^(-7) m

Explanation:

We are given;

distance of eye piece from the source;D = 1.5 m

distance between the virtual sources;d = 7.5 × 10^(-4) m

To find the wavelength, we will use the formula for fringe width;

X = λD/d

Where X is fringe width, λ is wavelength, while d and D remain as before.

Now, fringe width = eye-piece distance moved transversely/number of fringes

Eye piece distance moved transversely = 1.88 cm = 1.88 × 10^(-2) m

Thus,

Fringe width = (1.88 × 10^(-2))/10 = 1.88 × 10^(-3) m

Thus;

1.88 × 10^(-3) = λ(1.5)/(7.5 × 10^(-4))

λ = [1.88 × 10^(-3) × (7.5 × 10^(-4))]/1.5

λ = 1.4 × 10^(-7) m

What is true weightlessness ?​
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

weightlessness, condition experienced while in free-fall, in which the effect of gravity is canceled by the inertial (e.g., centrifugal) force resulting from orbital flight. ... Excluding spaceflight, true weightlessness can be experienced only briefly, as in an airplane following a ballistic (i.e., parabolic) path.
