Some life forms move so slowly that their movement cannot be detected by normal observation. The best way to determine any movem

ent is by placing a mark at some point, and observing any change in position from it. Why is this true?

Not sure the precise concept of "normal observation", but I assume that is observed by "eyes".

Eye observation is basically macroscopic, but when you use a mark, which can be regarded as a point of mass, then it goes to microscopic.

Mark is a reference point which you can compare the relative position change, but with your eyes, first you cannot notice microscopic changes, second the eyes cannot precisely set a stable reference point.

What is the difference between real and apparent weightlessness?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

In space we feel weightlessness because the earth's gravity has less effect on us. The Earth's gravitational attraction at those altitudes is only about 11% less than it is at the Earth's surface. If you had a ladder that could reach as high as the shuttle's orbit, your weight would be 11% less at the top.

Explanation:

Hope this helps:)

A ball is rolled of a 2.14m table at 8m/s. Find the time of flight for the ball and the horizontal range
Mama L [17]

Answer:

0.661 s, 5.29 m

Explanation:

In the y direction:

Δy = 2.14 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(2.14 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.661 s

In the x direction:

v₀ = 8 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 0.661 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (8 m/s) (0.661 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (0.661 s)²

Δx = 5.29 m

Round as needed.

The distance traveled by an object can be modeled by the equation d = ut + 0.5at2 where d = distance, u = initial velocity, t =
Taya2010 [7]
We are given with the expression d = ut + 0.5 at^2 and is asked to express the equation in terms of a. First, we transpose ut to the left side, then we multiply to the equation and divide lastly the resulting equation by t^2. The final expression becomes a = 2(d-ut)/t^2.
