A bungee jumper feels weightless as she falls toward the earth.what accounts for her weightless feeling when she fall freely?1.

the force of gravity disappears when she has jumped off a high platform.2. her weight becomes less when she has jumped off.3. the weightless feeling is because of the lack of a support force that balances gravity.4. the platform is too high.

The feel of weight comes due to the normal reaction force given by the support. Hence, the condition of weightlessness is when the normal reaction force becomes zero. So, during free fall there is no support which can provide the normal reaction. Hence, the bungee jumper feels weightless as she falls towards the earth because of the lack of support force that balances gravity.

Hence, the answer is 3.

Answer:

3). the weightless feeling is because of the lack of a support force that balances gravity.

Explanation:

As we know that the bungee jumper is feeling weightlessness when he jumps from the platform.

This is because when the jumper is standing on the platform then the normal force due to floor is balancing the weight of the person

so it is given as

F_n = mg

Now when he jumps from the platform there is no force which will counter balance the weight of the jumper

So here jumper will start moving downwards with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity

So here since there is no support so the jumper will not feel any weight

so correct answer will be

3). the weightless feeling is because of the lack of a support force that balances gravity.

The gas in a balloon has T=280 K and V=0.0279 m^3. if the temperature increases to 320 K at constant pressure, what is the new v
victus00 [196]

Answer:

0.0319 m³

Explanation:

Use ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P is pressure, V is volume, n is amount of gas, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature.

Since P, n, and R are held constant:

n₁ R / P₁ = n₂ R₂ / P₂

Which means:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

Plugging in:

0.0279 m³ / 280 K = V / 320 K

V = 0.0319 m³

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 16.1 Standing waves. An air-filled pipe is found to have successive harmonics at 800 HzHz ,
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Length of the pipe = 53.125 cm

Explanation:

given data

harmonic frequency f1  = 800 Hz

harmonic frequency f2  = 1120 Hz

harmonic frequency f3  = 1440 Hz

solution

first we get here fundamental frequency that  is express as

2F = f2 - f1    ...............1

put here value

2F = 1120 - 800

F = 160 Hz

and

Wavelength is express as

Wavelength  = Speed ÷ Fundamental frequency    ................2

here speed of waves in air  = 340 m/s

so put here value

Wavelength  =340 ÷ 160

Wavelength   = 2.125 m

so

Length of the pipe will be

Length of the pipe = 0.25 × wavelength    ......................3

put here value

Length of the pipe = 0.25 × 2.125

Length of the pipe = 0.53125 m

Length of the pipe = 53.125 cm

Part complete Sound with frequency 1240 Hz leaves a room through a doorway with a width of 1.11 m . At what minimum angle relati
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

14.43° or 0.25184 rad

Explanation:

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

f = Frequency = 1240 Hz

d = Width in doorway = 1.11 m

Wavelength is given by

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{343}{1240}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=0.2766\ m

In the case of Fraunhofer diffraction we have the relation

dsin\theta=\lambda\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\frac{\lambda}{d}\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\frac{0.2766}{1.11}\\\Rightarrow \theta=14.43^{\circ}\ or\ 0.25184\ rad

The minimum angle relative to the center line perpendicular to the doorway will someone outside the room hear no sound is 14.43° or 0.25184 rad
