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 acceleration vector of a particle in projectile motion ________.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Points downward, and its magnitude is 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion, with constant velocity and zero acceleration. In fact, there are no forces acting on the projectile along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the acceleration along this direction is zero.

- A vertical motion, with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (downward), due to the presence of gravity wich "pulls" the projectile downward.

The total acceleration of the projectile is given by the resultant of the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration. But we said that the horizontal component is zero, therefore the total acceleration corresponds just to its vertical component, therefore it is a vector with magnitude 9.8 m/s^2 which points downward.

The Earth orbits around the sun because the gravitational force that the sun
kotykmax [81]
<h3>Question -:</h3>

The Earth orbits around the sun because the gravitational force that the sun

exerts on the Earth:

O A. causes Earth's acceleration toward the sun.

O B. is very small because the sun is so far from the Earth.

O c. is smaller than the force the Earth exerts on the sun.

O D. pushes the Earth away from the sun.

<h3>Answer -:</h3>

O A. causes Earth's acceleration toward the sun.

A particular form of electromagnetic radiation has a frequency of 5.42x10^15 Hz. What is the wavelength is nanometers? meters?
zubka84 [21]
Electromagnetic radiation are represented in waves. Each type of wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between two peaks in a wave is called the wavelength. This value is equal to the speed of light divided by the frequency.
Wavelength = c/f
Wavelength = 3x10^8 / <span>5.42x10^15
</span><span>Wavelength = 5.54 x 10^-8 m = 55.35 nm</span>
