Objects in free fall are weightless. True or False

Physics
1 answer:
Jobisdone [24]3 years ago
6 0
True because a free falling object is an object that is falling under the sole influence of gravity. Any object that is being acted upon only by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. Free-falling objects do not encounter air resistance.

A ball is released from the top of a hill. How fast is the ball going when it reaches the base of the hill? Approximate g as 10
irina [24]
First I’ll show you this standard derivation using conservation of energy:
Pi=Kf,
mgh = 1/2 m v^2,
V = sqrt(2gh)
P is initial potential energy, K is final kinetic, m is mass of object, h is height from stopping point, v is final velocity.
In this case the height difference for the hill is 2-0.5=1.5 m. Thus the ball is moving at sqrt(2(10)(1.5))=
5.477 m/s.

What steps are involved in converting potential energy to kinetic energy
melomori [17]

Answer:

Decreasing in altitude and increasing in velocity

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

E_p = mgh

where m is mass, g is constant gravitational energy and h is the potential altitude.

The formula for kinetic energy is:

E_k = mv^2/2

where v is the velocity

Since m,g are constant, to convert from potential energy to kinetic energy, h must decreases while v increases. For example dropping an object from a height.

The second hand on a clock is 3.00 cm long. What is the speed of the outermost tip of that second hand
Gnom [1K]

In 60 minutes or 3600 seconds, the tip of the minute hand traverses the circumference of a circle with radius 3.00 cm, so it moves with a tangential speed of

(3.00 cm)/(3600 s) ≈ 0.00083 cm/s = 8.3 μm/s

A horizontal wire 1 m long carries 0.4 A and is oriented 30° N of W. The Earth's magnetic field runs due north at this location
alexira [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field is given by the following expression

F = B i L where B is magnetic field perpendicular to wire or current , i is current and L is length of the wire.

Magnetic field of 1.5 x 10⁻⁵ T is making an angle of 60 degree with the wire so the component of field perpendicular to it

B = 1.5 X 10⁻⁵ Cos 30° = 1.3 x 10⁻⁵ T.

Force = BiL

= 1.3 X 10⁻⁵ X .4 X 1

= 5.2 X 10⁻⁶ N.

The direction of force can be found out from Fleming's left hand rule . It will be along downward direction.
