What is the difference between free fall and weightlessness??

1 answer:

3 0

When you are in free fall, the force of gravity is stronger than your velocity perpendicular to where you're falling, and you move at a constant speed downwards.

Under feelings of weightlessness, you are still being pulled by gravity, but your perpendicular velocity and distance from the source can cancel each other out.

Object A has a mass of 100 grams. Object B has a mass of 150 grams. They are both traveling at the same velocity. What can you c

Scilla [17]

-- Momentum is (mass) x (speed).
Object B has 1.5 times as much momentum as Object A has.

-- Kinetic energy is (1/2) x (mass) x (speed) .
Object B has 1.5 times as much kinetic energy as Object A has.

-- If they would both stop long enough to get on the scale,
Object B would weigh 1.5 times as much as Object A does.
