What is the difference between free fall and weightlessness??

Physics

joja [24]2 years ago

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.

he absolute potential at a distance of 2.0 m from a positive point charge is 100 V. What is the absolute potential 4.0 m away fr
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

50 V

Explanation:

The formula electric potential is given as,

V = kq/r............. Equation 1

q = Vr/k ................. Equation 2

Where q = charge at that point, V = Electric potential, k = coulombs constant, r = distant.

Given: V = 100 V, r = 2.0 m, k = 9.0×10⁹ Nm/C².

Substitute into equation 1

q = (100×2)/(9.0×10⁹ )

q = (200/9)(10⁹)

q = 22.22×10⁻⁹

q = 2.22×10⁻⁸ C.

The potential at point 4.0 m

Given: r = 4.0 m, q = 2.22×10⁻⁸ C, k = 9.0×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute into equation 2

V = 9.0×10⁹(2.22×10⁻⁸)/4

V = 49.95 V

V ≈ 50 V

Hence the potential = 50 V

A train moves from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in 50.0 seconds. What is its acceleration?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Wellll. I am assuming the direction of speed is in the same direction as the direction of displacement of the train. (i.e. Velocity is positive)

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time (m^s-2)

A -0.00325 C charge q1 is placed 5.62 m from a second charge q2. The first charge is repelled with a 48900 N force. What is the
blagie [28]

Answer: q2 = -0.05286

Explanation:

Given that

Charge q1 = - 0.00325C

Electric force F = 48900N

The electric field strength experienced by the charge will be force per unit charge. That is

E = F/q

Substitute F and q into the formula

E = 48900/0.00325

E = 15046153.85 N/C

The value of the repelled second charge will be achieved by using the formula

E = kq/d^2

Where the value of constant

k = 8.99×10^9Nm^2/C^2

d = 5.62m

Substitutes E, d and k into the formula

15046153.85 = 8.99×10^9q/5.62^2

15046153.85 = 284634186.5q

Make q the subject of formula

q2 = 15046153.85/ 28463416.5

q2 = 0.05286

Since they repelled each other, q2 will be negative. Therefore,

q2 = -0.05286
