What is the difference between free fall and weightlessness??

Physics

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.

A plastic rod is charged up by rubbing a wool cloth, and brought to an initially neutral metallic sphere that is insulated from
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

A) is repelled by the sphere.

Explanation:

On rubbing the plastic rod with the wool cloth the rod gains some electrons from the surface of the wool and becomes electrostatically negative in charge.

When this rod is brought near to a neutral metallic sphere then the electrons of the sphere get repelled from the nearest portion of the metallic sphere as it a conductor and the electrons accumulate on the farthest opposite side of the rod.

But when the rod is brought into contact for some time then the from the portion of the rod which is in contact to the sphere loses the electrons from that region to the sphere since plastic is not an electrical conductor so not all the charges travel to the sphere.

Then when the rod is separated, the charges on the sphere spread uniformly and the similar charged rod faces repulsion.

What force must be exerted on the master cylinder of a hydraulic lift to support the weight of a 2000-kg car (a large car) resti
Nataliya [291]

Archimedes principle states that

 

F1 / A1 = F2 / A2

F2 = (A2 / A1) * F1

 

Also, formula for the force is F = mg. Formula for the area of the cylinder is A = πr^2, therefore we get

 

F2 = (πr2^2 / πr1^2) * mg

 

Since the diameter of the cylinders are 2 cm and 24 cm, r1 = 12 and r2 = 1.

 

Substituting the values to the derived equation, we get

 

F2 = (π 1^2 / π 12^2) * 2400 * 9.8

F2 = 163.3333 N
