Object become weightless in space and in water. gravity is what holds an object down, without gravity object would float around.

           Weight = (mass) x (local acceleration of gravity)

The local acceleration of gravity depends on the other masses
around you and your distance from them.  So an object can only be
truly weightless when it's infinitely far away from any other mass.

But an object appears to be weightless when it's in free fall, that is,
when the only force acting on it is the force of gravity.  In that situation,
the sensation of 'weight' is impossible ... you can never feel that something
is pressing against you, because everything else is also in free fall. 
So a scale on the floor can't exert force against your feet, the mattress
on your bed can't exert force against your back, and your heart, liver,
stomach and spleen can't exert force against your other guts. 
Nothing seems to have weight, because everything is falling with
the same acceleration.

A dog pulls on a leash with a force of 15 23 is a big dog. The leash makes an angle of 36.7 degrees to the horizontal. What are
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

x = 12.027N and y = 8.964N

Explanation:

The first sentence of this question is not explanatory enough. However, I'll assume the force to be 15N

Force = 15N

\theta = 36.7 to the horizontal

Required

Solve for the x and y components

Since the given angle is to the horizontal, the x and y coordinates are calculated using the following illustrations.

Sin\theta = \frac{y}{Force} ---- y component

Cos\theta = \frac{x}{Force} ---- x component

Calculating the y component.

Substitute 15 for Force and 36.7 for \theta

Sin\theta = \frac{y}{Force} becomes

Sin(36.7) = \frac{y}{15}

Make y the subject

y = 15 * Sin(36.7)

y = 15 * 0.5976

y = 8.964N

Calculating the x component.

Substitute 15 for Force and 36.7 for \theta

Cos\theta = \frac{x}{Force} becomes

Cos(36.7) = \frac{x}{15}

Make y the subject

x = 15 * Cos(36.7)

x = 15 * 0.8018

x = 12.027N

<em>Hence, the x and y components of the force are: 8.964N and 12.027N respectively.</em>

Given the following lens combination:
natulia [17]

Given:

Lens.........diameter ...fl#

eyepiece...2cm............5

objective...40cm........15

focal length of eyepiece = 2*5 = 10cm

focal length of objective = 40*15 = 600cm

magnification = FL obj / FL eyp = 600/10 = 60x
