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.

1.A river flowing steadily at a rate of 240 m3/s is considered for hydroelectric power generation. It is determined that a dam c
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

the power that can be generated by the river is 117.6 MW

Explanation:

Given that;

Volume flow rate of river v = 240 m³/s

Height above the lake surface a h = 50 m

Amount of power can be generated from this river water after the dam is filled = ?

Now the collected water in the dam contains potential energy which is used for the power generation,

hence, total mechanical energy is due to potential energy alone.

E_{mech} = m(gh)

first we determine the mass flow rate of the fluid m

m = p×v

where p is density ( 1000 kg/m³

so we substitute

m = 1000kg/m³ × 240 m³/s

m = 240000 kg/s

so we plug in our values into ( E_{mech} = m(gh) kJ/kg )

E_{mech} = 240000 × 9.8 × 50

E_{mech} = 117600000 W

E_{mech} = 117.6 MW

Therefore, the power that can be generated by the river is 117.6 MW

What is the law of variation of the period T of a simple pendulum
DIA [1.3K]
The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }
where L is the length of the pendulum and g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration. As we can see, the period of a simple pendulum depends only on its length.
