What are the functions of free falling?

Physics
1 answer:
Monica [59]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

In Newtonian physics, free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only force acting upon it. In the context of general relativity, where gravitation is reduced to a space-time curvature, a body in free fall has no force acting on it.

Which properties define light as a wave?
Naddik [55]

Properties that define the light is a wave are

1. Speed : speed of light is 300,000 Km /s, It is most fundamenta property of light to define light is a wave

2. Reflection: Light particles or photons reflect off the particles or masses are continue to travel at the same speed.

What are convection currents and what causes them?
Novay_Z [31]
Caused by the very hot material at the deepest part of the mantle rising, then cooling, sinking again and then heating, rising and repeating the cycle over and over.
It is the movements within the Earth's mantle caused by the heat of the core. The region where two or more tectonic plates meet.

A pendulum has 895 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
LuckyWell [14K]

Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system  remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed  from one form to the other.

Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.

Mathematically also potential energy is represented as

Potential energy= mgh

Where m is the mass of the pendulum.

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height from the bottom z the ground.

At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.

The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as

Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2

Where m is the mass of the pendulum

v is the velocity of the pendulum

At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.

Also as it has been mentioned energy can neither be created nor destroyed hence the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and would be equivalent to 895 J.

An unpolarized light with an intensity of 20W/m^2 is passed through a pair of polarizers. The first polarizer is set at an angle
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

4.416 W/m²

Explanation:

Malus' law is given mathematically as

I = I₀ cos² θ

For the first polarizer, θ = 60°

I₁ = I₀ cos² 60°

I₁ = I₀ (0.5)² = 0.25I₀

For the second polarizer, θ = 20°

I₂ = I₁ cos² 20°

I₂ = I₁ (0.9397)² = 0.883 I₁

I₂ = 0.883 × 0.25I₀ = 0.2208 I₀

Note that

I₀ = 20 W/m²

I₂ = 0.2208 × 20 = 4.416 W/m²

Hope this Helps!!!

Two objects (38.0 and 17.0 kg) are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless, frictionless pulley. The pulley h
fgiga [73]

Answer:

a) 3.7 m/s^2

b) 231.8 N

Explanation:

Let m1 be mass of the first object (m1 = 38.0 kg) and let m2 be the mass of the second object (m2 = 17.0 kg ). Let a be the acceleration of the two objects. Let F1 be the force of gravity exerted on m1 and F2 be the force of gravity exerted on m2. Let M = m1 +m2

a)

F1 = m1g and F2 = m2g

So Fnet = F1 + F2

Since the pulleys will move in different directions when accelerating...

Fnet = F1 - F2

M×a = m1g - mg2

M×a = g×(m1 -m2)

a = g×(m1 - m2)/M

a = 9.8×(38 - 17)/(38 + 17)

a = 3.7 m/s^2

b)

Looking at the part for m2

Fnet  = T - m2g

-m2×a = T - m2g

T = m2(g - a)

T = 231.8 N
