What is the difference between free fall and weightlessness??
joja [24]
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.

Equal masses of he and ne are placed in a sealed container. What is the partial pressure of he if the total pressure in the cont
EastWind [94]

Answer:

6 atm.

Explanation:

Let the mass of both be m

Then moles of He = m/ 4

Moles of Ne = m/ 20

mole fraction of He = Moles of He/ Total moles = m/4/ (m/4 + m/20) = 0.25 m/0.3m = 0.83

Pressure of He = Mole fraction×total pressure = 0.83 × 6 atm = 5 atm

Answer:

n_cladding = 1.4764

Explanation:

We are told that θ_max = 5 °

Thus;

θ_max + θ_c = 90°

θ_c = 90° - θ_max

θ_c = 90° - 5°

θ_c = 85°

Now, critical angle is given by;

θ_c = sin^(-1) (n_cladding/n_core)

sin θ_c = (n_cladding/n_core)

n_cladding = (n_core) × sin θ_c

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

n_cladding = 1.482 × sin 85

n_cladding = 1.4764

A batter hits a 0.140-kg baseball that was approaching him at 19.5 m/s and, as a result, the ball leaves the bat at 44.8 m/s in
Arada [10]

Answer:

5295.3 N

Explanation:

According to law of momentum conservation, the change in momentum of the ball shall be from the momentum generated by the batter force

mv + P = mV

P = mV - mv = m(V - v)

Since the velocity of the ball before and after is in opposite direction, one of them is negative

P = 0.14(44.8 - (-19.5)) = 9 kg m/s

Hence the force exerted to generate such momentum within 1.7ms (0.0017s) is

F = P/t = 9/0.0017 = 5295.3 N
