Freefall can only be experienced when gravity is the only force acting on you. Weightlessness can be experienced on earth with air resistance and gravity like on a rollercoaster when you are just about to go down the hill.

Free fall means your falling because of gravity and weight and will eventually hit the ground without any protection. weightlessness means a place or time where there is no gravity and you're floating and not falling.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

<u>Amplitude - remains the same</u>

<u>Frequency - increases</u>

<u>Period - decreases</u>

<u>Velocity - remains the same.</u>

<u />

Explanation:

The amplitude of the wave remains the same since you are not changing the distance your hand moves and the amplitude of the wave depends on how much distance your hand covers while moving.

The frequency of your wave increases since now you are moving your hand more number of times in the same period i.e. your hand is moving faster in one second. So, the frequency of your wave increases.

The period is the time taken by the wave to travel a certain distance. Since your hand is now moving faster, the wave will travel faster and will take less time to cover the same distance hence, we can say that its period will decrease.

The velocity of a wave depends on the medium in which it is travelling. Your wave was previously travelling in air and the new wave is also travelling in the same medium so the velocity of the wave remains unchanged.

If the coefficient of kinetic friction between a 22 kg kg crate and the floor is 0.27, what horizontal force is required to move
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

58.27 N

Explanation:

the data we have is:

mass: m=22kg

coefficient of friction: \mu =0.27

and we also know the acceleration of gravity is g=9.81m/s^2

We need to do an analysis of horizontal and vertical forces acting on the object:

-------

Vertically the forces acting on the object:

  • Normal force N (acting up from the object)
  • weight: w=mg (acting down from)

so the sum of forces in the vertical axis "y" are:

F_{y}=N-w\\F_{y}=N-mg

from Newton's second Law we know that F=ma, so:

ma_{y}=N-mg

and since the object is not accelerating in the vertical direction (the movement is only horizontal) a_{y}=0, and:

0=N-mg\\N=mg

-----------

now let's analyze the horizontal forces

  • frictional force: f= \mu N and since N=mg  --> f=\mu mg
  • force to move the object: F

and the two forces just mentioned must be opposite, thus the sum of forces in the "x" axis is:

F=ma_{x}=F-f\\ma_{x}=F-\mu mg

and we are told that the crate moves at a steady speed, thus there is no acceleration: a_{x}=0

and we get:

0=F-\mu mg\\F=\mu mg

substituting known values:

F=(0.27)(22kg)(9.81m/s^2)\\F=58.27N
