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.

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

255 Hz

Explanation:

With 5 beats per second with the 250 Hz fork, we know the unknown fork is either 250 - 5 = 245Hz or 250 + 5 = 255 Hz

With 15 beats per second with the 270 Hz fork, we know the unknown fork is either 270 - 15 = 255Hz or 270 + 15 = 285 Hz (most people would have a hard time discerning 15 beats per second... 5 per second is hard enough)

As 255 is the common frequency, it is the one selected.

A proton is propelled at 4×106 m/s perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. 1) If it experiences a magnetic force of 4.8×10−13
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

B = 0.75 T

Explanation:

As we know that the force on a moving charge in magnetic field is given by the formula

F = qvB

here we have

B = \frac{F}{qv}

here we know that

F = 4.8 \times 10^{-13} N

q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

v = 4 \times 10^6 m/s

now from above equation we have

B = \frac{4.8 \times 10^{-13}}{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(4 \times 10^6)}

B = 0.75 T

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

A star uses fusion as an energy source by building larger atoms from smaller atoms.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission and fusion are two processes at which an atomic nucleus is changed to produce energy. Fission is the process splitting heavy atomic into lighter atomic nuclei.

So, fusion is the combination of smaller atoms to form larger atoms and star uses this as source of energy.

Fusion is the process at which light atomic nuclei are merged or fused together to form heavier nuclei.

The energy source for all stars is nuclear fusion. In a nuclear fusion reaction, the nuclei of two atoms combine to create a new atom. Most commonly, in the core of a star, two hydrogen atoms fuse to become a helium atom.
