At what condition does a body become weightless at the equator?

Physics

Weightlessness is experienced when there is no net force acting on a body in the vertical direction. Whenever an object is rotating, such as the earth is, it applies an outward centrifugal force on the objects on its surface. At the equator, this force is in the direction exactly opposite to the force attracting us towards the earth, gravity.
If the earth were to spin faster by almost 17 times, the centrifugal force would become equal to the force of gravity and an object would experience weightlessness.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The function is missing in the question. The function of the transverse pulse in the wire is given by $y=\frac{6}{x^2 +3}$  

Explanation:

A transverse wave can be defined as the wave whose direction of displacement is always perpendicular to the direction of propagation. For example, surface wave at water bodies. While a pulse can be defined as a sudden change in a constant quantity such as a pulse of the radiation or current.

Let the wire of infinite length in both the directions and also the magnitude of deflection of wire be in the same shape except the point of maximum deflection to move along the wire.

Thus the equation of the pulse moving the in the positive x-direction moving at the speed of 2.10 m/s is

$y=\frac{6}{(x-2.10)^2 +3}$.

What is the difference between V(peak voltage) and Vrms (root-mean-square) of AC voltage source?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

V(peak voltage) is the highest voltage that the waveform will ever attain and the Vrms(root-mean-square) is the effective voltage of the total waveform representing the AC source.

What is the resistance in a circuit that has a current of 0.75A and a voltage drop of 60V across the cell?( Please help) I will
Marrrta [24]

difference across the 12.0 Ω resistor is 1.20 V, calculate the emf of the cell. 45. Req = 13.5 Ω ... (b) I = V / Reff = 1.5 / 2 = 0.75 A.
