 · free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only forceacting 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.

Visually, how can you distinguish between an ac and dc power supply?
Temka [501]

Answer:

By the use of slow motion camera.

Explanation:

Visually, it is very hard to differentiate between an ac and dc power supply. But Since, we that In Ac supply polarity changes 100 times in a second ( because frequency of ac supply is 50 Hz generally). Whereas, Dc gives a steady power supply. So, in slow motion camera we can easily capture the flickering light tubes which won't happen in case of dc supply.

When jumping, a flea accelerates at an astounding 1400 m/s2 , but over only the very short distance of 0.55 mm . If a flea jumps
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

0.079 m or 79 mm

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

v = √(2as)

Where v is the velocity

a is acceleration = 1400m/s²

s is the distance = 0.55 mm = 0.00055m

Therefore

= √(2 × 1400m/s² × 0.00055 m) = 1.54 m/s

Therefore; initial velocity = 1.54 m/s

Then we use the equation of motion s = v² / 2g

Take g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore

= (1.54m/s)² / 19.6 m/s²

= 0.079 m or 79 mm

What is the single most important factor that determines why Earth (or almost any planet in the Solar System) experiences season
kirill [66]

Answer:

Planetary seasons are caused by two factors:

1. axial tilt and

2. variable distance from the sun

Explanation:

Earth's orbit is nearly circular and so has little effect on climate. It's our planet's axial tilt that causes almost all seasonal changes.

A resistor of 5 Ω is placed in a circuit. The voltage drop across the resistor is 12 V. What is the current through the resistor
Kaylis [27]
<span>Data:

</span>R = 5 Ω
U = 12 V
i = ?
<span>
Formula:

</span>U = R*i → i =  \frac{U}{R}<span>

Solving:

</span>i = \frac{U}{R}
i = \frac{12}{5}
\boxed{i = 2.4A}

Answer:

<span>The current through the resistor is 2.4 Amperes</span><span>
