How come in free fall you feel weightless even though gravity is pulling down on you?

Feeling of Weight.

When walking, you feel the weight on your feet, therefore, your brain automatically refers to it as a source of weight.

In the air there is no platform to land on, therefore the brain does not have the conscience to register you getting pulled down.

Explain the correspondence that lets us easily translate between linear motion and rotational motion. What are the linear analog

RideAnS [48]

Explanation:

The linear analog of angle is angle itself.

The linear analog of angular velocity is linear velocity.

ω is angular velocity, therefore linear velocity is given by v

∴ for linear velocity, $v^{2} = u^{2}+2.a.S$

for angular velocity, $\omega_{f}^{2} = \omega _{i}^{2}+2.a.S$

The linear analog of angular acceleration is acceleration.

α is angular acceleration whereas as a is linear acceleration.

∴ for linear acceleration, v = u + a.t

for angular acceleration, $\omega_{f}= \omega _{i}+\alpha .t$

The linear analog of moment of inertia is mass.

I is moment of inertia and m is mass,

∴ for linear analog, F = m.a

for angular analog, τ - I.α

A 500-Ω resistor, an uncharged 1.50-μF capacitor, and a 6.16-V emf are connected in series. (a) What is the initial current? (b)

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a) 0.01232 A

b) 0.00075 s = 0.75 ms

c) 0.0045323 A = 4.532 mA

d) 3.894 V

Explanation:

R = 500 Ω

V = 6.16 V

C = 1.50 μF

Let Vs be the voltage of the emf source

Let Vc be the voltage across the capacitor at any time

a) Current flows as a result of potential difference between two points. So, the current flows according to difference in voltage between the emf source and the capacitor.

At time t = 0,

There is no voltage on the capacitor; Vc = 0 V

Current in the circuit is given by

I = (Vs - Vc)/R

I = (6.16 - 0)/500

I = 0.01232 A

b) Time constant for an RC circuit is given by τ

τ = RC = (500) (1.5 × 10⁻⁶) = 0.00075 s

c) The current decay in an RC circuit (called decay because the current in the circuit starts to fall as the capacitor's voltage rises as the capacitor charges) is given by

I = I₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

where k = (1/τ)

I₀ = Current in the circuit at t = 0 s; I₀ = 0.01232 A

At t = τ = 0.00075 s, kt = (τ/τ) = 1

I = 0.01232 e⁻¹ = 0.0045323 A = 4.532 mA

d) The voltage for a charging capacitor is given by

Vc = Vs (1 - e⁻ᵏᵗ)

where k = (1/τ)

At t = τ = 0.00075 s, Vc = ?, Vs = 6.16 V, kt = 1

Vc = 6.16 (1 - e⁻¹) = 6.16 (0.6321)

Vc = 3.894 V

Coulomb's law for the magnitude of the force FFF between two particles with charges QQQ and Q′Q′Q^\prime separated by a distance

NemiM [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force between two charges of q₁ and q₂ at distance d is given by the expression

F = k q₁ q₂ / d₂

Here force between charge q₁ = - 15 x 10⁻⁹ C and q₃ = 47 x 10⁻⁹ C when distance between them d = (1.66 - 1.24 ) = .42 mm

k = 1/ 4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

putting the values in the expression

F = 1/ 4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹² x - 15 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ /( .42 x 10⁻³)²

= 9 x 10⁹ x - 15 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ /( .42 x 10⁻³)²

= 35969.4 x 10⁻³ N .

force between charge q₂ = 34.5 x 10⁻⁹ C and q₃ = 47 x 10⁻⁹ C when distance between them d = ( 1.24 - 0 ) = 1.24 mm .

putting the values in the expression

F = 1/ 4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹² x 34.5 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ /( .42 x 10⁻³)²

= 9 x 10⁹ x - 34.5 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ /( .42 x 10⁻³)²

= 82729.6 x 10⁻³ N

Both these forces will act in the same direction towards the left (away from the origin towards - ve x axis)

Total force = 118699 x 10⁻³

= 118.7 N.
