Answer:

The feeling of weight is one of compression.

Explanation:

All your body is being pulled down by gravity yet your feet ( if standing) or your back or something is holding you up.  

Your body is compressed by the PAIR of forces and it is that compression that you feel.  

So when you remove the supporting force then all the body is free to move together and there is no compression within you.  

Hence you perceive no weight.

Answer:

The feeling of weightlessness occurs because of the absence of a force of support on your body.

Explanation:

In the cases in which your body's experimenting "free fall", that is to say, when it's falling at the same acceleration than gravity, it means your body lacks support. On the other hand, the sensation of having weight is produced because you stand on the floor or float in water, perceiving its support.

A car of mass 998 kilograms moving in the positive y–axis at a speed of 20 meters/second collides on ice with another car of mas
goldfiish [28.3K]
    <span> Let’s determine the initial momentum of each car.
#1 = 998 * 20 = 19,960
#2 = 1200 * 17 = 20,400

This is this is total momentum in the x direction before the collision. B is the correct answer. Since momentum is conserved in both directions, this will be total momentum is the x direction after the collision. To prove that this is true, let’s determine the magnitude and direction of the total momentum after the collision.

Since the y axis and the x axis are perpendicular to each other, use the following equation to determine the magnitude of their final momentum.

Final = √(x^2 + y^2) = √(20,400^2 + 19,960^2) = √814,561,600

This is approximately 28,541. To determine the x component, we need to determine the angle of the final momentum. Use the following equation.

Tan θ = y/x = 19,960/20,400 = 499/510
θ = tan^-1 (499/510)

The angle is approximately 43.85˚ counter clockwise from the negative x axis. To determine the x component, multiply the final momentum by the cosine of the angle.

x = √814,561,600 * cos (tan^-1 (499/510) = 20,400</span>

7.22 Ignoring reflection at the air–water boundary, if the amplitude of a 1 GHz incident wave in air is 20 V/m at the water surf
Serga [27]

Answer:

z = 0.8 (approx)

Explanation:

given,

Amplitude of 1 GHz incident wave in air = 20 V/m

Water has,

μr = 1

at 1 GHz, r = 80 and σ = 1 S/m.

depth of water when amplitude is down to  1 μV/m

Intrinsic impedance of air = 120 π  Ω

Intrinsic impedance of  water = \dfrac{120\pi}{\epsilon_r}

Using equation to solve the problem

  E(z) = E_0 e^{-\alpha\ z}

E(z) is the amplitude under water at z depth

E_o is the amplitude of wave on the surface of water

z is the depth under water

\alpha = \dfrac{\sigma}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{(120\pi)^2}{\Epsilon_r}}

\alpha = \dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{(120\pi)^2}{80}}

\alpha =21.07\ Np/m

now ,

  1 \times 10^{-6} = 20 e^{-21.07\times z}

  e^{21.07\times z}= 20\times 10^{6}

taking ln both side

21.07 x z = 16.81

z = 0.797

z = 0.8 (approx)

Describe the principle of conversation of energy:
exis [7]

Answer: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, rather it is converted from one form to another

Explanation:

The principle of conversation of energy explains how energy is conserved in nature by being converted from one form to another such that no energy is created nor destroyed.

Practical examples include:

- electrical pressing iron that converts electrical energy to heat energy

- solar panels that converts solar energy to electrical energy

- Car batteries that converts chemical energy to light energy etc
