Which person is weightless?

Physics
1 answer:
ahrayia [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on an object helps in determining the weight of an object. But a place where there will be no gravity or have zero gravitational pull then it means the person will be weightless.

For example, force of gravity on moon is zero which means any object or person on moon will be weightless.

On the other hand, when a child is in the air as she plays on a trampoline then it means gravitational pull form the earth is acting on it. So, it will definitely has some weight.

Similarly, a scuba diver exploring a deep-sea wreck is under the ground where there will be force of gravity. Hence, it will also have some weight.

Thus, we can conclude that an astronaut on the Moon is the person who is weightless.

water flows horizontally from a hose that is 3m above the ground. the water lands 7.2m to the right of the hose . how long does
Sidana [21]

Answer:

0.782 s

Explanation:

The water flows horizontally from the hose, so its initial vertical velocity is 0.

Given:

y₀ = 3 m

y = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: t

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 m = 3 m + (0 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.782 s

Round as needed.

Two objects with masses m and 3m are connected by a compressed spring so that the energy stored in the spring is 375 joules. If
cluponka [151]

Answer:

281.25 J

Explanation:

We are told that the two objects with masses m and 3m.

Also that energy stored in the spring is 375 joules.

Now, initially the centre of mass of the system took place at rest, it means v1 = v and v2 = v/3

Thus, from principle of conservation of energy, we have;

½mv² + ½(3m)(v/3)² = 375J

(m + 3m/9)½v² = 375

(4/3)m × ½v² = 375

Multiply both sides by ¾ to get;

½mv² = 375 × ¾

½mv² = 281.25 J

Therefore, energy of lighter body is 281.25 J

A composite material is to be designed with epoxy (Em 3.5 GPa) and unidirectional fibers. The longitudinal elastic modulus of th
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Minimum elastic modulus of fiber = 455.64 GPa

Explanation:

Contents of composite material = Epoxy and Unidirectional fibers

Elastic modulus of epoxy = 3.5 GPa

Elastic modulus of composite material = 320 GPa

Volume fraction of fiber = 70 %

Volume fraction of epoxy = 100 - 70 = 30%

Elastic modulus of composite material = 3.5 x 0.3 + Elastic modulus of fiber x 0.7 = 320

0.7 x Elastic modulus of fiber = 320 - 1.05 = 318.95

Elastic modulus of fiber = 455.64 GPa

Minimum elastic modulus of fiber = 455.64 GPa
