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.

Determine the displacement and distance covered by a man if he walks 10 m north, turns east and walks 20 m, and then turns right
NemiM [27]

Answer:

20m

Explanation:

The two tens cancel each other out, as they are in opposite directions. Now we only care about the 20m, which if we have no 10's, will end up 20m away.

What is the current in a series circuit that has two resistors (4.0 ohms and 7.5 ohms) and a power source of 9.0 volts?
Olin [163]

-- First, we have to decide how to handle the two resistors.

The effective resistance of resistors in series is the sum
of their individual resistances.  That is, they act like a single
resistor, whose resistance is the sum of all of them.

So in this question, the 4.0 ohms and the 7.5 ohms act like a
single resistor of 11.5 ohms.

-- The current in the circuit is

                       (the supply voltage) / (the total resistance)

                   =                (9.0 volts)  /  (11.5 ohms)

                   =                      0.783... Ampere        (rounded)

Charles' law explains which of these phenomena?
Luden [163]
I think the correct answer would be that Charles' law explains why <span>a balloon deflates when the air around it cools. Charles' law is a simplification of the ideal gas law. At constant pressure,  volume and temperature have a direct relationship. Hope this helps.</span>

Space vehicles traveling through Earth's radiation belts can intercept a significant number of electrons. The resulting charge b
Elena L [17]

Answer:

a) 0.167 μC/m^2

b) 1.887 * 10^4 V/m

Explanation:

Hello!

First let's find the surface charge density:

a)

Since thesatellite is metallic, the accumalted charge will be uniformly distribuited on its surface. Therefore the charge density σ will be:

σ = Q/A

Where A is the area of the satellite, which is:

A=4πr^2 = πd^2 = π(1.9m)^2

Therefore:

σ = (1.9)/(π (1.9)^2) μC/m^2 = 0.167 μC/m^2

Now let's calculate the electric field

b)

Just outside the surface of the satellite the elctric field will be:

E = σ/ε0

Where      ε0=8.85×10^−12 C/Vm

Therefore:

E = (0.167*10^-6 C/m^2) / (8.85*10^-12  C/Vm) = 0.01887 *10^6 V/m

E = 1.887 * 10^4 V/m
