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.

Estimate the wavelength of electrons that have been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 60 kV.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: 2.068*10^{-14}m

Explanation: According to work energy-theorem , the workdone in accelerating the electron equals the energy it would give off in terms of light.

workdone= qV

energy = hc/λ

q=magnitude of an electronic charge= 1.602*10^{-16}

h= planck constant = 6.626*10^{-34}

c= speed of light =2.998* 10^{8}

v= potential difference= 6*10^{4}

λ= wavelength=unknown

by making λ subject of formulae we have that

λ= \frac{hc}{qv}

λ = 6.626*10^{-34} * 2.998* 10^{8} / 1.602*10^{-16} * 6*10^{4}

λ = \frac{19.878*10^{-26} }{9.612*10^{-12} }

by doing the necessary calculations, we have that

λ = 2.068*10^{-14}m

Ann puts a beaker on the scale which shows the mass to be 1.65kg. The actual mass was 1.72 kg. what was the percent error in Ann
mojhsa [17]

Measured reading is 1.65 kg

actual reading was 1.72 kg

error in the reading is 1.72 - 1.65 = 0.07 kg

Now percentage error is given as

error = \frac{error}{true reading}*100

error = \frac{0.07}{1.72}*100

error = 4.1

<em>so this is -4.1% error as the measured reading is less than the actual value</em>
