Which person is weightless?

Physics

ahrayia [7]3 years ago

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.

While visiting the planet Mars, Moe leaps straight up off the surface of the Martian ground with an initial velocity of 105 m/s
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

L = 0 m

Therefore, the cricket was 0m off the ground when it became Moe’s lunch.

Explanation:

Let L represent Moe's height during the leap.

Moe's velocity v at any point in time during the leap is;

v = dL/dt = u - gt .......1

Where;

u = it's initial speed

g = acceleration due to gravity on Mars

t = time

The determine how far the cricket was off the ground when it became Moe’s lunch.

We need to integrate equation 1 with respect to t

L = ∫dL/dt = ∫( u - gt)

L = ut - 0.5gt^2 + L₀

Where;

L₀ = Moe's initial height = 0

u = 105m/s

t = 56 s

g = 3.75 m/s^2

Substituting the values, we have;

L = (105×56) -(0.5×3.75×56^2) + 0

L = 0 m

Therefore, the cricket was 0m off the ground when it became Moe’s lunch.

Charge q1 is distance r from a positive point charge Q. Charge q2=q1/3 is distance 2r from Q. What is the ratio U1/U2 of their p
worty [1.4K]

We have that The ratio U1/U2 of their potential energies due to their interactions with Q is

  • U1/U2=6
  • U1/U2=6

From the question we are told that

Question 1

Charge q1 is distance r from a positive point charge Q.

Question 2

Charge q2=q1/3 is distance 2r from Q.

Charge q1 is distance s from the negative plate of a parallel-plate capacitor.

Charge q2=q1/3 is distance 2s from the negative plate.

Generally the equation for the potential energy  is mathematically given as

U=\frac{-k*qQ}{r}

Therefore

The Equations of U1 and U2 is

For U1

U1=\frac{-k*q_1Q}{r}

For U2

U2=\frac{-k*q_1Q}{3*2r}

Since

U is a function of q and  q2=q1/3

Therefore

U1/U2=6

For Question 2

For U1

U1=\frac{-k*q_1Q}{s}\\\\For U2\\\\U2=\frac{-k*q_1Q}{3*2r}

Therefore

U1/U2=6

Imagine you had a bar of gold and decided to cut in half. You repeated this process until eventually you could no longer cut the
nydimaria [60]

This would prove that gold is an <em>element</em>.  No matter how far down you
examine it, you never find any particles of anything except gold.

An example of a different case is salt. 
-- Imagine you had a block of salt and decided to cut it in half.
-- If you repeated this process, then eventually, at some point, you'd have
a tiny particle of salt in front of you, just like before.  BUT ...
-- Just as you were getting ready to cut this one in half, you'd notice that this
particle of salt is different.  It's one atom of sodium stuck to one atom of chlorine,
and if you cut it in half, you would not have ANY salt.   <span />

This would prove that salt is a <em><u>compound</u></em>, made of atoms of two or more elements.
