HELP is it impossible to experience free fall near the earths surface? why?

It’s not impossible because the gravitational pull from the earths gravity from the atmosphere will pull you in just like all other planets that’s why you can fall at really fast speeds from the air.

Two balls of clay, with masses M1 = 0.49 kg and M2 = 0.47 kg, are thrown at each other and stick when they collide. Mass 1 has a

malfutka [58]

Answer:

a) $p_i=1.568\hat{i}+0.752 \hat{j}$

b) $v_{fx}=1.668\ m.s^{-1}$

c) $v_{fy}=0.7999\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given masses:

$m_1=0.49\ kg$

$m_2=0.47\ kg$

Velocity of mass 1, $v_1=3.2 \hat{i}\ m.s^{-1}$

Velocity of mass 2, $v_2=1.6 \hat{j}\ m.s^{-1}$

Initial momentum:

$p_i=m_1.v_1+m_2.v_2$

$p_i=0.49\times 3.2 \hat{i}+0.47\times 1.6 \hat{j}$

$p_i=1.568\hat{i}+0.752 \hat{j}$

magnitude of initial momentum:

$p_i=\sqrt{1.568^2+0.752 ^2}$

$p_i=1.739\ kg.m.s^{-1}$

From the conservation of momentum:

$p_f=p_i$

$m_f.v_f=1.739$

$v_f=\frac{1.739}{0.49+0.47}$

$v_f=1.85\ m.s^{-1}$ is the magnitude of final velocity.

Direction of final velocity will be in the direction of momentum:

$tan\theta=\frac{0.752 }{1.568}$

$\theta=25.62^{\circ}$

$\therefore v_{fx}=1.85\ cos25.62^{\circ}$

$v_{fx}=1.668\ m.s^{-1}$

Vertical component of final velocity:

$v_{fy}=1.85\ sin 25.62^{\circ}$

$v_{fy}=0.7999\ m.s^{-1}$

A 6 kg bowling ball is accelerated at a rate of 2.3 m/s² down the lane. How much force was necessary to produce this acceleratio

ira [324]

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion:
F = m * a where F is the force applied in Newtons, m is the mass of the object in kg, and a is the acceleration of the object in m/ $s^{2}$ .
Therefore the force applied in this situation is simply:
F = 6 kg * 2.3 m/ $s^{2}$ = 13.8 N

Two parallel slits are illuminated by light composed of two wavelengths. One wavelength is λA = 622nm. The other wavelength is λ

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

$\lambda_{B}=414.67 nm$

Explanation:

In this question we have given

$\lambda_{A}=622nm$

we have to find

$\lambda_{B}=?$

We know that

optical path difference for bright fringe is given as $=n\lambda$

Here,

n is order of fringe

and optical path difference for dark fringe is given as $=(n+.5)\lambda$

since the light with wavelength $\lambda_{A}$ produces its third-order bright fringe at the same place where the light with wavelength $\lambda_{B}$ produces its fourth dark fringe
