Difference between freefall and weightlessness.​

Physics
1 answer:
Margaret [11]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Differences between freefall and weightlessness are as follows:

<h3><u>Freefall</u></h3>
  • When a body falls only under the influence of gravity, it is called free fall.
  • Freefall is not possible in absence of gravity.
  • A body falling in a vacuum is an example of free fall.

<h3><u>Weightlessness</u></h3>
  • Weightlessness is a condition at which the apparent weight of body becomes zero.
  • Weightlessness is possible in absence of gravity.
  • A man in a free falling lift is an example of weightlessness.

Hope this helps....

Good luck on your assignment....

What if The rotational speed of Earth increased ?
dsp73

Answer:

This would happen.

Explanation:

If the earth’s rotation speed increases then the weight of the body decreases. This is because you see a moving body on the rotating earth’s surface itself is in the reference frame. So when the earth rotates, the centripetal force acts towards the centre of rotation.

g Calculate the maximum wavelength of light that will cause the photoelectric effect for potassium. Potassium has work function
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

λ = 5.4196 10⁻⁷m,  λ = 541.96 nm    this is green ligh

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect was explained by Eintein assuming that the light was made up of particles called photons and these collided with the electrons taking them out of the material.

 

                     K = h f -Ф

where K is the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons, hf is the energy of the light quanta and fi is the work function of the material.

The speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

                   c = λ / f

                  f = c /λ

we substitute

                K = h c / λ - Φ

for the case that they ask us the kinetic energy of the electons is zero (K = 0)

                 h c / λ = Ф

                λ = h c / Ф

we calculate

                 λ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸ / 3.67 10⁻¹⁸

                 λ = 5.4196 10⁻⁷m

let's take nm

                lam = 541.96 nm

this is green light

What is science and why do we study science and what are the benefits we are going to get from it ?​
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

science is define as the study of physics, chemistry, biology, geology and astronomy. science is very important in our daily life.we study science for knowing the knowledge about biological and chemical and many other aspects.without science it is impossible to live our daily life.science is used in each and every steps.

Explanation:

There are many more benefits that we are getting and going to get . Science has already discovered many things ,that we didn't expect efore.And also in progress to discover new things.Science has developed a new type of antivirus that protect us from different virus.Has made different medicine that recover a people. So it is very useful in our life.
