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....

Answer:

F = 800 [N]

Explanation:

To be able to calculate this problem we must use the principle of momentum before and after the impact of the hammer.

We must summarize that after the impact the hammer does not move, therefore its speed is zero. In this way, we can propose the following equation.

ΣPbefore = ΣPafter

(m_{1}*v_{1}) - F*t = (m_{1}*v_{2})

where:

m₁ = mass of the hammer = 0.15 [m/s]

v₁ = velocity of the hammer = 8 [m/s]

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

t = time = 0.0015 [s]

v₂ = velocity of the hammer after the impact = 0

(0.15*8)-(F*0.0015) = (0.15*0)\\F*0.0015 = 0.15*8\\F = 1.2/(0.0015)\\F = 800 [N]

Note: The force is taken as negative since it is exerted by the nail on the hammer and this force is directed in the opposite direction to the movement of the hammer.

Which of the following pairings are more likely to be held together with the strong nuclear force?
aivan3 [116]

Which of the following pairings are more likely to be held together with the strong nuclear force

Explanation:

1.What does a strong nuclear force do in an atom? It repels electrons from other electrons. It repels protons from other protons. It attracts protons and neutrons.

2.The chain reaction requires both the release of neutrons from fissile isotopes undergoing nuclear fission and the subsequent absorption of some of these neutrons in fissile isotopes.

3.The strong nuclear force holds most ordinary matter together because it confines quarks into hadron particles such as the proton and neutron. In addition, the strong force binds these neutrons and protons to create atomic nuclei.

How does electricity flow?
svp [43]
An electric current is said to exist when there is a net flow of electric charge through a region. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by electrons moving through a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in an ionized gas (plasma).

A hollow cylinder is given a velocity of 5.3 m/s and rolls up an incline to a height of 2.87 m. If a hollow sphere of the same m
Valentin [98]

Answer:

E = 1/2 M V^2 + 1/2 I ω^2 = 1/2 M V^2 + 1/2 I V^2 / R^2

E = 1/2 M V^2 (1 + I / (M R^2))

For a cylinder I = M R^2

For a sphere I = 2/3 M R^2

E(cylinder) = 1 + 1 = 2       omitting the 1/2 M V^2

E(sphere) = 1 + 2/3 = 1.67

E(cylinder) / E(sphere) = 2 / 1.67 = 1.2

The cylinder initially has 1.20 the energy of the sphere

The PE attained is proportional to the initial KE

H(sphere) = 2.87 / 1/2 = 2.40 m    since it has less initial KE

Determine the force of gravitational attraction between the earth (m = 5.98 x 10^24kg)
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

F = 683.8 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force of attraction between the Earth and the student is given by Newton's Law of Gravitation as follows:

F = \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

where,

F = Force = ?

G = Universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

m₁ = mass of Earth = 5.98 x 10²⁴ kg

m₂ = mass of student = 70 kg

r = distance between Earth and student = 6.39 x 10⁶ m

Therefore,

F = \frac{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^1)(5.98\ x\ 10^{24}\ kg)(70\ kg)}{(6.39\ x\ 10^6\ m)^2}\\

<u>F = 683.8 N</u>
