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....

In 2002, a gargantuan iceberg broke away from the Ross Ice Sheet in Antarctica. It was approximately a rectangle 218 km long, 25

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

a) 1.25e15 kg

b) 4.17e20 J

c) 44.55 years

Explanation:

To find the volume you need to multiply 218 km * 25 km * 250 m (be careful with units), so the volume is 1.3625e12 m^3, if you multiply this value by the density you will obtain the mass, that is 1.25e15 kg.

To find the energy needed to melt the ice, you use the latent heat, in this case, it is 3.34e5 J/kg. Now you multiply this value by the mass, so you need 4.17e20 J to melt the iceberg.

The surface area of the iceberg is 545e7 m^2, so the ice absorbs 594e9 W, one W is one J/s, so in 12 hours the iceberg absorbs 2.56e16 J, so in 365 days absorbs 9.36e18 J. Now you just divide 4.17e20 J by the amount f energy per year, and obtain 44.55 years.

find the average velocity of a bicycle that starts 100km south and is 120km south of town after 0.4 hours

dusya [7]

Answer:

The average velocity is 50 km/h south

Explanation:

The average velocity of an object is its total displacement divided by

the total time taken.

That means it is the rate at which an object changes its position from

one place to another.

Average velocity is a vector quantity.

The SI unit is meters per second.

A bicycle that starts 100 km south and is 120 km south of town after

0.4 hour.

The displacement = 120 - 100 = 20 km south

The time = 0.4 hour

The average velocity = $\frac{D}{T}$ , where D is the displacement

and t is the time

The average velocity of the bicycle = $\frac{20}{0.4}=50$ km/h

<em>The average velocity is 50 km/h south</em>

If you want it in meter per second, change the kilometer to meter

and change the hour to seconds

1 km = 1000 m

1 hour = 60 × 60 = 3600 seconds

The average velocity of the bicycle = $\frac{50(1000)}{3600}=13.89$ m/s south
