Which best explains how an object at rest deep in space and far from any massive body behaves compared to an object in free fall

in Earth’s gravitational field?
They behave differently because, according to the principle of equivalence, the laws of physics depend on frames of reference.
They behave differently because, according to gravitational redshift, the laws of physics depend on frames of reference.

Answer: They behave the same because, according to the principle of equivalence, the laws of physics work the same in all frames of reference.

Explanation:

According to the equivalence principle postulated by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, acceleration in space and gravity on Earth have the same effects on objects.

To understand it better, regarding to the equivalence principle, Einstein formulated the following:  

A gravitational force and an acceleration in the opposite direction are equivalent, both have indistinguishable effects.  Because the laws of physics must be accomplished in all frames of reference.

Hence, according to general relativity, gravitational force and acceleration in the opposite direction (an object in free fall, for example) have the same effect.  This makes sense if we deal with gravity not as a mysterious atractive force but as a geometric effect of matter on spacetime that causes its deformation.

What is wavelength ?

The distance over which a periodic wave's shape repeats is known as the wavelength in physics.  It is a property of both traveling waves and standing waves as well as other spatial wave patterns. It is the distance between two successive corresponding locations of the same phase on the wave, such as two nearby crests, troughs, or zero crossings.  The spatial frequency is the reciprocal of wavelength. The Greek letter lambda () is frequently used to represent wavelength. The term wavelength is also occasionally used to refer to modulated waves, their sinusoidal envelopes, or waves created by the interference of several sinusoids.

How has the farming industry been affected by the use of fossil fuels?
Mashutka [201]

Fossil fuels have led to an increase in food costs.

Explanation:

Buried organic material over million of years form combustible geologic deposits of organic materials called fossil fuels that can be converted crude oil, natural gas, or coal.

Fossil fuel are currently used as a source of energy in machine and equipment applied in the farming industry. Mechanization has been made possible due to this type of fuel availability thus larger farms have been prepared for cultivation.In addition, other processes such as planting,weeding and harvesting are currently performed by farming machines which are propelled by fossil energy. So in general, fossil fuels in the farming industry has led to increase in amount of crop harvested because more farms are under cultivation and farming process is now mechanized. However, due to use of machines and energy, the production cost has increased, thus to cover for this increased cost, the prices for food products increases, making the cost of food commodities to rise.

The rate (in cubic feet per hour) that a spherical snowball melts is proportional to the snowball's volume raised to the 2/3 pow
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

A 3 feet radius snowball will melt in 54 hours.

Explanation:

As we can assume that the rate of  snowball takes to melt is proportional to the surface area, then the rate for a 3 feet radius will be:

T= A(3 ft)/A(1 ft) * 6 hr

A is the area of the snowballs. For a spherical geometry is computing as:

A=4.pi.R^2

Then dividing the areas:

A(3 feet)/A(1 foot) = (4 pi (3 ft)^2)/(4 pi (1 ft)^2) =  (36pi ft^2)/(4pi ft^2)= 9

Finally, the rate for the 3 feet radius snowball is:

T= 9 * 6 hr = 54 hr
