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.

A stone is thrown vertically upward at a speed of 41.50 m/s at time t=0. A second stone is thrown upward with the same speed 3.0
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

t1 = t2 + 3.02         V = 41.5

V t1 - 1/2 g t1^2 = V t2 - 1/2 g t2^2

Both stones reach the same height after the specified times

V (t1 - t2) = g/2 (t1^2 - t2^2) = g/2 (t1 - t2) (t1 + t2)

2 V / g = t1 + t2 = 2t1 + 3.02

t1 = V / g - 1.51 = 41.5 / 9.8 -1.51 = 2.72 s

t2 = t1 + 3.02 = 5.74 sec

Check:

41.5 * 2.72 - 4.9 * 2.72^2 = 76.6 m

41.5 * 5.74 - 4.9 * 5.74^2 = 76.8 m

Speed of second stone = 41.5 - 9.8 * 2.72 = 14.8 m/s

A 12.0-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 109-g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface a
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

v₀ = 280.6 m / s

Explanation:

we have the shock between the bullet and the block that we can work with at the moment and another part where the assembly (bullet + block) compresses a spring, which we can work with mechanical energy,

We write the mechanical energy when the shock has passed the bodies

   Em₀ = K = ½ (m + M) v²

We write the mechanical energy when the spring is in maximum compression

Em_{f} = K_{e} \\= \frac{1}{2} kx^2\\    Em_0 = Em_{f}

½ (m + M) v² = ½ k x²

Let's calculate the system speed

   v = √ [k x² / (m + M)]

   v = √[152 ×0.78² / (0.012 +0.109) ]

   v = 27.65 m / s

This is the speed of the bullet + Block system

Now let's use the moment to solve the shock

Before the crash

   p₀ = m v₀

After the crash

p_{f} = (m + M) v

The system is formed by the bullet and block assembly, so the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is preserved

 p_0 =  p_{f}

  m v₀ = (m + M) v

  v₀ = v (m + M) / m

let's calculate

v₀ = 27.83 (0.012 +0.109) /0.012

  v₀ = 280.6 m / s

The people in a location in Florida mainly grow crops which need a lot of water. Which of these statements about the location be
Arisa [49]
The people of Florida are closest to the equator and also near 2 different bodies of water and have rivers running thru them as well salt water and fresh water. they need alot of freshwater due to monsoon seasons, hurricanes etc, its humid and hot there so naturally you need to water more often and frequently.
