Answer:

D. You will feel the same weight as you do on Earth

Explanation:

In free space, she is suppose to be weightless.

Free fall can be described as body in motion where the body is under the effect of acceleration due to gravity only and no other acceleration..

Since I am accelerating away from her at an acceleration of 1g

Then,

F=ma, where a=g

Then F=mg

Since my weight on earth is W=mg

This is equals to my weight in the spaceship, then I will feel the same weights as I do on earth.

An electron is traveling with initial kinetic energy K in a uniform electric field. The electron comes to rest momentarily after
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

E=\frac{K}{ed}

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial kinetic energy of an electron=K

Distance=d

Final velocity=v=0

Charge,q=-1e

We have to find the magnitude of electric field.

Work done=Force\times displacement

Using the formula

Work done=qE\times d=-eEd

Using work energy theorem

Work done=Final K.E-Initial K.E=0-K

Work done=-K

Substitute the values

-K=-eEd

K=eEd

E=\frac{K}{ed}

Hence, the magnitude of the electric field=E=\frac{K}{ed}

Explain the interaction between centripetal force and inertia and what kind of motion this interaction causes.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Inertia is an object's tendency to keep moving in a straight line unless acted on by an outside force. Centripetal force causes an object to constantly change direction, so the combination of centripetal force and inertia causes an object to move in a circle. Hope it helps and your cute by the way

You launch a cannonball at an angle of 35° and an initial velocity of 36 m/s (assume y = y₁=
velikii [3]

Answer:

Approximately 4.2\; {\rm s} (assuming that the projectile was launched at angle of 35^{\circ} above the horizon.)

Explanation:

Initial vertical component of velocity:

\begin{aligned}v_{y} &= v\, \sin(35^{\circ}) \\ &= (36\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})\, (\sin(35^{\circ})) \\ &\approx 20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

The question assumed that there is no drag on this projectile. Additionally, the altitude of this projectile just before landing y_{1} is the same as the altitude y_{0} at which this projectile was launched: y_{0} = y_{1}.

Hence, the initial vertical velocity of this projectile would be the exact opposite of the vertical velocity of this projectile right before landing. Since the initial vertical velocity is 20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} (upwards,) the vertical velocity right before landing would be (-20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) (downwards.) The change in vertical velocity is:

\begin{aligned}\Delta v_{y} &= (-20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) - (20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\ &= -41.2\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

Since there is no drag on this projectile, the vertical acceleration of this projectile would be g. In other words, a = g = -9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}.

Hence, the time it takes to achieve a (vertical) velocity change of \Delta v_{y} would be:

\begin{aligned} t &= \frac{\Delta v_{y}}{a_{y}} \\ &= \frac{-41.2\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}}{-9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}} \\ &\approx 4.2\; {\rm s} \end{aligned}.

Hence, this projectile would be in the air for approximately 4.2\; {\rm s}.

What change happens when matter<br> changes states?
Snowcat [4.5K]
Matter either loses or absorbs energy when it changes from one state to another. For example, when matter changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses energy. The opposite happens when matter changes from a solid to a liquid. For a solid to change to a liquid, matter must absorb energy from its surroundings.
