When is something weightless

1 answer:

5 0

The phenomenon of "weightlessness" occurs when there is no force of support on your body. When your body is effectively in "free fall", accelerating downward at the acceleration of gravity, then you are not being supported.

Distance = 6 km south 60 minutes What was the average velocity

blsea [12.9K]

v = x/t

v = average velocity, x = displacement, t = elapsed time

Given values:

x = 6km south, t = 60min

Plug in and solve for v:

v = 6/60

v = 0.1km/min south

If a trapezoidal channel has side slopes of 1:1, hydraulic depth is 5 feet, the bottom width is 8 feet, flow is 2,312 cubic feet

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

$S = \dfrac{1}{2.5}$

Explanation:

given,

side slope = 1 : 1

hydraulic depth(y) = 5 ft

bottom width (b)= 8 ft

x = 1

Q = 2,312 ft³/s

n = 0.013

slope of channel = ?

$R = \dfrac{A}{P}$

$R = \dfrac{y(b + xy)}{b+2y\sqrt{1+x^2}}$

$R = \dfrac{5(8+ 5)}{8+2\times 5\sqrt{1+1^2}}$

R = 4.69 m

using manning's equation

$Q = \dfrac{1}{n}AR^{2/3} S^{1/2}$

$2312= \dfrac{1}{0.013}\times (5(8+5))\times 4.69^{2/3} S^{1/2}$

$2312=14009.37\times S^{1/2}$

S = 0.406

$S = \dfrac{1}{2.5}$

An alpha particle (Î±), which is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, is momentarily at rest in a region of space occupied by an elec

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Speed = 575 m/s

Mechanical energy is conserved in electrostatic, magnetic and gravitational forces.

Explanation:

Given :

Potential difference, U = $-3.45 \times 10^{-3} \ V$

Mass of the alpha particle, $m_{\alpha} = 6.68 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$

Charge of the alpha particle is, $q_{\alpha} = 3.20 \times 10^{-19} \ C$

So the potential difference for the alpha particle when it is accelerated through the potential difference is

$U=\Delta Vq_{\alpha}$

And the kinetic energy gained by the alpha particle is

$K.E. =\frac{1}{2}m_{\alpha}v_{\alpha}^2$

From the law of conservation of energy, we get

$K.E. = U$

$\frac{1}{2}m_{\alpha}v_{\alpha}^2 = \Delta V q_{\alpha}$

$v_{\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \Delta V q_{\alpha}}{m_{\alpha}}}$

$v_{\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{2(3.45 \times 10^{-3 })(3.2 \times 10^{-19})}{6.68 \times 10^{-27}}}$

$v_{\alpha} \approx 575 \ m/s$

The mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of the following conservative forces :

-- electrostatic forces

-- magnetic forces

-- gravitational forces

What does keplers second law of planetary monition imply

Gemiola [76]

Kepler's second law of planetary motion describes the speed of a planet traveling in an elliptical orbit around the sun. It states that a line between the sun and the planetsweeps equal areas in equal times. Thus, the speed of theplanet increases as it nears the sun and decreases as it recedes from the sun.
