When is something weightless

Physics

valkas [14]3 years ago

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.

A very thin oil film (n = 1.25) floats on water (n = 1.33). What is the thinnest film that produces a strong reflection for gree
mixer [17]

Answer:

200 nm is the thinnest film that produces a strong reflection for green light with a wavelength of 500 nm

Explanation:

If two reflected waves interfere constructively ,strong reflection is produced. Two reflected waves will experience a phase change

For constructive interference

2\times n\times t=m\lambda

for thinnest film m=1

refractive index should be taken for film n=1.25

thickness of the thinnest film is

t=\frac{m\lambda}{2n} \\t=\frac{1\times 500}{2\times 1.25} \\t=200 nm

Formula for the distance (d) is given by d = rate*time. For example if you are traveling at 60 mph for 3 hours the distance trav
babunello [35]

Explanation:

Distance covered by the particle is given by:

Distance (d) = rate (v) × time (t)                

Speed of Mary, v₁ = 50 mph

Speed of Jim, v₂ = 60 mph

It is assumed that, Mary and Jim leave at the same time. After one hour, Jim is 10 miles ahead.

Distance travelled by Jim, d₁ = (60t + 10)

Distance travelled by Mary, d₂ = 50t

The distance between Mary and Jim is greater than or equal to 100 miles.

60t+10-50t\ge100

10t\ge90

t\ge9\ h

So, Jim takes is 9 hours more than Mary to cover same distance. Hence, this is the required solution.

An initially motionless test car is accelerated to 115 km/h in 8.58 s before striking a simulated deer. The car is in contact wi
hoa [83]

Answer:

a)       a = 3.72 m / s², b)    a = -18.75 m / s²

Explanation:

a) Let's use kinematics to find the acceleration before the collision

             v = v₀ + at

as part of rest the v₀ = 0

             a = v / t

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

              v = 115 km / h (1000 m / 1km) (1h / 3600s)

              v = 31.94 m / s

              v₂ = 60 km / h = 16.66 m / s

l

et's calculate

             a = 31.94 / 8.58

             a = 3.72 m / s²

b) For the operational average during the collision let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum

            I = Δp

            F Δt = m v_f - m v₀

            F = \frac{m ( v_f - v_o)}{t}

            F = m [16.66 - 31.94] / 0.815

            F = m (-18.75)

Having the force let's use Newton's second law

            F = m a

            -18.75 m = m a

             a = -18.75 m / s²
