Gravity is pulling on you downwards with a force which we call your weight. The reason why you aren't accelerating downwards is

that there is an equal and opposite force of the floor (let's assume you are standing up) pushing you upwards that nets out against the force of gravity. This is the "equal and opposite" force described by Newton's Third Law of Motion.?

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

This force, that avoids that our body be accelerated downwards in spite of the attractive force from the earth, is called the normal force, as it is always normal to the surface on which the object is placed.

It is not the "equal and opposite force" described by Newton's Third Law of motion, because, this law says that this force acts on both bodies simultaneously, ( as a pair) so, one force is the one exerted by Earth on the body (which we call weight) and the other is exerted by us on Earth (acting at the center of the Earth, upward).

Also, the case when the normal force is equal and opposite to gravity force, is a special case, when the surface is level, and the object is at rest in the vertical direction.

Normal force can adopt any value so the combination of external forces be compliant with Newton's 2nd Law.

Half Time At 3:00 the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock point in directions that are 90.0
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

3 : 08 : 10.9

Explanation:

assuming a 12 hour clock

angular velocity of the hour hand is 2π/(3600(12)) rad/s

angular velocity of the minute hand is 2π/3600 rad/s

difference is 2π/3600 - 2π/(3600(12)) = 11(2π/(3600(12)) rad/s

45° = π/4 radians

This angle is covered in a time of

π/4 rad / 22π / (3600(12)) = 900(12) / 22 = 490.909090... s

or about 8 minutes 10.9 s

Find the minimum value of n in the Balmer series for which the predicted wavelength is in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

 λ =365.4 nm

Explanation:

Boh's atomic model of the Hydrogen atom the energy of each level is

        Eₙ = - 13.606 / n²

where the synergy is in electonvotes and the value of E₀ = 13.606 eV is the energy of the base state of hydrogen.

An atomic transition occurs when an electron goes from an excited state and joins everything of lower energy.

                 ED = 13.606 (1 / n₀² - 1 /n_{f}^{2})

we are going to apply this relationship to answer slash.

 

At the beginning of the studies of atomic transitions, each group did not consider having a different name

name        Initial state

Lymman         1

Balmer           2

the final state is any other state sta the continuum that corresponds to n = inf

Let's look for the highest energy of the Balmer series

              ΔE = 13.606 (1/2² - 1 /∞)

              ΔE = 3.4015 eV

Let's use the Planck relation for the energy

                E = h f = h c /λ

                λ = h c / E

Let's reduce the energy to J

              E = 3.4015 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1 eV) = 5.4424 10⁻¹⁹

            λ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸ / 5.4424 10⁻¹⁹

            λ = 3.654 10⁻⁷ m

            λ = 3,654 10⁻⁷ m (10⁹ nm / 1m)

            λ =365.4 nm

this eta radiation in the ultraviolet range

A horizontal disk rotates about a vertical axis through its center. Point P is midway between the center and the rim of the disk
rjkz [21]

<u>If the disk turns with constant angular velocity, the following statements about it are true </u>

  • The linear acceleration of Q is twice as great as the linear acceleration of P
  • is moving twice Q as fast as P.

Answer: Options D and E

<u>Explanation: </u>

Let us consider that R is the radius of the circular disc. So as Q is on the rim, so the distance of Q from the centre of the disc is R and as P is the midpoint between centre and rim of the disk, so the distance of P from the centre is R/2.

As we know that the angular velocity of the circular disk will be equal to the ratio of distance covered by that point to the time taken. So the angular velocity at point Q will be

      \text { Angular velocity at point } Q=\frac{\text { Distance covered by point } Q}{\text { Time }}=\frac{2 \pi R}{T}=v

As R is the distance of point Q from the centre of the disc.

Similarly ,

\text { Angular velocity at point } P=\frac{\text { Distance covered by point } P}{\text { Time }}=\frac{2 \pi\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2}\right)}{T}=\frac{\pi R}{T}=v^{\prime}

So if we equate v with v’ we obtain that

                              v=2 v^{\prime}

Therefore, the point Q will be moving twice as fast as P. As the velocity of Q is more than O, the linear acceleration of point Q will also be twice as great as the linear acceleration of P.

This is because acceleration is directly proportional to the rate of change in velocity. So if velocity increases in the factor of 2, the acceleration of point Q will also increase twice with respect to point P.
