Difference between freefall and weightlessness

1 answer:

7 0

Freefall is when you don't have any control over your body, you have gravity pulling you down to the center of the earth, while weightlessness you have the ability to float, go down, move side to side. In weightlessness you have zero gravity, but while your freefalling you are in gravity.

Hope I was able to help!

What is the difference between the terms "heat" and "thermal energy"?

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The difference between heat and thermal energy is that thermal energy is not in the process of being transferred; it is not in transit, but remains as part of the internal energy of the system; heat, on the other hand, is energy in transit, i.e. energy in the process of being transferred from a hotter system.

The Acceleration of the system is 6.41 m/s².

Given,

α= 15°, m₁ = 7kg

β= 65°, m₂ = 11 kg

Let, a be the acceleration and T is the tensions at the end it's the cord.

Let, the mass m₂ be coming down along the inclined plane along the inclined surface towards downward m₂g sin β and the tension in the upward direction,

Resultant force, m₂a=m₂g sin β -T

11a=((11) ×g sin 65°) -T ...(i)

Now, considering the motion of m₁ which moves downwards, the forces are m₁g sinα, and T both are acting downwards.

Resultant force m₁a = m₁g sin α+T

7a =7g sin 15°+T ...(ii)

Solving both the equations by adding them,

18a=11gsin 65°+7g sin 15°-T+T

18a=11gsin 65°+7g sin 15°=115.45

a=115.45/18=6.41 m/s²

Hence, the Acceleration of the system is 6.41 m/s².

Which of these statements best represents the law of conservation of energy

Shkiper50 [21]

Energy cannot be created or destroyed. This statement is known as law of conservation of energy, and it implies that whenever a certain form of energy does change, the loss of this form of energy must have converted into an another type of energy. A typical example is an object falling to the ground: initially, the object has gravitational potential energy. As the object falls down, it loses potential energy (since its altitude from the ground decreases), but it acquires kinetic energy (because its velocity increases). In this example, potential energy has converted into kinetic energy, but the total energy of the object has remained constant.

Describe scarlar and vector quantites of how they are alike and how they are different

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Hello! Here are your answers!

SCALAR: Scalar quantities have a size or magnitude only.

VECTOR: Vector quantities have both magnitudes and direction.

Explanation:

They are alike as they are both used to explain physical quantities and represent the magnitudes or sizes of the physical quantities...

They are different as VECTOR quantities describe an objects DIRECTION as well as magnitude whilst SCALAR doesn't

ie...<u>SCALAR:</u> MASS, TIME

<u>VECTOR:</u> VELOCITY, ACCELERATION...

Two violinists are trying to play in tune. However, whenever they play their A string at the same time they hear a beat frequenc

kaheart [24]

Answer:

The possible frequencies for the A string of the other violinist is 457 Hz and 467 Hz.

(3) and (4) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Beat frequency f = 5.0 Hz

Frequency f'= 462 Hz

We need to calculate the possible frequencies for the A string of the other violinist

Using formula of frequency

$f'=f_{1}-f$ ...(I)

$f'=f_{1}+f$ ...(II)

Where, f= beat frequency

f₁ = frequency

Put the value in both equations

$f'=462-5=457\ Hz$

$f'=462+5=467\ Hz$

Hence, The possible frequencies for the A string of the other violinist is 467 Hz and 457 Hz.
