Because there is no gravity. The farther in space you go from Earth the less gravitational force there is. The technical term is microgravity.

What is the name of the force that is a combination of all forces that act on an object?

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

If the combination of all the forces acting on an object sums upto be zero, then the net force is known as <u>balanced force.</u>

If the combination of all the forces acting on an object is non-zero, then the net force is said to be <u>unbalanced force. </u>The unbalanced force causes the object change the state of rest or motion.

A ball is dropped from a tower that is 206 m high, How long does it take to reach the ground?

Slav-nsk [51]

It will take 6.42 s for the ball that is dropped from a height of 206 m to reach the ground.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (H) = 206 m

NOTE: Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

The time taken for the ball to get to the ground can be obtained as follow:

H = ½gt²

206 = ½ × 10 × t²

206 = 5 × t²

Divide both side by 5

$t^{2} = \frac{206}{5}\\\\ t^{2} = 41.2$

Take the square root of both side

$t = \sqrt{41.2}$

Therefore, it will take 6.42 s for the ball to get to the ground.

The photon energies used in different types of medical x-ray imaging vary widely, depending upon the application. Single dental

pav-90 [236]

A) $5.0\cdot 10^{-11} m$

The energy of an x-ray photon used for single dental x-rays is

$E=25 keV = 25,000 eV \cdot (1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV)=4\cdot 10^{-15} J$

The energy of a photon is related to its wavelength by the equation

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

$h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js$ is the Planck constant

$c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

Re-arranging the equation for the wavelength, we find

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{4\cdot 10^{-15}J}=5.0\cdot 10^{-11} m$

B) $2.0\cdot 10^{-11} m$

The energy of an x-ray photon used in microtomography is 2.5 times greater than the energy of the photon used in part A), so its energy is

$E=2.5 \cdot (4\cdot 10^{-15}J)=1\cdot 10^{-14} J$

And so, by using the same formula we used in part A), we can calculate the corresponding wavelength:

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{1\cdot 10^{-14}J}=2.0\cdot 10^{-11} m$

This experiment deals with the relationship between volume and temperature for a fixed amount of gas at constant pressure. Desig

Your experiment should keep one thing constant and measure the other. So vary the temp and measure the pressure. You will get a set of data that relates pressure with temp.

So
P and T are directly proportional.
