The answer is apparent weight is zero.

You are still accelerating downwards at 9.8m/s^2 (if you are on Earth).

You still are being affected by the Earth's gravity.

Not all because of the previous two statements.

Not none because apparent weight is zero as you are falling.

Inside a freely falling runaway elevator, your <em>apparent weight is zero,</em> and you have no way to tell that you're inside a freely falling elevator.

Your ACTUAL acceleration is the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s² down), but you have no way to test it or measure it.

All you can tell is that you feel weightless. Any experiment you can do inside the elevator shows you that Newton's laws of motion and gravity are all true, and that electromagnetic waves behave normally.

Match each term to the best description

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction = Magnitude depends on the interacting materials

Friction = A force that acts parallel to the surface.

kinetic friction = A force that is constant regardless of the applied force

Normal = A force that acts perpendicular to the surface

Static friction = A force that increases as applied force increases up to some maximum value

Explanation:

Let's define all the forces, and then let's solve the problem.

Normal force:

When an object rests on some place (like a book on the table) the force that causes the book to not fall through the table is called the normal force, which is usually equal to the weight of the object and acts perpendicular to the surface where the object is resting.

Friction force.

When an object moves (or tries to move) parallel to a surface, such that the object is in contact with that surface, there appears a force that opposes to the movement (the force is parallel to the surface, and in the opposite direction to the movement).

And this force can be written as:

F = -N*μ

Where μ is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force.

If the object is not moving yet (but there is applied a force that would move the object) the coefficient is called the coefficient of static friction which increases in a given range, until it can't keep increasing and the object starts to move, while if the object is moving, the coefficient is called the coefficient of kinetic friction and it is constant, where usually the first one is larger than the second, and these coefficients depend on both materials, the surface one and the object one.

Then we have two friction forces, one called the kinetic friction and the other called the static friction.

Then:

Coefficient of friction = Magnitude depends on the interacting materials

Friction = A force that acts parallel to the surface.

kinetic friction = A force that is constant regardless of the applied force

Normal = A force that acts perpendicular to the surface

Static friction = A force that increases as applied force increases up to some maximum value

Points a and b lie in a region where the y-component of the electric field is Ey=α+β/y2. The constants in this expression have t

Drupady [299]

Answer:

V_{a} - V_{b} = 89.3

Explanation:

The electric potential is defined by

$V_{b} - V_{a}$ = - ∫ E .ds

In this case the electric field is in the direction and the points (ds) are also in the direction and therefore the angle is zero and the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product.

V_{b} - V_{a} = - ∫ E ds

We substitute

V_{b} - V_{a} = - ∫ (α + β/ y²) dy

We integrate

V_{b} - V_{a} = - α y + β / y

We evaluate between the lower limit A 2 cm = 0.02 m and the upper limit B 3 cm = 0.03 m

V_{b} - V_{a} = - α (0.03 - 0.02) + β (1 / 0.03 - 1 / 0.02)

V_{b} - V_{a} = - 600 0.01 + 5 (-16.67) = -6 - 83.33

V_{b} - V_{a} = - 89.3 V

As they ask us the reverse case

V_{b} - V_{a} = - V_{b} - V_{a}

V_{a} - V_{b} = 89.3
