nasty-shy [4]4 years ago

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.

The electric current in a wire is 1.5A. How many electrons flow past a given point in a time of 2s?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The amount of electrons that flow in the given time is 3.0 C.

Explanation:

An electric current is defined as the ratio of the quantity of charge flowing through a conductor to the time taken.

i.e           I = \frac{Q}{t} ...................(1)

It is measure in Amperes and can be measured in the laboratory by the use of an ammeter.

In the given question, I = 1.5A, t = 2s, find Q.

From equation 1,

            Q = I × t

                = 1.5 × 2

               = 3.0 Coulombs

The amount of electrons that flow in the given time is 3.0 C.

A glass capillary tube with a diameter of 8.5 mm and length 8 cm is filled with a salt solution with a resistivity of 2.5 ?m. Wh
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The resistance is 3.5\times10^{-4}\ \Omega

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter of tube = 8.5 mm

Length = 8 cm

Resistivity = 2.5 m

We need to calculate the resistance

The resistance is equal to the product of the resistivity and length divided by the area of cross section .

In mathematical form,

R = \dfrac{\rho\times l}{A}

Where, \rho=resistivity

l = length

A = area of cross section

Put the value into the formula

R = \dfrac{2.5\times8\times10^{-2}}{3.14\times(\dfrac{8.5}{2}\times10^{-3})^2}

R=3526.32\ \Omega

R=3.5\times10^{-4}\ \Omega

Hence, The resistance is 3.5\times10^{-4}\ \Omega

2.5 gram sample of a radioactive element was formed in a 1960 explosion of an atomic bomb at Johnson Island in the Pacific Test
kow [346]

Answer:

0.15625 grams

Explanation:

Half life: It is related to the decay of radioactive material. The duration in which  half of the material will be degraded/decayed. That means after half life 50% of the radioactive material will be left. Here the half life is 28 years.

Initial quantity of the sample: 2.5 grams.

After 28 years, the leftover quantity = 1.25 grams

After 56 years, the leftover quantity = 0.625 grams

After 84 Years, the leftover quantity = 0.3125 grams

After 112 years, the leftover quantity = 0.15625 grams

Describe how pieces of rope move as waves pass
MaRussiya [10]
Well, as the waves move it moves the rope as if its trying to take shape of it. Since the rope it light it will move along the ocean and the ocean will keep pushing up on the rope. (even without the waves the water is pushing the rope up so it can take its shape)

Maybe that'll help
