On my science test, there is a bonus question that I want to get right. Why would it be a bad idea to skydive on the moon? Hint:
eduard

Answer:

Because there is no air resistance

Explanation:

When an object falls on Earth, there are essentially two forces acting on it:

- The force of gravity, downward, equal to the weight of the object:

W=mg

where m is the mass and g the acceleration due to gravity

- The air resistance, F, which acts upward, and whose magnitude is generally proportional to v, the speed of the object

When the object starts its fall, its initial speed is zero: v = 0, so the air resistance is also zero: F=0, and the object accelerates downward due to gravity.

However, as it accelerates downward, its speed increases, and so does the air resistance F. However, F is upward, opposite to the direction of motion, therefore it reduces the net acceleration of the object; at a certain point, the magnitude of the air resistance will become equal to the weight, so that

mg = F

and at that point, the net acceleration of the object will become zero: this means that the object will continue its fall at a constant velocity, called terminal velocity.

On the Moon instead, there is no air resistance: this means that for an object falling down, the speed keeps increasing due to the effect of gravity, and it will never reach a terminal value: therefore, the final velocity at the impact will be much higher than on the Earth, if we assume the two objects have been dropped from a very high altitude from the surface.

A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with an acceleration of 1.8 m/s^2. If she starts at rest, how far has she traveled in :
DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The acceleration of the toboggan, a=1.8\ m/s^2

Initial speed of the toboggan, u = 0

We need to find the distance covered by the toboggan. Using the second equation of motion as :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

At t = 1 s

s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 1^2

s_1=0.9\ m

At t = 2 s

s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 2^2

s_2=3.6\ m

At t = 3 s

s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 3^2

s_3=8.1\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

Light waves do not need a medium to travel through. true or false.
melamori03 [73]

Light travels in electromagnetic waves in the form of photons. What do photons travel in? Can a frequency have weight? Carry weight? According to Einstien a photon with energy proportional to its frequency basically explains ultraviolet light(among other things), so does that mean light travels within a "larger" version of itself?

We know that light doesn't need a medium through which to travel because the speed of light is experimentally constant: independent of the movement of the source or detector or the direction in which it travels.

Light contrasts with sound, which travels through the air (or some other material medium). If you're stationary with respect to the air, then the speed of sound is the same in all directions. But if you're moving with respect to the air, the speed of sound will be the same in all directions relative to the air---which means that sound coming up in front of you will seem faster and sound catching up to you from behind will seem slower.

If light were a disturbance in a medium, it would exhibit the same behaviour. But light never does---its speed is the same under all circumstances. So it does you no good to postulate an aether. You can still do it, but it makes the theory more complicated than necessary. The only reason to postulate an aether is that you're uncomfortable with the idea of waves not needing a medium. But our modern understanding of quantum mechanics is that all kinds of particles have a wavelike nature, so, if you accept that matter can travel through empty space, you should have no problem accepting the same for light.

so it's true
