Is there a frame of reference one can go into that seems to eliminate gravity as Newton described it?

Answer:

Yes such a frame exists: a free-fall (free-float frame) frame. This frame of reference is subject only to gravity and no forces such as electromagnetic forces or nuclear forces.

At which position is the LOWEST potential energy?
Ad libitum [116K]
The answer is position 3, because it is at its lowest point.

Potential Energy is “stored energy.” It is energy that is ready to be converted or released as another type of energy. We most often think of potential energy as gravitational potential energy. When objects are higher up, they are ready to fall back down. When you stretch an object and it has a tendency to return to its original shape, it is said to have elastic potential energy. Chemical potential energy is the stored energy in a substance’s chemical structure that can be released in a chemical reaction or as heat.

Achilles and the tortoise are having a race. The tortoise can run 1 mile (or whatever the Hellenic equivalent of this would be)
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Surely Achilles will catch the Tortoise, in 400 seconds

Explanation:

The problem itself reduces the interval of time many times, almost reaching zero. However, if we assume the interval constant, then it is clear that in two hours Achilles already has surpassed the Tortoise (20 miles while the Tortoise only 3).

To calculate the time, we use kinematic expression for constant speed:

x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{tor}v_{tor}=1+t_{tor}\\x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{ach}v_{ach}=10t_{ach}

The moment that Achilles catch the tortoise is found by setting the same final position for both (and same time as well, since both start at the same time):

1+t=10t\\t=1/9 hour=0.11 hours

The main water line enters a house on the first floor. The line has a gauge pressure of 1.94 x 105 Pa. (a) A faucet on the secon
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer

given,

gauge pressure =   1.94 x 10⁵ Pa

Pressure due to 4.90 m column of water

= ρ g h

= (4.90) x  (1000)  x (9.8) Pa

= 48020 Pa

Gauge pressure of second floor faucet

= 1.94 x 10⁵Pa - 48020 Pa

P_g= 145980 Pa

( b )

Let h = height of faucet from which no water can flow even if open

P = ρ g h

1.94 x 10⁵  = h x(1000) x (9.8)

h = 19.79 m

A basketball is tossed up into the air, falls freely, and bounces from the wooden floor. From the moment after the player releas
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Tha ball- earth/floor system.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ball is the force of gravity when ignoring air resistance. At the moment the player releases the ball, until it reaches the top of its bounce, the small system for which the momentum is conserved is the ball- floor system. The balls exerts and equal and opposite force on the floor. <u>Here the ball hits the floor, because in any collision the momentum is conserved. Moment of the ball -floor system is conserved</u>. Mutual gravitation bring the ball and floor together in one system. As the ball moves downwards, the earth moves upwards, although with an acceleration on the order of 1025 times smaller than that of the ball. The two objects meet, rebound and separate.
