The weight of a body of certain mass becomes zero in space.Why?

Physics
1 answer:
klasskru [66]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Weight is what you get when a certain amount of gravity is acting on that mass, and something, like the surface of a planet, is resisting that action. In space, when falling freely, there's nothing resisting the pull of gravity so weight disappears.

If a sprinter
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The height jumped by the sprinter is 5.10 meters.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the sprinter, v = 10 m/s

We need to find the height jumped by the sprinter his or her kinetic energy gets converted into upward motion. It can be calculated using conservation of energy as :

mv^2=mgh

h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h=\dfrac{(10)^2}{2\times 9.8}

h = 5.10 meters

So, the height jumped by the sprinter is 5.10 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different rainbow colors reflecting off
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of oil slick a thin layer of oil is formed on water . This thin layer creates a rainbow of colour . The phenomenon is due to interference of light waves , one reflected from the upper surface of oil and the other reflected from the lower surface of the oil.

For formation of bright colour

2 μ t = ( 2n + 1 ) λ / 2

μ is refractive index of oil ,  t is thickness of oil layer  λ is wave length of light falling on the layer .

given μ = 1.2 ,   λ = 750 x 10⁻⁹   ,

2 x 1.2 t = ( 2n + 1 ) 750 x 10⁻⁹ / 2

For minimum thickness n = 0

2.4 t = 375 x 10⁻⁹

t = 156.25 n m

B ) If the refractive index of layer of medium below oil is less than that of oil , the condition of formation of colour changes

The new condition is

2 μ t = n λ

2  x 1.5 t  = 750 nm ,         n = 1 for minimum wavelength .

t = 250 nm

C ) Light mostly transmitted means dark spot is formed at that point .

For that to be observed from water side , the condition is

2 μ t = ( 2n + 1 ) λ / 2

λ = 4μ t / ( 2n + 1 )

For maximum wavelength n = 0

λ = 4μ t

= 4 x 1.5 x 200 nm

= 1200 nm .

How many hydrogen atoms are found in two molecules of hydroxylamine, 2NH2OH?
Bogdan [553]
It would be six because in every one molecule, there are three atoms of hydrogen, so just double that and you have six.

Consider two copper wires. one has twice the length and twice the cross-sectional area of the other. how do the resistances of t
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

R = ρ L / A     where R is the resistance and ρ the resistivity:

R2 / R1 = (L2 / A2) / (L1 / A1) = L2 * A1 / (L1 * A2)

R2 / R1 =  (2 L * A) / (L * 2 A) = 1

Their resistances should be the same.
