TRUE or FALSE: Feeling "weightless" can be the result of accelerating downwards towards Earth.

1 answer:

4 0

I believe it would be false because in outer space, everything is weightless due to the weak gravitational force which makes things float in the air. Weightless means no weight to it and if we’re accelerating down that means the gravitational is working but in this case it would probably be false

The answer is letter C. <span>A train travels from the bottom of a hill to the top of a hill, its moves slower by the time it reaches the top is an example of negative acceleration.

In physics, acceleration can be described as an objects change of velocity. When an object gains velocity, it is positive acceleration, and negative acceleration for the opposite.

Answer:

Time of flight A is greatest

Explanation:

Let u₁ , u₂, u₃ be their initial velocity and θ₁ , θ₂ and θ₃ be their angle of projection. They all achieve a common highest height of H.

H = u₁² sin²θ₁ /2g

H = u₂² sin²θ₂ /2g

H = u₃² sin²θ₃ /2g

On the basis of these equation we can write

u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂=u₃ sinθ₃

For maximum range we can write

D = u₁² sin2θ₁ /g

1.5 D = u₂² sin2θ₂ / g

2 D =u₃² sin2θ₃ / g

1.5 D / D = u₂² sin2θ₂ /u₁² sin2θ₁

1.5 = u₂ cosθ₂ /u₁ cosθ₁ ( since , u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂ )

u₂ cosθ₂ >u₁ cosθ₁

u₂ sinθ₂ < u₁ sinθ₁

2u₂ sinθ₂ / g < 2u₁ sinθ₁ /g

Time of flight B < Time of flight A

Similarly we can prove

Time of flight C < Time of flight B

Hence Time of flight A is greatest .

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to momentum, momentum and Force. Mathematically the Impulse can be described as

$I = F*t$

Where,

F= Force

t= time

At the same time the moment can be described as a function of mass and velocity, that is

$P = m\Delta v \rightarrow P=m(v_1-v_2)$

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

From equilibrium the impulse is equal to the momentum, therefore

$I = p$

$Ft = m(v_1-v_2)$

PART A) Since the body ends at rest, we have the final speed is zero, so the momentum would be

$p=m(v_1-v_2)$

$p = 75*0.15$

$p = 1125Kg\cdot m/s$

Therefore the magnitude of the person's impulse is 1125Kg.m/s

PART B) From the equation obtained previously we have that the Force would be:

$Ft = m(v_1-v_2)$

$F(0.025)= 1125$

$F= 45000N$

Therefore the magnitude of the average force the airbag exerts on the person is 45000N

Water ice has a density of 0.91 g/cm2, so it will float in liquid water. Imagine you have a cube of ice, 10 cm on a side. a. Wha

Reptile [31]

Answer:

(i) W = 8.918 N

(ii) $V = 9.1 \times 10^{-4} m^3$

(iii) d = 9.1 cm

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that weight of cube is given as

$W = mg$

$W = \rho V g$

here we know that

$\rho = 0.91 g/cm^3$

$Volume = L^3$

$Volume = 10^3 = 1000 cm^3$

now the mass of the ice cube is given as

$m = 0.91 \times 1000 = 910 g$

now weight is given as

$W = 0.910 \times 9.8 = 8.918 N$

Part b)

Weight of the liquid displaced must be equal to weight of the ice cube

Because as we know that force of buoyancy = weight of the of the liquid displaced

$W_{displaced} = 8.918 N$

So here volume displaced is given as

$\rho_{water}Vg = 8.918$

$1000(V)9.8 = 8.918$

$V = 9.1 \times 10^{-4} m^3$

Part c)

Let the cube is submerged by distance "d" inside water

So here displaced water weight is given as

$W = \rho_{water} (L^2 d) g$

$8.918 = 1000(0.10^2 \times d) 9.8$

$d = 0.091 m$

so it is submerged by d = 9.1 cm inside water
