Answer:
- apples falling from trees
- people's feet touching the ground
- sky divers moving toward the ground
- balls bending downward after being thrown
Explanation:
When a space ship is accelerating in space, there is a force known as Inertia that kicks in. Inertia will mirror the effects of gravity on the ship even if there is no gravitational field effect such that anything that would happen where there is gravity, would continue to happen.
This means that apples will fall from trees, people's feet will touch the ground, sky divers will be pulled downwards and balls will bend downwards when thrown as well. These are the same effects expected on earth where gravity pulls things towards the earth's core.
Answer:
The tangential speed of the tack is 8.19 m/s.
Explanation:
The wheel rotates 3.37 times a second that means wheel complete 3.37 revolutions in a second. Therefore, the angular speed ω of the wheel is given as follows:
Use the relation of angular speed with tangential speed to find the tangential speed of the tack.
The tangential speed v of the tack is given by following expression
v = ω r
Here, r is the distance to the tack from axis of rotation.
Substitute 21.174 rad/s for ω, and 0.387 m for r in the above equation to solve for v.
v = 21.174 × 0.387
v = 8.19m/s
Thus, The tangential speed of the tack is 8.19 m/s.
Explanation: Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. This is also known as the law of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or remain in motion.
