An object that is in free fall seems to be

1 answer:

5 0

<span>An object that is in free fall seems to be weightless, even though the
usual force of gravity is acting on it.

If the falling object happens to be a person, then every part of him is
falling at the same rate, so none of his internal organs are pressing
against anything like they normally do, and he has no sensation of weight.

If a bathroom scale happens to be falling with him and he places it under
his feet, it won't read anything, since the scale and the person are both
falling at the same rate. </span>

A wind turbine works by slowing the air that passes its blades and converting much of the extracted kinetic energy to electric e

ddd [48]

Answer:

2649600 Joules

Explanation:

Efficiency = 40%

m = Mass of air = 92000 kg

v = Velocity of wind = 12 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 92000\times 12^2\\\Rightarrow K=6624000\ J$

The kinetic energy of the wind is 6624000 Joules

The wind turbine extracts 40% of the kinetic energy of the wind

$E=0.4\times K\\\Rightarrow E=0.4\times 6624000\\\Rightarrow E=2649600\ J$

The energy extracted by the turbine every second is 2649600 Joules

The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. Being positively charged, the protons repel each other. The nucleus should fly apart

Arte-miy333 [17]

this is due to the existence of other forces called the strong nuclear forces that overcomes the repulsion forces between the protons and keeps the nucleons holding to each other also there is a type of energy that is called the nuclear binding energy and this energy also works on binding the components of the nucleus together

A burglar attempts to drag a 108 kg metal safe across a polished wood floor Assume that the coefficient of static friction is 0.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

2.00 m/s²

Explanation:

Given

The Mass of the metal safe, M = 108kg

Pushing force applied by the burglar, F = 534 N

Co-efficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_k$ = 0.3

Now,

The force against the kinetic friction is given as:

$f = \mu_k N = u_k Mg$

Where,

N = Normal reaction

g= acceleration due to the gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

$f = 0.3\times108\times9.8$

$f = 317.52N$

Now, the net force on to the metal safe is

$F_{Net}= F-f$

Substituting the values in the equation we get

$F_{Net}= 534N-317.52N$

$F_{Net}= 216.48$

also,

$F_{Net}= M\times$ acceleration of the safe

Therefore, the acceleration of the metal safe will be

acceleration of the safe= $\frac{F_{Net}}{M}$

acceleration of the safe= $\frac{216.48}{108}$

acceleration of the safe= $2.00 m/s^2$

Hence, the acceleration of the metal safe will be 2.00 m/s²

Comparing sound waves with different frequencies and wavelengths traveling through air,

aleksklad [387]

Explanation:

The speed of sound wave only depends on the property of the medium like density and the bulk modulus of the medium particle. The speed of sound also depends on the temperature of the medium.

On comparing sound waves with different frequencies and wavelengths traveling through air, the speed of the wave doesn’t depend on the frequency or the wavelength. Hence, the correct option is (1).
