An elephant's legs have a reasonably uniform cross section from top to bottom, and they are quite long, pivoting high on the ani

mal's body. When an elephant moves at a walk, it uses very little energy to bring its legs forward, simply allowing them to swing like pendulums. For fluid walking motion, this time should be half the time for a complete stride; as soon as the right leg finishes swinging forward, the elephant plants the right foot and begins swinging the left leg forward.

An amusement park ride raises people high into the air, suspends them for a moment, and then drops them at a rate of free-fall a
blsea [12.9K]

Answer: apparent weighlessness.


Explanation:


1) Balance of forces on a person falling:


i) To answer this question we will deal with the assumption of non-drag force (abscence of air).


ii) When a person is dropped, and there is not air resistance, the only force acting on the person's body is the Earth's gravitational attraction (downward), which is the responsible for the gravitational acceleration (around 9.8 m/s²).


iii) Under that sceneraio, there is not normal force acting on the person (the normal force is the force that the floor or a chair exerts on a body to balance the gravitational force when the body is on it).


2) This is, the person does not feel a pressure upward, which is he/she does not feel the weight: freefalling is a situation of apparent weigthlessness.


3) True weightlessness is when the object is in a place where there exists not grativational acceleration: for example a point between two planes where the grativational forces are equal in magnitude but opposing in direction and so they cancel each other.


Therefore, you conclude that, assuming no air resistance, a person in this ride experiencing apparent weightlessness.

A man on the Moon observes two spaceships coming toward him from opposite directions at speeds of 0.600c and 0.600c. What is the
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

If we use the equation for the transformation of velocities for moving frames:

v' = (v - u) / (1 - u * v / c^2) where we measure the speed of v' approaching from the left where v is in a frame moving at -u towards v'

v' = (.6 c - (-.6 c)) / (1 - (-.6 c) * .6 c / c^2) = 1.2 c / (1 + .6 * .6)

or v' = 1.2 c / (1 + .36) = .88 c

v is approaching from the left at .6 c in the reference frame and the other frame approaches from the right at -.6 c with speed u  (-.6 c) and we measure the speed of v as seen in the frame moving to the left

Light of wavelength 630 nm falls on two slits and produces an interference pattern in which the third-order bright red fringe is
goblinko [34]

Answer:

d \frac{x}{l} = m×  λ⇒ d = λ ×m×l / x

= 630×10^{-9} m × 3×3m/ 45×10^{-3} m

= 1.26×10^{-4}m

Explanation:

the above calculation is based on Young’s double slit experiment where the two slits provide two coherent light sources which results either constructive interference or destructive interference when passing through a double slit.
