Describe free fall and weightlessness ?​

Physics
1 answer:
yaroslaw [1]3 years ago
8 0

weightlessness is the complete or near complete absense of the sensation of weight.

when in freefall,the only force acting upon your body is the force of gravity a noun contact force.since the gravity cannot be felt without any other opposing forces,you would have no sensation of it.you would feel weightless when in a state of freefall.

In general it is best to conceptualize vectors as arrows in space, and then to make calculations with them using their component
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The calculated vectors are:

\vec{A}-\vec{B}=(3,-5,-4)

\vec{B}-\vec{C}=(-5,4,0)

-\vec{A}+\vec{B}-\vec{C}=(-6,4,3)

3\vec{A}-2\vec{C}=(-3,-2,-11)

Explanation:

To operate with vectors, you sum or rest component to component. To multiply scalars with vectors, you distribute the scalar with each component of the vector. These are the following rules you must apply in these cases:

\vec{V}+\vec{W}=(V_1,V_2,V_3)+(W_1,W_2,W_3)=(V_1+W_1,V_2+W_2,V_3+W_3) (1)

\vec{V}-\vec{W}=(V_1,V_2,V_3)-(W_1,W_2,W_3)=(V_1-W_1,V_2-W_2,V_3-W_3) (2)

\alpha\cdot\vec{V}=\alpha\cdot(V_1,V_2,V_3)=(\alpha\cdot V_1,\alpha\cdot V_2,\alpha\cdot V_3) (3)

The operations in these cases are:

\vec{A}-\vec{B}=(1,0, -3)-(-2,5,1)=(3,-5,-4)

\vec{B}-\vec{C}=(-2,5,1)-(3,1,1)=(-5,4,0)

-\vec{A}+\vec{B}-\vec{C}=-(1,0, -3)+(-2,5,1)-(3,1,1)=(-6,4,3)

3\vec{A}-2\vec{C}=3(1,0, -3)-2(3,1,1)=(3,0, -9)-(6,2,2)=(-3,-2,-11)

True or false? One reason gases are easy to compress is because their particles have higher energy.
erik [133]

True

Why are gases easy to compress in terms of particles?

Particles are far apart from each other because there are very weak forces of attraction between them. They move fast in all directions. Because of this, gases don't have a definite shape or volume and fill any container. Because there is lots of free space between particles, gases can easily be compressed.

A bucket filled woth water seems light while it sinks into water.Also show their relation using formula
slavikrds [6]

Answer: This phenomenon happens due to upthrust exerted by water.

Explanation:

We know that,

Liquid Pressure is directly proportional to the height of the vertical column in the liquid.(P∝h)

When a bucket filled water is sunk into the water container, there occur difference in the pressure in top and bottom of the water container. Due to this, water exerts an upward force on the bucket filled with water. This is called Uprthrust.

Upthrust on the bucket makes the bucket filled with water lose some of it's weight and causes apparent loss in weight.

Hence, the bucket filled with water seems light while it sinks into water.

What is the difference between a radiological weapon and a nuclear weapon?
AVprozaik [17]

What is the difference between the nuclear material in a bomb, versus a reactor? A nuclear reactor works by using the energy that is released when the nucleus of a heavy atom splits. That process is called fission. In reactors, fission occurs when uranium atoms are hit by slow-moving neutrons.

The electrical conductivity of a substance depends on the ability of the ____ in it to move. A) electrons B) neutrons C) protons
musickatia [10]

The correct answer to the question is A) Electrons.

EXPLANATION:

The electrical conductivity of a metal or any substance depends on the free electron concentration of the metals.

Free electrons are those electrons which are present in the conduction band of the metals. These electrons experience less amount of force attraction from the nucleus. Protons and neutrons do not  contribute anything to the current conduction in a metal.These sub atomic particles are bound to the nuclei of atoms.

When we maintain potential difference across the two ends of a conductor, the free electrons are drifted towards the positive terminal of the battery.

Hence, electrical conductivity of a substance is the ability of the electrons to move inside the substance.

More is the conductivity of the substance, the lesser is the resistance to the flow of electrons inside the substance, and vice versa.
