What happen to the weight of a body when it is falling freely under the action of gravity?

Physics
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

where W-weight, m-mass of the object and g-acceleration produced due to the earth's gravity. ... This happens because the normal reaction force exerted on the object in the lift is equal to zero, and normal force equals to mg, which in turn equals the weight of the object.

Two point charges are fixed on the y axis: a negative point charge q1 = -25 μC at y1 = +0.18 m and a positive point charge q2 at
dedylja [7]

Answer:

50.91 \mu C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the net force exerted on q is known, we have the values and positions for q_{1} and q. So, making use of coulomb's law, we can calculate the magnitude of the force exerted byq_{1} on q. Then we can know the magnitude of the force exerted by q_{2} about q, finally this will allow us to know the magnitude of q_{2}

q_{1} exerts a force on q in +y direction, and q_{2} exerts a force on q in -y direction.

F_{1}=\frac{kq_{1} q }{d^2}\\F_{1}=\frac{(8.99*10^9)(25*10^{-6}C)(8.4*10^{-6}C)}{(0.18m)^2}=58.26 N\\

The net force on q is:

F_{T}=F_{1} - F_{2}\\25N=58.26N-F_{2}\\F_{2}=58.26N-25N=33.26N\\\mid F_{2} \mid=\frac{kq_{2}q}{d^2}

Rewriting for q_{2}:

q_{2}=\frac{F_{2}d^2}{kq}\\q_{2}=\frac{33.26N(0.34m)^2}{8.99*10^9\frac{Nm^2}{C^2}(8.4*10^{-6}C)}=50.91*10^{-6}C=50.91 \mu C

The particles that make up protons and neutrons are called
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Quark

Explanation:

In the past the proton,neutron and electron were believed to be indivisible. Quarks were later discovered to be particles that make up the proton and neutron. Quarks are known as fast moving points of energy and are usually joined to one another through gluons. Neutron has two down quarks and one up quark while proton has two up quarks and one down quark.
