What happens to gravity when someone jumps up?

Answer:

The direct answer to the question as written is as follows: nothing happens to gravity when someone jumps up - gravity continues exerting a force on the body of that particular someone proportional to (mass of someone) x (mass of Earth) / (distance squared). What you might be asking, however, is what is the net force acting on the body of someone jumping up. At the moment of someone jumping up there is an upward acceleration, i.e., an upward-directed force which counteracts the gravitational force - this is the net force ( a result of the jump force minus gravity). From that moment on, only gravity acts on the body. The someone moves upward gradually decelerating to the downward gravitational acceleration until they reaches the peak of the jump (zero velocity). Then, back to Earth.

Can someone help on this I'm really stuck

Here, "Wavelength is same for both waves" it is the distance between two crests or two consecutive troughs, so, it is constant for both of them, you can easily figure it out.

In short, Your Answer would be "Wavelength"

Hope this helps!

7. When initially-unpolarized light passes through three polarizing filters, each oriented at 45 degree angles from the precedin

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the intensity of unpolarised light be I₀ . After passing through the first polarising filter , the intensity is I₀ / 2 .

After second filter , the intensity will be I₀ / 2 x cos²45 = I₀ / 4

After third filter , the intensity will be I₀ / 4 x cos²45 = I₀ / 8 .

So,

1 / 8 the of initial light passes through the last filter .

Dafna1 [17]

A group of skydiver are riding in a helicopter up to the spot form which they will jump. As they ride upwards. their gravitational potential energy increases.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational potential energy refers exerted energy on any object rising from the surface of Earth. It is the measurement of potential energy of any object depending on its position.

We can also define gravitational potential energy as the amount of energy required to raise an object to certain level from the surface of Earth or the work done to raise the object to some position from a position of reference. The formula for calculating the gravitational potential energy is

$\text {Gravitational potential energy}=m g \Delta h$

Here, m is the object's mass, g -the acceleration and $\Delta h$ - the object's distance from the Earth's surface.

So from this formula, it can be confirmed that if the helicopter carrying skydivers are made to ride upwards, then their gravitational potential energy will increase as the distance of helicopter from the Earth's surface is increased on riding the helicopter upwards.

I would say C and A.

It’s the only option that’s the correct length apart.
