Imagine that you are sitting in a closed room (no windows, no doors) when, magically, it is lifted from Earth and sent accelerat

ing through space with an acceleration of 1g (9.8 m/s2). According to Einstein's equivalence principle, which of the following is true?
You won't feel any change and will have no way to know that you've left the earth.
You'll feel a force that will cause your head to repeatedly bang into the ceiling.
You'll know that you left the Earth because you'll be floating weightlessly in your room.
You'll know that you left the Earth because when you drop a ball it will fall sideways.

Answer:

You won't feel any change and will have no way to know that you've left the earth.

Explanation:

One of the formulations of the principle says that the properties of an inertial system under the effect of a gravitational field are the same as a non-inertial(accelerated) system. The inertial system under the effect of a gravitational field occurs when you are in the room on earth, and when the room is sent accelerating through space you have the non-inertial system. Both have the same properties, so it's impossible to tell the difference if you can't look outside.

3.Cuanto Calor pierden 514 ml de agua si su temperatura desciende de 12°C a 11°C. Expresa el resultado en calorias.
Scrat [10]

Answer:

514 cal

Explanation:

In order to calculate the lost heat by the amount of water you first take into account the following formula:

Q=mc(T_2-T_1)         (1)

Q: heat lost by the amount of water = ?

m: mass of the water

c: specific heat of water = 1cal/g°C

T2: final temperature of water = 11°C

T1: initial temperature = 12°C

The amount of water is calculated by using the information about the density of water (1g/ml):

m=\rho V=(1g/ml)(514ml)=514g

Then, you replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

Q=(514g)(1cal/g\°C)(11\°C-12\°C)=-514cal

The amount of water losses a heat of 514 cal

xenn [34]

Answer:

The bucket  located in the direction opposite of displacement of the rod for balancing will be heavier.

Explanation:

Moment of a force is directly proportional to it's distance from the point about which rotation takes place. In the given case the man increases the lever arm(distance from point of rotation of the force) to balance the moment of the lighter bucket. Thus in the direction of the increase the lighter bucket will be placed.

It's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. You've both been taking physics, so she asks what you
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

0.0984

Explanation:

From the first diagram attached below; a free flow diagram shows the interpretation of this question which will be used  to solve this question.

From the diagram, the horizontal component of the force is:

F_X = F_{cos \ \theta}

Replacing 42°  for θ and 87.0° for F

F_X =87.0 \ N \ *cos \ 42 ^\circ

F_X =64.65 \ N

On the other hand, the vertical component  is ;

F_Y = Fsin \ \theta

Replacing 42°  for θ and 87.0° for F

F_Y =87.0 \ N \ *sin \ 42 ^\circ

F_Y =58.21  \ N

However, resolving the vector, let A be the be the component of the mutually perpendicular directions.

The magnitude of the two components is shown in the second attached diagram below and is now be written as A cos θ and A sin θ

The expression for the frictional force is expressed as follows:

f = \mu \ N

Where;

\mu is said to be the coefficient of the friction

N = the  normal force

Similarly the normal reaction (N) = mg - F sin θ

Replacing F_Y \ for \ F_{sin \  \theta}. The normal reaction can now be:

N = mg \ - \ F_Y

By balancing the forces, the horizontal component of the force equals to frictional force.

The horizontal component of the force is given as follows:

F_X = \mu \ ( mg - \ F_Y)

Making \mu the subject of the formular in the above equation; we have the following:

\mu \ = \ \frac{F_X}{mg - F_Y}

Replacing the following values: i.e

F_X \ = \ 64.65 \  N

m = 73 Kh

g  = 9.8 m/s²

F_Y = \ 58.21 N

Then:

\mu \ = \ \frac{64.65 N}{(73.0 kg)(9.8m/s^2) - (58.21 \ N)}

\mu = 0.0984

Thus, the coefficient of friction is = 0.0984

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Buffy > Aiko > Chandra > Freja > Evita

Explanation:

Beats occur when two waves of nearby frequencies overlap. The number of beats per second is equal to the difference in the frequency.

Let

f= Frequency of Kira

f_1= Frequency of Aiko

The beat frequency of Kira and Aiko is therefore,

f_{beat}=|f_2-f_1|

Substituting  f  for  f_2  and 3Hz for f_{beat} , we get

3Hz=|f-f_1|\\f_1=f+3Hz

From the above equation, we see that beats increase

when

f_2 = Frequency of Chandra

The beat frequency of Kira and Chandra is therefore,

1Hz=|f-f_2|\\f_2=f-1Hz

From the above equation, we see that beats decrease

When

f_3= Frequency of Evita

The beat frequency of Kira and Evita is therefore,

5Hz=|f-f_3|\\f_3=f-5Hz

From the above equation, we see that beats decrease

When

f_4= Frequency of Freja

The beat frequency of Kira and Freja is therefore,

3Hz=|f-f_4|\\f_4=f-3Hz

From the equation above, we see that beats decrease

When

f_5= Frequency of Buffy

The beat frequency of Kira and Buffy becomes,

4Hz=|f-f_5|\\f_5=f+4Hz

From the equation above, we see that beats increase

Hence, the rank of members based on initial frequencies from largest to smallest is Buffy > Aiko > Chandra > Freja > Evita
