A water drops falls from the roof of a house during 3s, how high is the house?

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.

The wavelength of green light is 550 nm.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

(a) momentum of photon is 1.205 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

velocity of electron is 1323.88 m/s

momentum of the electron is 1.205 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

(b) momentum of photon is 1.506 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

velocity of electron is 1654.85 m/s

momentum of the electron is 1.506 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

(c) The momentum of the photon is equal to the momentum of the electron

Explanation:

(a)

wavelength of green light, λ = 550 nm

momentum of photon is given by;

$p = \frac{h}{\lambda}\\\\ p = \frac{6.626 *10^{-34}}{550*10^{-9}}\\\\p = 1.205 *10^{-27} \ kg.m/s$

velocity of electron is given by;

$P = \frac{h}{\lambda} \\\\mv = \frac{h}{\lambda}\\\\v = \frac{h}{m \lambda}\\\\v = \frac{6.626 *10^{-34}}{(9.1*10^{-31} )(550*10^{-9})}\\\\v = 1323.88 \ m/s$

momentum of the electron is given by;

p = mv

p = (9.1 x 10⁻³¹) (1323.88)

p = 1.205 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

(b)

wavelength of red light, λ = 440 nm

momentum of photon is given by;

$p = \frac{h}{\lambda}\\\\ p = \frac{6.626 *10^{-34}}{440*10^{-9}}\\\\p = 1.506 *10^{-27} \ kg.m/s$

velocity of electron is given by;

$v = \frac{6.626 *10^{-34}}{(9.1*10^{-31} )(440*10^{-9})}\\\\v = 1654.85 \ m/s$

momentum of the electron is given by;

p = mv

p = (9.1 x 10⁻³¹) (1654.85)

p = 1.506 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

(c) The momentum of the photon is equal to the momentum of the electron.

A 4-N object object swings on the end of a string as a simple pendulum. At the bottom of the swing, the tension in the string is

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given mg = 4N .

m = 4 / g

At the bottom of the swing let centripetal acceleration be a

T - mg = ma

9 - 4 = ma

5 = 4 a / g

a = 5g / 4

A 4.00-kg box sits atop a 10.0-kg box on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the two boxes and betwe

natta225 [31]

First, we have to calculate the normal forces on different surfaces.The normal force on the 4.00 kg, N1 = (4)(9.8) = 39.2 N. The normal force on the 10.0 kg, N2 = (14)(9.8) = 137.2 N. Looking at the 10.0 kg block, the static forces that counteract the pulling force equals the sum of the friction from the two surfaces. Fc = N1 * 0.80 + N2 * 0.80 = 141.12 N. Since the counter force is less than the pulling force, the blocks start to move and hence, kinetic frictions are considered.

Therefore, f1 = uk * N1 = (0.60)(39.2) = 23.52 N.

A solenoid that is 35 cm long and contains 450 circular coils 2.0 cm in diameter carries a 1.75-A current. (a) What is the magne

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) No of turns per metre

n = 450 / .35

= 1285.71

Magnetic field inside the solenoid

B = μ₀ n I

Where I is current

B = 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 1285.71 x 1.75

= 28.26 x 10⁻⁴ T

This is the uniform magnetic field inside the solenoid.

b )

Magnetic field around a very long wire at a distance d is given by the expression

B = ( μ₀ /4π ) X 2I / d

= 10⁻⁷ x 2 x ( 1.75 / .01 )

= .35 x 10⁻⁴ T

In the second case magnetic field is much less. It is due to the fact that in the solenoid magnetic field gets multiplied due to increase in the number of turns. In straight coil this does not happen .
