17. suppose you were standing on a scale in an elevator in free fall. what would the scale read? 18. explain why the feeling weightlessness in free fall is not the same as truly being weightless. 19. in what ways are roller coaster rides similar to and different from training simulations in a nasa plane?

What would the scale read? zero

18 In free fall you are being pulled by a gravity. "Truly" weightless presumably happens in deep space where there is nothing to pull you.

19 coasters accelerate down to simulate weight loss/zeroised. As do NASA planes,

Roller coasters are for fun seekers. NASA is for science

Answer from: Quest

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.

Arotating space station is said to create “artificial gravity”—a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be crudely similar to gravity. the outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. if the space station is 200 m in diameter, what angular velocity would produce an “artificial gravity” of 9.80 m/s^{2} 2 at the rim?

Sawyer is studying diffraction. he draws a diagram of a plane wave to show how light waves travel. which best describes sawyer’s error? the wave fronts should be perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing to the left. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing downward. the wave fronts should be both parallel and perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move.
