A) Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.

True

Reason : as the falling object approach the ground, acceleration due to gravity in down direction acts on it and accelerate it.

B) The weight of an object increases as it moves away from the ground.

False

Reason : As the object moves away from the ground, acceleration due to gravity acting on the object decreases. since the weight directly depends on the acceleration due to gravity, hence the weight decreases too.

C) Lighter objects experience a lower acceleration than heavier objects.

False

Reason : Since acceleration due to gravity is independent of the mass.

D) The mass of an object increases as it moves closer to the ground.

False

Reason : Since mass of an object is independent of the acceleration due to gravity.

Option (a) is correct.

Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.This is because of the force of gravity acting on the falling objects. so the velocity of these objects increases continuously as they approach the ground. the acceleration acting on the falling objects is a constant ( close to the surface of earth) and is called as acceleration due to gravity denoted by g. value of g=9.8 m/s².

An object, initially at rest moves 250m in 17s. What is it's acceleration?
Gekata [30.6K]
With the values you've given, only velocity can be found.
Acceleration is rate of change of velocity

d= 250s
t= 17s

a= d/t
 =\frac{250}{17}
 = 4.7 \frac{m}{s}

a ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 45.0 m tall and lands 24.0 m from the base. What was the ball´s initia
Sliva [168]

ball drops 45m under g=10m/s/s

45=1/2x10xt^2 ... application of kinematic equaion from rest

90/10=t^2

t=3

24.0 m in 3 secs => 8m/s no air resistance

A wire 6.60 m long with diameter of 2.05 mm has a resistance of 0.0310 Ω.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

1.551×10^-8 Ωm

Explanation:

Resistivity of a material is expressed as shown;.

Resistivity = RA/l

R is the resistance of the material

A is the cross sectional area

l is the length of the wire.

Given;

R = 0.0310 Ω

A = πd²/4

A = π(2.05×10^-3)²/4

A = 0.000013204255/4

A = 0.00000330106375

A = 3.30×10^-6m

l = 6.60m

Substituting this values into the formula for calculating resistivity.

rho = 0.0310× 3.30×10^-6/6.60

rho = 1.023×10^-7/6.60

rho = 1.551×10^-8 Ωm

Hence the resistivity of the material is 1.551×10^-8 Ωm
