(C) Air Resistance
<u>Explanation:</u>
When an object falls through air, air resistance acts on it in upward direction. When air resistance acts, acceleration during a fall will be less than g because air resistance affects the motion of the falling objects by slowing it down. Air resistance depends on two important factors - the speed of the object and its surface area. Increasing the surface area of an object decreases its speed.
When the spring is extended by 44.5 cm - 34.0 cm = 10.5 cm = 0.105 m, it exerts a restoring force with magnitude R such that the net force on the mass is
∑ F = R - mg = 0
where mg = weight of the mass = (7.00 kg) g = 68.6 N.
It follows that R = 68.6 N, and by Hooke's law, the spring constant is k such that
k (0.105 m) = 68.6 N ⇒ k = (68.6 N) / (0.105 m) ≈ 653 N/m
False, you pass a light through a mixture If the light bounces off the particles, you will see the light shine through and you have a colloid mixture
