In the absence of air resistance or any other force on it, an object's acceleration is the acceleration of gravity ... <em>9.8 m/s² downward</em>.

It doesn't matter if the object rolled off a table, or fell out of an eagle's mouth, or got shot straight up out of a cannon, or LeBron threw it at the basket for a 3-pointer, or Justin Tucker kicked it for a field goal, or Tiger Woods chipped it for a bogey, or Billy Joe MacAllister heaved it straight down off the Tallahatchie Bridge with all his strength.

It doesn't matter how it got STARTED moving, or how fast it's going right now, or what direction it's going now.

If there's no air resistance, and no OTHER force on the object that can speed it up or slow it down, then it's in "free fall", and it's accelerating at 9.8 m/s² downward.

The size and direction of its MOTION doesn't matter. But the size and direction of its acceleration is 9.8 m/s² straight down.

An ac generator consists of a coil with 40 turns of wire, each with an area of 0.06 m2. The coil rotates in a uniform magnetic f
Reptile [31]

Answer:

331.75 V

Explanation:

Given:

Number of turns of the coil, N = 40 turns

Area, A = 0.06 m²

Magnetic Field, B = 0.4 T

Frequency, f = 55 Hz

                           Maximum induce emf, E₀ = NABω

but ω = 2πf

                           Maximum induce emf, E₀ = NAB(2πf₀)

                           Maximum induce emf, E₀ = 2πNABf₀

Where;

N is number of turns of the coil

A is area

B is magnetic field

ω is the angular velocity

f is the frequency

                                     E₀ = 2 × π × 40 × 0.06 × 0.4 × 55

                                     E₀ = 342.81 V

The maximum induced emf is 331.75 V

Assume that the blocks are accelerating, and the x components of their accelerations at a certain moment are a1x and a2x. find t
Serga [27]

we know that center of mass is given as

r = (m₁ r_{1x} + m₂ r_{2x})/(m₁ + m₂)

taking derivative both side relative to "t"

dr/dt = (m₁ dr_{1x}/dt + m₂ dr_{2x}/dt)/(m₁ + m₂)

v = (m₁ v_{1x} + m₂ v_{2x})/(m₁ + m₂)

taking derivative again relative to "t" both side

dv/dt = (m₁ dv_{1x}/dt + m₂ dv_{2x}/dt)/(m₁ + m₂)

a= (m₁ a_{1x} + m₂ a_{2x})/(m₁ + m₂)
