Answer:
In free fall, mass is not relevant and there's no air resistance, so the acceleration the object is experimenting will be equal to the gravity exerted. If the object is falling on our planet, the value of gravity is approximately 9.81ms2 .
One of the many random useless factoids that I carry around
in my head is the factoid that 60 miles per hour is equivalent
to exactly 88 feet per second.
So in three seconds at that speed, you would cover exactly
(3 x 88) = 264 feet.
Answer:
Subtract the kinetic energy at the bottom from the potential energy loss. The remainder becomes frictional heat.
Potential energy loss:
M g H = 21.7*9.81*3.5 = 745.1 J
Kinetic energy at bottom of slide:
= (1/2) M v^2 = 52.5 J
Answer:
-6N
Explanation:
The force to the east is acting in the positive x-direction therefore it is positive. The force to the east is in the negative x-direction therefore it is negative. The net force is just the sum of the two so 3-9=-6
