What two vertical forces act on a falling leaf?(1 point)

Physics
1 answer:
Sloan [31]1 year ago
5 0

Option C. Weight, Friction are the vertical forces that act on the leaf falling.

<h3>What are vertical forces?</h3>

These are forces that act in the vertical plane, which is perpendicular to the ground. There are at least two vertical forces acting. Gravitational force is provided by the earth and always acts downwards.

The weight, W (force) acting on the leaf is as a result of the product of the mass(m) of the leaf and the acceleration due to gravity (g).

Mathematically; W = mg

Friction in the form of air resistance also try to stop or reduce this acceleration due to gravity (g) on the falling leaf and it acts upwards.

In conclusion, Weight and Friction (air resistance) are the two vertical forces acting on a falling leaf.

According to Lenz's law, an induced current in the direction depicted in the picture would be created when: a. An external downw
LenKa [72]

Answer:

C. An external downward field is created or an external downward field is removed

Explanation:

As we can see that from the attached figure that the induced current would be counter clockwise. So the field occur because of induced current i.e. out of page. This represent that the current is induced in order to rise the flux out of the direction of the page

Therefore because of the external field, the field out of page & flux would be reducing or the external upward field is eliminated

So option C is correct

In outer space, a piece of rock continues moving at the same velocity for
Ray Of Light [21]

The absence of external force in the outer space, allows the piece of rock to continue moving at the same velocity for thousands of years.

<h3>Absence of external force on the outer space</h3>

The outer space is almost an absolute vacuum, because it's nearly empty. There is no matter such as air in the outer space that will provide an external force needed to change the velocity of the piece of rock.

From Newton's first law of motion, an object in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, will continue in that state unless it is acted upon by an external force.

Thus, the absence of external force in the outer space, allows the piece of rock to continue moving at the same velocity for thousands of years.
