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

Physics
1 answer:
Sloan [31]2 years 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.

A force of 6.0 N pulls a box 0.40 m along a frictionless plane that is inclined at 36°. What work is being done by the pulling f
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Expression of work done is

W = Fd cos\theta

Work done to move the sled is given as 1.94 J

Explanation:

As we know that the formula of work done is given as

W = Fd cos\theta

here we know that

F = 6 N

d = 0.4 m

\theta = 36 degree

so we will have

W = 6 \times 0.4 cos36

W = 1.94 J

What is the origin of the atomic emission spectrum of an element
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The electronic transition of an electron back to a lower energy level generates an emission spectrum.

Explanation:

The atomic emission spectrum¹ of an element has its origin when an electronic transition² occurs. An electron in an atom or ion³will absorb energy coming from a source and pass to a higher energy level, the electron, upon returning to its base state will emit a photon⁴ or a series of photons.

Hence, that leads to the formation of an emission spectrum.

Remember that an electron has energy levels in an atom or ion, at which each energy level has a specific value.

The energy values will differ from one element to another. So, it can be concluded that each element has a unique pattern of emission lines.

Key terms:        

¹Spectrum: Decomposition of light in its characteristic colors.

²Electronic transition: When an electron passes from one energy level to another, either for the emission or absorption of a photon.

³Ion: An atom electrically charged due to the gain or loss of electrons.

⁴Photon: Elementary particle that constitutes light.

Why do scientists not use US customary units when reporting their data?
Marianna [84]
From britaññica it said time and money. They didn’t have either to switch over from the industrial period and never did. Also from my own person reasoning i think most of the world uses not US customary, so to make stuff more accessible. hope this helps!
