"Free fall" means that gravity is the ONLY force acting on the object. If there's air resistance, then it isn't free-fall.
Objects that fall near earths surface are ALWAYS falling through air, unless they're inside some kind of a vacuum chamber with all the air removed from it.
Answer:
a = 0.1067 [m/s²]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must first draw a free body diagram with the forces acting on it.
a)
In the attached image we can find the free body diagram.
b)
The net force can be found by performing a sum of forces on the X-axis, these forces are seen in the free body diagram.
∑Fx = Fr
where:
Fr = resultant force [N] (units of Newtons)
![F_{r}=275+275-310\\F_{r}=240[N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F_%7Br%7D%3D275%2B275-310%5C%5CF_%7Br%7D%3D240%5BN%5D)
c)
Acceleration can be found by means of Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of the forces in a body or the resulting force is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
∑F = m*a
where:
m = mass = 2250 [kg]
a = acceleration [m/s²]
![240=2250*a\\a=0.1067[m/s^{2} ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=240%3D2250%2Aa%5C%5Ca%3D0.1067%5Bm%2Fs%5E%7B2%7D%20%5D)
Answer:
<h2>v= 2.74m/s</h2>
Explanation:
We can solve for the initial velocity using the first equation of motion

where
v= final velocity
u= initial velocity
a= acceleration
t= time in seconds
Given data
final velocity= 2.41 m/s
initial velocity v =?
time t= 2.5 seconds
acceleration a= 
substituting we have
v= 2.41+0.13(2.5)
v= 2.41+0.325
v= 2.735m/s
v= 2.74m/s
the final velocity is 2.74 m/s
