Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. Why then, a heavy object does not fall faster than a ligh
guapka [62]

Answer:

This is because the acceleration of objects due to gravity is independent of the mass of the object and is constant for all objects, therefore, all objects fall with the same speed.

Explanation:

The weight of an object or force of gravity acting on an object on the surface of earth is a product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Mathematically, w = mg

where, m=mass of the object; g = acceleration due to gravity

Also, from newton's law of gravitation, gravitational force on the object ,F = GMm/r²

where G is the gravitational constant; M is mass of Earth; m is mass of object; r is the distance of separation between the object and the center of mass of the earth which is approximately the radius of earth.

Since the weight of an object is equal to the force of gravitation acting on it

W = F

mg = GMm/r²

g = GM/r²

The expression above is that of the relationship between the force of gravity acting on a body on the earth's surface, the weight of that body and the acceleration due to gravity, g.

It can be seen that the acceleration due to gravity g is independent of the mass of the object. Therefore, the acceleration of objects due to gravity is constant for all objects and all objects fall with the same speed.

A homing pigeon starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at +4.00 m/s squared for 10.0 seconds. What is its velocity after the
zavuch27 [327]
'  +4 m/s² ' means that the pigeon's speed is  4 m/s greater every second.

Starting from zero speed, after 10 seconds, its speed is 

                           (10 x 4m/s)  =  40 m/s.

We can't say anything about its velocity, because we have
no information regarding the direction of its flight.

When a force is acting at axis of rotation,why torque is zero?
Vikki [24]

Explanation:

see, torque=force × perpendicular distance

...that perpendicular distance is between axis of rotation and the point where force acts... so in above's case perpendicular distance is zero... so the torque is zero!

If you push a 4-kg mass...
Lena [83]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

F = ma , a = F/m

a1 = F/10 and a2 = F/4

Since Force is constant, a2 will we greater than a1
