if an object is falling on earth at a terminal velocity of 140 km/hr, does that mean that the acceleration is ZERO?

If he's falling in a straight line and his speed is not changing, that tells you that his acceleration is zero.

And THAT tells you that the forces on him are balanced, the net force acting on him is zero, and his motion is the same as it would be if there were NO force acting on him.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) = 107.8J

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) = mgh

Where mass(m) = 11kg

Acceleration due to gravity(g) = 9.8m²/s

height = assumed to be 1m

Force(F) = mg

Force(F) = 11×9.8 = 107.8N

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) = 107.8×1

= 107.8J

Which option gives an object's volume in Sl units?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

K is the SI unit for Kelvin which measures temperature.

kg is NOT an SI unit, g is the SI unit for mass.

L is NOT an SI unit, m^3 is the SI unit for volume.

Therefore the answer is B.

How do objects and substances have kinetic energy??<br><br> I need help ASAP!!
9966 [12]

Objects and substances in motion have Kinetic Energy.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy is the motion of objects, substances, molecules, atoms .

Whenever an object starts to move, it is in motion. Kinetic Energy is generated, when the object moves and its potential energy gets dropped with the movement. Kinetic Energy is found in every object that moves.

The Kinetic Energy of an object depends both on its mass and its speed. Kinetic Energy increases as mass and speed are increased.

Example:  By using the wind flow from wind turbines, the Kinetic energy in the wind can be transformed to generate electricity by using generators.

w strong are you? Could you turn a moving car with just your own strength? No way! If a normal driver inputs about 50 N of force
malfutka [58]

The mechanical advantage of a simple machine is the measure of its amplified force gain.

The mechanical advantage  is defined as the force amplified by a machine to the force required to generate such output.

Mathematically\ mechanical\ advantage\ MA=\frac{F_{o}} {F_{i}}

F_{o} \ and\ F_{i} are the amplified force and applied force. We may also consider them as output and input force.          


In the given question, the force given to the steering wheel is 50 N.

The output force produced by the steering wheel is 3750 N.

Hence the mechanical advantage will be-

                               MA=\frac{F_{o}} {F_{i}}

                                       =\frac{3750\ N}{50\ N}

                                       =75      [ans]
