How far below an initial straight-line path will a projectile fall in one second

Physics

Answer:

9.8 m

Explanation:

The rate of free fall of a body does not depend on its mass or shape in the absence of air resistance.  This property of gravitational force is proved by the famous leaning tower of Pisa experiment by Galileo.

The gravitational force is responsible for the gravitational acceleration of a body.

When considering the gravitational acceleration near the surface of Earth it has the constant value g = 9.8 m/s irrespective of the mass of the body.

This phenomenon states that every projectile falls at the same rate such that its velocity keeps on increasing to maintain the constancy of g.

So, when a projectile fall initially from a certain height for one second, it would have traveled only 9.8 m.

Sometimes students are taught that "air expands as it is heated". And sometimes they are taught that "as air expands it cools".
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Both are true under specific circumstances. And are related to Boyle's law. volume and pressure in a gas are inversely proportional.

Explanation:

There is a tendency to entropy in our reality, that is, in particular true and visible with gases, they tend to occupy the whole space where they are confined, when we heat a volume of gas, then the movement of the particles and in consequence the pressure of the gas increases and to compensate this the volume tends to be increased too, according to Boyle's law. And the opposite happens when the volume is increased, then the pressure is  relieved and since the particles are further one from each other, then the temperature is lower, and therefore it cools down.
