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

Physics
1 answer:
Anni [7]3 years ago

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.

A would be number 2. Newton's First Law states that an object at rest, will stay at rest and an object in motion, will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. B would be number 3. His Second Law states that <span>the sum of the forces acting on a body is equal to the product of the mass of the body and the acceleration produced by the forces. And, C would be number 1. His Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Hope this helps!</span>

Three resistances 2 ohm ,3ohm and 5 ohm are connected in parallel and a
hammer [34]

The potential difference across 3 Ohm resistor is 20V.

The resistors are connected in parallel which means all the three resistances have a fully potential difference of 20V.
