When is an object that has been dropped from a great height through the air closest to vein in a free fall?

Physics
2 answers:
Elza [17]3 years ago

-- "Free fall" means no forces acting on the object except for gravity.

-- An object dropped through air has two forces on it -- gravity and air resistance.

-- So we're looking for the part of the drop where air resistance is smallest.

-- The force of air resistance depends on the speed through the air, so the
force of air resistance is smallest when <em>velocity downward is smallest</em>.

If there were no air, the object would be in free fall the entire time, and there would be no "terminal velocity". So, the object is closest to being in free fall when the effects of the air are minimized--and that is when the object has the smallest speed relative to the air.

water in a cup and a kettle can have the same temperature even though the quantities are different . give reasons​
jekas [21]

Answer:

The reason is because both are exposed to a virtually infinite heat sink, due to the virtually infinite mass  and of the surrounding environment, compared to the sizes of either the cup or the kettle such that the equilibrium temperature, T_{(equilibrium)} reached is the same for both the cup and the kettle as given by the relation;

\infty M_{(environ)} \times  c_{(environ)} \times (T_2 - T_1) = m_{1} \times  c_{(water)} \times (T_3 - T_2) + m_{2} \times  c_{(water)} \times (T_4 - T_2)

Due to the large heat sink, T₂ - T₁ ≈ 0 such that the temperature of the kettle and that of the cup will both cool to the temperature of the environment

Does air resistance affect the motion of a falling object differently when the mass is greater?
mixas84 [53]
<span>NO.

Air resistance does not affect the motion of a falling object differently when the mass is greater because the mass of an object does not in any way affect the speed of falling due to gravity, and air resistance depends only on the speed of the object and its surface area.</span>

Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 19.6 m/s in 2.45 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 27.6 m/s . Assum
marta [7]

Answer:

  • v_{top} = 61.96 \frac{mi}{h}

Explanation:

To express the cheetah's top speed in miles per hour, we just need to find the conversion factor.

We know that the top speed is

v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s}

So, we want to obtain miles from meters and hours from seconds.

<h3>miles from meters</h3>

First we write the equivalence:

1609.34 \ m = 1 \ mi

Now, we can divide by 1609.34 meters on both sides:

\frac{1609.34 \ m}{ 1609.34 \ m} = \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}

The left sides equals 1, so

1 = \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}

And this is our conversion factor from meters to miles. Now, we can multiply our top speed by this conversion factor, as the conversion factor equals one, and is dimensionless, the physical meaning will be the same.

v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s} * \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}

v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s} * \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}

v_{top} = 0.0172120 \frac{mi}{s}

This is the top speed in miles per second, now, for obtaining miles per hour:

<h3>hours from seconds</h3>

We can do pretty much the same, first, the equivalence:

1 \ h = 3600 \ s

as the seconds are dividing in the velocity, we know divide by 1 hour.

\frac{1 \ h}{ 1 \ h} = \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}

1 = \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}

and know we just multiply our top speed by this conversion factor

v_{top} = 0.0172120 \frac{mi}{s}  \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}

v_{top} = 61.96 \frac{mi}{h}

A charged paint is spread in a very thin uniform layer over the surface of a plastic sphere of diameter 13.0 cm , giving it a ch
Leokris [45]

a) Electric field inside the paint layer: zero

b) Electric field just outside the paint layer: -3.62\cdot 10^7 N/C

c) Electric field 8.00 cm outside the paint layer: -7.27\cdot 10^7 N/C

Explanation:

a)

We can find the electric field inside the paint layer by applying Gauss Law: the total flux of the electric field through a gaussian surface is equal to the charge contained within the surface divided by the vacuum permittivity, mathematically:

\int EdS = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

where

E is the electric field

dS is the element of surface

q is the charge within the gaussian surface

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m is the vacuum permittivity

Here we want to find the electric field just inside the paint layer, so we take a sphere of radius r as Gaussian surface, where

R = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m is the radius of the plastic sphere (half the diameter)

By taking the sphere of radius r, we note that the net charge inside this sphere is zero, therefore

q=0

So we have

\int E dS=0

which means that the electric field inside the paint layer is zero.

b)

Now we want to find the electric field just outside the paint layer: therefore, we take a Gaussian sphere of radius

r=R=0.065 m

The area of the surface is

A=4\pi R^2

And since the electric field is perpendicular to the surface at any point, Gauss Law becomes

E\cdot 4\pi R^2 = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

The charge included within the sphere in this case is the charge on the paint layer, therefore

q=-17.0\mu C=-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}C

So, the electric field is:

E=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R^2}=\frac{-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}}{4\pi(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.065)^2}=-3.62\cdot 10^7 N/C

where the negative sign means the direction of the field is inward, since the charge is negative.

c)

Here we want to calculate the electric field 8.00 cm outside the surface of the paint layer.

Therefore, we have to take a Gaussian sphere of radius:

r=8.00 cm + R = 8.00 + 6.50 = 14.5 cm = 0.145 m

Gauss theorem this time becomes

E\cdot 4\pi r^2 = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

And the charge included within the sphere is again the charge on the paint layer,

q=-17.0\mu C=-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}C

Therefore, the electric field is

E=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}=\frac{-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}}{4\pi(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.145)^2}=-7.27\cdot 10^7 N/C
