-- "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.

Why is it important that a finger be wet<br> before it is touched to a hot clothes iron?
AleksandrR [38]

Why is it important that your finger be wet if you intend to touch it briefly to a hot clothes iron to test its temperature. If your finger is wet, some of the heat transmitted to your finger will be given to the water which has a high specific heat capacity and also a larger latent heat of vaporization.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Explanation:

On both sides of the film , the mediums have lower refractive index.

for interfering pattern from above , for constructive interference of reflected wave from both sides of the film , the condition is

2μt = ( 2n +1 ) λ / 2

μ is refractive index of film ,t is thickness of film λ is wavelength of light

n is order of fringe

for minimum thickness

n = 0

2μt =  λ / 2

t =  λ / 4μ

= 670 / 1.75 x 4

= 95.71 nm .

Which list shows the development of atomic models in chronological order?
ratelena [41]
The correct option is PLUM PUDDING, SOLAR SYSTEM, ELECTRON CLOUD. 
J. J Thompson was the scientist who proposed the plum pudding theory of atomic model. Neil Borh was the one who developed the solar system model of atomic theory while the electron cloud model of atomic theory that is presently been used was developed by an Australian scientist called Erwin Schrodinger.<span />
