None of these are a good definition; a good definition would be "the maximum velocity that an object can fall at." however the best answer out go those is c. the constant velocity of some falling objects.

Answer:

c. the constant velocity of some falling objects.

Explanation:

When a body is dropped (or thrown up) vertically and only the force of gravity acts on it, it is said that the body carries a free fall motion. Free fall is a special case of uniformly varied rectilinear motion.

Therefore, the MRUV formulas will be applied, with a modification: The acceleration of the bodies in free fall is the acceleration of gravity represented by the letter g and is, on Earth, approximately equal to 9'8 m / s2.

<u>An object that falls</u>, initially gains speed. When gaining speed, the resistance force of the air will increase, which is nothing more than the result of collisions with the air molecules suffered by any object that travels through a layer of air. The greater the number of molecules with which it collides, the greater the resistance. Consequently, the air resistance depends on the speed of the falling object and its surface (its shape).

The object will continue to accelerate until the air resistance force is large enough to compensate for the force of gravity. At that time the object will continue to fall but will do so with <u>constant speed</u> (terminal velocity).

The energy released from condensation in thunderstorms can be very large. Calculate the energy (in J) released into the atmosphe

makkiz [27]

Answer:

7.19 * 10^14J

Explanation:

Given that

Density of water Pwater= 1000kg/m3

R=2.1km = 2.1*10^3m

H= 2.3cm. = 2.3*10^-2m

Lv water= 2256 * 10^3J/kg

First, mass of water need to be calculated, using an imaginary cylinder

Density= Mass /Volume

Mass= Density* Volume

Volume of a cylinder= πR2h

Therefore mass= PπR2H

= 1000 * π * (2.1 *10^3)^2 * (2.3 * 10^-2)

= 3.18 *10^8

Heat Released Qv = mLV

= 3.18*10^8 * 2236*10^3

= 7.19 * 10^14J

Using software, a simulation of a javelin being thrown both on Earth and on the moon is created. In both cases, the velocity and

mario62 [17]

Horizontal distance covered by a projectile is X = Vix *T

where Vix is the initial horizontal component of velocity and T is time taken by the projectile

Vix = ViCos theta

In question they said that initial velocity and angle is same on earth and moon

so Vix would remains same

now let's see about time taken T

time taken to reach the highest point

Vfy = Viy +gt

at highest point vertical velocity become zero so Vfy =0

0 = Vi Sin theta + gt

t = Vi Sintheta /g

Total time taken to land will be twice of that

On earth

Te= 2t

Te = 2Sinθ/g

on moon g is one-sixth of g(earth)

Tm = 2Sinθ/(g/6)

Tm = 6(2Sinθ/g)

Tm = 6Te

so total time taken by the projectile on moon will be six times the time taken on earth

From first equation X = Vix*T

we can see that X will also be 6 times on moon than earth

so projectile will cover 6 times distance on moon than on earth

The sound from a single source can reach point O by two different paths. One path is 20.0 m long and the second path is 21.0 m l

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

minimum frequency = 170 Hz

Explanation:

given data

One path long = 20 m

second path long = 21 m

speed of sound = 340 m/s

solution

we get here destructive phase that is path difference of minimum $\frac{\lambda}{2}$

here λ is the wavelength of the wave

so path difference will be

21 - 20 = $\frac{\lambda}{2}$

λ = 2 m

and

velocity that is express as

velocity = frequency × wavelength .............1

frequency = $\frac{340}{2}$

minimum frequency = 170 Hz

Can someone help me?!!!!!

ladessa [460]

Answer:

magnitude: 21.6; direction: 33.7 degrees

Explanation:

When we multiply a vector by a scalar, we have to multiply each component of the vector by the scalar number. In this case, we have

vector: (-3,-2)

Scalar: -6

so the vector multiplied by the scalar will have components

$(-3\cdot (-6), -2 \cdot (-6))=(18,12)$

The magnitude is given by Pythagorean's theorem:

$m=\sqrt{18^2+12^2}=21.6$

and the direction is given by the arctan of the ratio between the y-component and the x-component:

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{12}{18})=33.7^{\circ}$
