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).

Answer:

600 N upward

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law, for every action their is an equal and opposite reaction. The equal and opposite reaction to a downward force of magnitude 600 N is an upward force of magnitude 600 N

Elemental analysis of the unknown gas from part a revealed that it is 30.45% n and 69.55% o by mass. What is the molecular formu

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

the molecular formula for the gas is NO₂

Explanation:

since it contains

Nitrogen = n → 30.45%

Oxygen = o → 69.55%

and 30.45%+69.55% = 100% , then the gas only contains nitrogen and oxygen

Also we know that the proportion of oxygen over nitrogen is

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = moles of oxygen / moles of nitrogen

since

moles = mass / molecular weight

then for a sample of 100 gr of the unknown gas

mass of oxygen = 69.55%*100 gr = 69.55 gr

mass of Nitrogen = 30.45%*100 gr = 30.45 gr

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = (mass of oxygen/ molecular weight)/(mass of nitrogen / molecular weight of nitrogen ) = (69.55 gr/ 16 gr/mol) /( 30.45 gr /14 gr/mol) = 1.998 mol of O/ mol of N≈ 2 mol of O/ mol of N

therefore there are 2 atoms of oxygen per atom of nitrogen

thus the molecular formula for the gas is:

NO₂

Which of the following has the greatest kinetic energy? A. a mass of 4m at velocity v. B. a mass of 3m at velocity 2v. C. a mass

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that the body possesses by virtue of its motion.

The formula for Kinetic energy is given by $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$
