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).

A force acts on a 5kg object at rest. How fast will the object accelerate on a frictionless surface?
MakcuM [25]

Answer: The answer is C.) 25 m/s^2.

Explanation: If you input 5 as s, you would have to use the exponent 2.  This means that you have to multiply 5 by 5.  5 x 5= 25.  

Edit: Also, because the surface is frictionless, it will make the object go faster too.  Nothing can really slow it down unless something blocks it.

A spring with a spring constant of 350 N/m pulls a door closed. How much work is done as the spring pulls the door at a constant
german

The work done to stretch the spring will be 112 J.

<h3>What is spring force?</h3>

The force required to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance is known as the spring force. Its formula is

F = kx

The given data in the problem is;

F is the spring force =?

K is the spring constant= 8.5 N/m

x is the length by which spring got stretched = 1.2m

The work is done to stretch the spring is;

\rm W= \frac{1}{2} kx^2 \\\\ W=\frac{1}{2} \times 350 \times (0.850-0.050)^2 \\\\ W=0.5 \times 350 \times (0.80)^2 \\\\W=112 \ J
