When the only force affecting an object is gravity,that object is in _______________

1 answer:

5 0

Freefall. Just like when the elevator first starts moving or your in space. Not zero gravity but free fall because it's a vacuum so there is no drag, just gravity

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Ro = 7.8 [g/cm³]

Explanation:

According to the principle of Archimedes, the volume of a body immersed in a liquid is equal to the volume displaced by water. That is, in this problem The displacement volume is equal to the new volume minus the original volume.

$V_{n}=110[cm^{3} ]\\V_{o}=100[cm^{3} ]\\V_{d}=110-100 = 10 [cm^{3} ]$

We now know that density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume.

$Ro = m/V_{d}$

where:

Ro = density [g/cm³]

m = mass = 78 [g]

Vd = displacement volume [cm³]

$Ro = 78/10\\Ro = 7.8 [g/cm^{3} ]$

The Force of friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 12N. The weight of the object is 20N. What i

shtirl [24]

Answer: The coefficient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.6

Explanation:

For an object of mass M, the weight is:

W = M*g

where g is the gravitational acceleration: g = 9.8m/s^2

And the friction force between this object and the surface can be written as:

F = W*μ

where μ is the coefficient of friction (kinetic if the object is moving, and static if the object is not moving, usually the static coefficient is larger)

In this case, the weight is:

W = 20N

And the friction force is:

F = 12N

Replacing these values in the equation for the friction force we get:

12N = 20N*μ

(12N/20N) = μ = 0.6

The coefficient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.6
