What is the motion of a body when only the force of gravity is acting on it

Mashcka [7]3 years ago

When only the force of gravity acts on an object,
the situation is called "free fall".

The motion is uniformly accelerated.  The object falls
straight toward the center of the other object in whose
gravity it shares, and its speed increases at a constant
rate. 

When this happens on or near the surface of the Earth,
the rate is (9.8 meters per second greater) for each
second of falling.

True free-fall is never observed in daily life.  Whenever
we see an object falling, it is always falling through air,
which counteracts the force of gravity to a greater or
lesser degree, depending on the object's size, shape,
weight, surface texture, and speed through the air.

What are the density, specific gravity and mass of the air in a room whose dimensions are 4 m * 6 m * 8 m at 100 kPa and 25 C.
Volgvan

Answer:

Density = 1.1839 kg/m³

Mass = 227.3088 kg

Specific Gravity = 0.00118746 kg/m³

Explanation:

Room dimensions are 4 m, 6 m & 8 m. Thus, volume = 4 × 6 × 8 = 192 m³

Now, from tables, density of air at 25°C is 1.1839 kg/m³

Now formula for density is;

ρ = mass(m)/volume(v)

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

1.1839 = m/192

m = 227.3088 kg

Formula for specific gravity of air is;

S.G_air = density of air/density of water

From tables, density of water at 25°C is 997 kg/m³

S.G_air = 1.1839/997 = 0.00118746 kg/m³

A block of wood 3 cm on each
djyliett [7]

Answer:

1g/cm3

Explanation:

volume of block is 3 cubed which is 27 cm3

we know density is m/v so d= 27g/27cm3

which is 1g/cm3

When you drop a pebble into a pond, the energy from the pebble acts on the water and causes waves. What is the wave?
Art [367]

Answer:

A, The water moving away

Explanation:

When the pebble hits the water the surface tension breaks causing the water to separate away and make a ripple in the water.

A man pulls a sled at a constant velocity across a horizontal snow surface. if a force of 80 n is being applied to the sled rope
balandron [24]
A constant velocity implies the two forces must be equal and opposite.
Friction acts horizontal to the ground, therefore we must find the force applied to the sled rope that acts horizontal to the ground.
Do this by resolving:
Force = 80cos53
The force opposing this is equal, and so also = 80cos53 = 48 N (2 sig. fig.)
