If earth had no atmosphere would a falling object ever reach terminal velocity

Physics

Bond [772]3 years ago

Terminal velocity is caused by friction between an object and the atmosphere, causing it to only go so fast.  If there is no atmosphere, there is no friction between the object, so it will accelerate forever.

A student pushed a box 32.0 m across a smooth, horizontal floor using a constant force of 124 N. If the force was applied for 8.
Brilliant_brown [7]

The power developed is 500 W ( to the nearest Watt)

Power(P) is the rate at which work is done. Work done (W) is the product of the force applied on the object and the displacement (s) made by the point of application of the force.

P = \frac{W}{t}

W= F*s

Therefore,

P=\frac{F*s}{t}

Substitute the given values of force , displacement and time

F = 124 N,s = 32.0 m,t = 8.0 s

P =\frac{W*s}{t} =\frac{124N*22.0s}{8.0s} =496 W

Thus the Power can be rounded off to the nearest value of 500 W

You watch a distant lady driving nails into her front porch at a regular rate of 1 stroke per second. You hear the sound of the
Igoryamba

Answer:

λ = 1360 m

Explanation:

Given data:

frequency of driving nails is given as 1 stroke per second mean at every 0.25 sec she hit the nails

speed of sound is given as 340 m/s

we know that the wave equation is given as

Speed = frequency × wavelength,

v = f × λ

where,

v = speed in meters/second (m/s)

f = frequency in Hertz (Hz)

substituing value to get wavelength  of her driving nails

340 m/s = (1Hz)\times  \lambda

\lambda = \frac{340}{0.25}

λ = 1360 m

a 2000 kg truck is traveling at a velocity of 30 m/s. What velocity must a 1000 kg car have in order to have the same momentum a
Molodets [167]

The car should have a velocity of 60 m/s to attain the same momentum as that of the truck of 2000 kg.

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is measured as the product of mass of object with the velocity attained by that object.

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = Mass × Velocity

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = 2000×30 = 60000 N

Similarly, the momentum of 1000 kg car will be 1000× velocity of the 1000 kg car.

Since, it is stated that momentum of 2000 kg truck is equal to the momentum of 1000 kg of car, then the velocity of 1000 kg of car can be determined by equating the momentum of car and truck.

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = Momentum of 1000 kg car

60000=1000×velocity of 1000 kg car

Velocity of 1000 kg car = 60000/1000=60 m/s

So, the car should have a velocity of 60 m/s to attain the same momentum as that of the truck of 2000 kg.
