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

1 answer:

6 0

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.

Georgia [21]

The source of information was biased. It was like walking along a river bank in the country and asking everybody you meet whether they like fishing. Or asking 500 people sitting in the bleachers whether they like baseball.
I'm sure the scientist would have gotten different data if she interviewed 500 teenagers at neighborhood basketball courts, or 500 teenagers at a rock concert.

Vector A has a magnitude of 30 units. Vector B is perpendicular to vector Aand has a magnitude of 40 units. What would the magni

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

$|\vec A + \vec B| = 50 units$

Explanation:

As we know that magnitude of two vectors is given as

$|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + 2AB cos\theta}$

here we know that

A = magnitude of vector A

B = magnitude of vector B

$\theta$ = angle between two vectors

so here we know that

A = 30 units

B = 40 units

angle = 90 degree

so we have

$|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2 + 2(30)(40)cos90}$

$|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2}$

$|\vec A + \vec B| = 50 units$

If an object force of 50 N is used to move an object a distance of 20 m, what distance must the object be moved if the input for

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

$\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.$

Explanation:

Given data:

$F_{in} = 50 \ \rm N$

$F_{out} = 10 \ \rm N$

$d_{in} = 20 \ m$

Let the distance traveled by the object in the second case be $d_{out}.$

In the given problem, work done by the forces are same in both the cases.

Thus,

$W_{in} = W_{out}$

$F_{in}.d_{in} = F_{out}.d_{out}$

$\Rightarrow \ d_{out} = \frac{F_{in}.d_{in}}{F_{out}}$

$\ d_{out} = \frac{50 \times 20}{10}$

$\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.$

Choose the sentence that might be found in a personal narrative that correctly uses both a gerund and an infinitive.

Mumz [18]

Let's start with an infinitive: it has a form "to..." - only sentences C and D have a phrase like this, so we can exclude other options.

Among those, C does not have a gerund, which is a verbal form: "dreaming" has a function of a noun there.

So the correct answer is the remaining one, D.
