What can cause you to observe that sone objects fall faster than others?

1 answer:

3 0

Galileo discovered that objects that are more dense, or have more mass, fall at a faster rate than less dense objects, due to this air resistance. A feather and brick dropped together. Air resistance causes the feather to fall more slowly.

A 4 kilogram box is at rest on a frictionless floor. A net force of 12 newtons acts on it. What is the acceleration of the box?

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step one:

given

Mass m= 4kg

Force F= 12N

Required

Acceleration the relation between force, acceleration, and mass is Newton's first equation of motion, which says a body will continue to be at rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force

F=ma

a=F/m

a=12/4

a=3 m/s^2

20 quantities and classified them in vector and scaler quantities

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

A scalar quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has only magnitude, for example, mass and electric charge. On the other hand, a vector quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has both magnitude as well as direction like force and weight.

There is a species of bamboo that can grow 36 inches per day. If a plant grew at this rate and was measured at 40 inches initial

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

It will take the plant $4\frac{4}{9}$ days or 4.44 days to grow to a height of 200 inches tall.

Explanation:

From the question, the rate at which the species of the bamboo tree grows is 36 inches per day.

To determine how long it would take a plant 40 inches tall initially to grow at this rate (that is, 36 inches per day) to a height of 200 inches.

This means we will calculate the number of days it will take the plant to grow additional 160 inches ( 200 inches - 40 inches) at this rate.

Now,

If the plant grows 36 inches in 1 day

then it will grow 160 inches in x days

x = (160 inches × 1 day) / 36 inches

x = 160 / 36

x = $4\frac{4}{9}$ days or 4.44 days

Hence, it will take the plant $4\frac{4}{9}$ days or 4.44 days to grow to a height of 200 inches tall.

A Boeing 777 aircraft has a mass of 300,000 kg. At a certain instant during its landing, its speed is 27.0 m/s. If the braking f

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Speed of the airplane 10.0 s later = 12.2 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of Boeing 777 aircraft = 300,000 kg

Braking force = 445,000 N

Deceleration

$a=\frac{445000}{300000}=1.48m/s^2$

Initial velocity, u = 27 m/s

Time , t = 10 s

We have equation of motion, v =u +at

v = 27 + (-1.48) x 10 = 27 - 14.8 = 12.2 m/s

Speed of the airplane 10.0 s later = 12.2 m/s
