D. Free fall

Explanation:

An object is said to be in free fall when there is only one force acting on the body, which is the force of gravity.

Near the Earth's surface, the force of gravity acting on a body is given by

F = mg

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration of gravity (its value is $9.8 m/s^2$ )

The direction of this force is downward (towards the Earth's centre).

If we apply Newton's second law on an object in free-fall, we can find its acceleration. In fact, we have:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

And substituting F,

$a=\frac{mg}{m}=g=9.8 m/s^2$

So, every object in free-fall accelerates at $9.8 m/s^2$ towards the ground.

"A toy airplane flies clockwise at a constant speed in a horizontal circle of radius 8.0 meters. The magnitude of the accelerati

Citrus2011 [14]

For the answer to the question above, so at the instant, the acceleration of the airplane is southward, the direction of the velocity is also southward. The direction should be the same because it is both a vector quantity and it does not make sense if the direction and acceleration have different direction.

A block of mass m1 = 3.5 kg moves with velocity v1 = 6.3 m/s on a frictionless surface. it collides with block of mass m2 = 1.7

maxonik [38]

First, let's find the speed $v_i$ of the two blocks m1 and m2 sticked together after the collision.
We can use the conservation of momentum to solve this part. Initially, block 2 is stationary, so only block 1 has momentum different from zero, and it is:
$p_i = m_1 v_1$
After the collision, the two blocks stick together and so now they have mass $m_1 +m_2$ and they are moving with speed $v_i$ :
$p_f = (m_1 + m_2)v_i$
For conservation of momentum
$p_i=p_f$
So we can write
$m_1 v_1 = (m_1 +m_2)v_i$
From which we find
$v_i = \frac{m_1 v_1}{m_1+m_2}= \frac{(3.5 kg)(6.3 m/s)}{3.5 kg+1.7 kg}=4.2 m/s$

The two blocks enter the rough path with this velocity, then they are decelerated because of the frictional force $\mu (m_1+m_2)g$ . The work done by the frictional force to stop the two blocks is
$\mu (m_1+m_2)g d$
where d is the distance covered by the two blocks before stopping.
The initial kinetic energy of the two blocks together, just before entering the rough path, is
$\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2$
When the two blocks stop, all this kinetic energy is lost, because their velocity becomes zero; for the work-energy theorem, the loss in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the frictional force:
$\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2 =\mu (m_1+m_2)g d$
From which we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:
$\mu = \frac{v_i^2}{2gd}= \frac{(4.2 m/s)^2}{2(9.81 m/s^2)(1.85 m)}=0.49$

If a car has a mass of 200 kilograms and produces a force of 500 N, how fast will the car accelerate?

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = ma

500N = 200 × a

200a. = 500N

a. =. 500N/200

a. =. 2.5m/s²
