Which forces tend to slow down an object

Physics
1 answer:
laila [671]4 years ago
8 0
The answer is "friction and air resistance" gravity does some of the work by keeping the object from floating away, but friction and air resistance does the biggest part. Friction is how rough the ground it meaning on tile, dirt, grass, etc... that would slow down the object and air resistance is the gravity pushing on the object also making it stop. 

Hope this helps!

Zach drives his car around a circular section of a road having a radius of 50 meters at a constant speed of 20 m/s. What is the
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration = 8m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Radius, r = 50m

Velocity, v = 20m/s

To find centripetal acceleration;

Centripetal acceleration = v²/r

Centripetal acceleration = 20²/50

Centripetal acceleration = 400/50

Centripetal acceleration = 8m/s²

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of Zach's car is 8 meters per seconds square.

A space rover weighs less on Mars than it does on Earth. Which statement explains this difference? A. The gravitational constant
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

B. The mass of Mars is less than the mass of Earth.

Explanation:

Mass of an object is the constant anywhere in the universe.

The weight of an object is equal to the gravitational force acting on it.

Weight is given by

W=\dfrac{GMm}{R^2}\\\Rightarrow W=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}m\\\Rightarrow W=mg

where

G = Gravitational constant

M = Mass of Planet

R = Radius of planet

m = Mass of object

g = Acceleration due to gravity

So weight of an object depends on the acceleration due to gravity on that planet. The acceleration due to gravity depends on the mass and radius of the planet.

The weight of the object is less on Mars because mars has less mass compared to Earth.

State newton's universal law of gravitation
Lorico [155]

Every particle of mass is attracted to every other particle of mass.  The magnitude of the force between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.  The direction of the force is along the line between their centers.

(NOTE:  Newton's 3rd law of motion tells us that gravitational forces always come in pairs.  Between two objects, there are two forces ... one in each direction.  Their strengths are equal ... Your weight on Earth is exactly equal to the Earth's weight on YOU.)
