Answer:

Option A is correct.

(The faster object encounters more resistance)

Explanation:

Option A is correct. (The faster object encounters more resistance)

Air resistance depends on various factors:

  • Speed of the object
  • Cross-sectional area of the object
  • Shape of the object

Formula:

F=\frac{1}{2}C_d\rho A v^{2}

As the speed of the object increases the amount of Air resistance/drag increases on the object, as the above formula shows direct relation between Air resistance/drag and velocity i.e F ∝ v^2.

Question: Is a flame matter?<br> .<br> Claim: (Write a statement that answers the question)
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. The flame itself is a mixture of gases (vaporized fuel, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, and many other things) and so is matter. <em><u>The light produced by the flame is energy, not matter.</u></em>

A student, standing on a scale in an elevator at rest, sees that his weight is 840 N. As the elevator rises, his weight increase
ololo11 [35]

As per FBD while its accelerating upwards

we can say that

F_n - mg = ma

here normal force is given as

F_n = 1050 N

W = 840 N

now mass is given as

m(9.8) = 840

m = 85.7 kg

now we will have

1050 - 840 = 85.7 \times a

a = 2.45 m/s^2

Now while accelerating downwards we can say by FBD

mg - F_n = ma

again plug in all values

840 - 588 = 85.7 \times a

a = 2.94 m/s^2

What quantities determine the resistance of a piece of material? Choose all that apply.
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Option (a), (b) and (c)

Explanation:

The resistance of a conductor depends on the length of the conductor, area of crossection of the conductor and the nature of the conductor.

The formula for the resistance is given by

R = ρ x l / A

Where, ρ is the resistivity of the conductor, l be the length of the conductor and A be the area of crossection of the conductor.

So, It depends on the length, area and the type of material.

3. Suppose that a block is pulled 16 meters across a floor. What amount of work is done if the force used to drag the block is 2
Nadusha1986 [10]

Explanation:

Work is the product of force and distance.

W = F×d

W = (22 N) × (16 m)

W = 352 J

What is meant by length of the travel path​
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:Physics. Distance, the total distance an object travels dependent on its path through space. Optical path length, the product of the distance light travels and the refractive index of the medium it travels through. Mean free path, the average distance that a particle travels before scattering.
