Describe how mass affects the time required for an object to reach the ground from a given drop height.

1 answer:

6 0

The speed of a falling object is not directly affected by mass. Air resistance is the deciding factor in the time is takes for an object to reach the ground. Two objects of different mass will accelerate at the same rate. This was discovered by Galileo. Newton's second law states that F=ma. This means that if both accelerate at the same rate, then the force acting on the objects must be different, and the greater the mass, the greater the force of gravity that is acting upon the object.

A tugboat tows a ship with a constant force of magnitude F1. The increase in the ship's speed during a 10 s interval is 3.0 km/h

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of F₁ is 3.7 times of F₂

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 10 sec

Speed = 3.0 km/h

Speed of second tugboat = 11 km/h

We need to calculate the speed

$v_{1}=\dfrac{3.0\times10^{3}}{3600}$

$v_{1}=0.833\ m/s$

The force F₁is constant acceleration is also a constant.

$F_{1}=ma_{1}$

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

$a_{1}=\dfrac{v}{t}$

$a_{1}=\dfrac{0.833}{10}$

$a_{1}=0.083\ m/s^2$

Similarly,

$F_{2}=ma_{2}$

For total force,

$F_{3}=F_{2}+F_{1}$

$ma_{3}=ma_{2}+ma_{1}$

The speed of second tugboat is

$v=\dfrac{11\times10^{3}}{3600}$

$v=3.05\ m/s$

We need to calculate total acceleration

$a_{3}=\dfrac{v}{t}$

$a_{3}=\dfrac{3.05}{10}$

$a_{3}=0.305\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the acceleration a₂

$0.305=a_{2}+0.083$

$a_{2}=0.305-0.083$

$a_{2}=0.222\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the factor of F₁ and F₂

Dividing force F₁ by F₂

$\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=\dfrac{m\times0.83}{m\times0.22}$

$\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=3.7$

$F_{1}=3.7F_{2}$

Hence, The magnitude of F₁ is 3.7 times of F₂

when a person uses an iron to remove the wrinkles from a shirt, why does heat travel from the iron to the shirt?

artcher [175]

I think the answer to your question is that:
There is chemical energy being produced (by the water) and that causes the base of iron to absorb the heat. Then when the heated base of the iron is placed onto the shirt, the heat flattens the wrinkles on it.

Only one symbol must be included in every circuit diagram. What symbol is it?

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

A symbol for a battery.

Explanation:

A battery, because every sinlge circuit AC or DC must have a source of energy, to supply it to every single device that is part of the circuit.

The voltage is defined by the Ohm's law and it is equal to the product of the current by the resistance.

Two cars, one in front of the other, are traveling down the highway at 25 m/s. the car behind sounds its horn, which has a frequ

netineya [11]

<span>You are given two cars, one in front of the other, that are traveling down the highway at 25 m/s. You are also given a frequency of 500 Hz of the car travelling behind it. You are asked what is the frequency heard by the driver of the lead car. This problem can be solved using the Doppler effect

sound frequency heard by the lead car = [(speed of sound + lead car velocity)/( speed of sound + behind car velocity)] * (sound of frequency of the behind car)
</span>sound frequency heard by the lead car = [(340 m/s + 25 m/s)/(340 m/s - 25 m/s)] * (500 Hz)
sound frequency heard by the lead car = 579 Hz

What is the final velocity of the ball that is dropped from a height of 200m?

Hoochie [10]

The final velocity of the ball that is dropped from a height of 200m is v = 44.73 m/s .

<h3>What is velocity with example?</h3>

The rate at which an object is travelling in one direction is referred to as its velocity. an automobile traveling north on a highway, or a rocket taking off. Its velocity vector's absolute value always is equal to the motion's speed because it is a scalar.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

Given the initial velocity of the ball (u) = 0

Distance travelled by the ball (s) = 200m

Acceleration (a) = 10 m/s²

As we know:

v² = u² + 2as

Putting values:

v² = 0+2 × (10 m/s²) × (200 m)

v = 44.73 m/s.
