What causes objects to fall on earth and what is the rate at which this occurs

Physics

Vladimir [108]4 years ago

Objects that are free to move "fall" towards the center of the Earth because of
the gravitational forces that attract the Earth and the object toward each other.

An object on or near the surface of the Earth that has only the force of gravity
and no other forces acting on it accelerates steadily toward the center of the
Earth at the rate of 9.81 meters per second every second.

At the same time, of course, the Earth accelerates toward the object, although
at a considerably lower rate.

Gravity causes objects to fall on earth and the rate is based on the magnetic pull of gravity.

A 300-kg bear grasping a vertical tree slides down at constant velocity. the friction force between the tree and the bear is:___
Nady [450]

3000 N of friction exists between the bear and the tree.

The bear goes down at a constant speed, thus there is no acceleration. The forces add up to zero. As a result, upward friction and downward weight result in zero  

i.e.,

F-mg=0

F = mg

F = (300 kg)/10 m/s^{2} (gravitational acceleration)

3000 N frictional force equals F.

How does friction force work?

  • Friction is the force that prevents two solid objects from rolling or sliding over one another. Even though frictional forces, such as the traction required to walk without slipping, may be advantageous, they can also be a significant hindrance to motion.

Between solid surfaces, there are three basic types of friction:

  • Rolling
  • Sliding.
  • Static.                                                                                                                   They are graded from strongest to weakest. Fluid friction happens when liquids or gasses are mixed together.

Calculate the gravitational potential energy of the interacting pair of the Earth and a 4 kg block sitting on the surface of the
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

- 2.425 x 10^5 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy between earth and the bock is given by

U=-G\frac{Mm}{r}

Where, G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

M is the mass of earth = 5.8 x 10^24 kg

m is the mass of block = 4 kg

r be the radius of earth = 6380 km = 6380 x 10^3 m

by substituting the values in the above expression, we get

U=-6.67\times10^{-11}\frac{5.8\times 10^{24}\times 4}{6380\times 10^{3}}

U = - 2.425 x 10^5 J

A body A of mass 1.5kg, travelling along the positive x-axis with speed 4.5m/s, collides with another body B of mass 3.2kg which
Veronika [31]
We consider the momentum in the x-direction and apply the principle of conservation of momentum to form the equation:
m(A)u(A) = m(A)v(A) + m(B)v(B), since u(B) = 0 as B is at rest

We calculate v(A) using:
Vx = Vcos∅
Vx = 2.1cos(30)
Vx = 1.82 m/s

1.5 x 4.5 = 1.5 x 1.82 + 3.2v(B)
v(B) = 1.26 m/s

The deflection angle of B will be 30° above the positive x-axis, so:
v(B) = Vcos∅
V = 1.26 / cos(30)
V = 1.45 m/s

The velocity of B is 1.45 m/s

With nonreturn to zero signaling, the voltage alternates between zero and a positive or negative voltage. True False
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

No. Voltage does not alternate between zero and positive or negative. In non return signaling (NRZ) voltage at zero represents the 0 bit and at the positive represent the 1 bit. NRZ is one of the signal levels of uni polar Scheme in which the signal does not return to zero at the middle of it. For example 10110. That is why it named as the non return signaling.

PLEASE HELP An object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 32.1 m/s. What is its velocity in 4.0 s? (use g = 9.81 m/s2).
grigory [225]

Answer:

-7.14

Explanation:

According to equation of motion

v = u + at

where

v is the final velocity at any time t

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

and t is the time

___________________________________________

Given

An object is thrown upward it means

its initial velocity is in upward direction

but acceleration due to gravity is in downward direction which will cause to decrease the velocity of object.

Intial velocity u = 31.1 m/s

final velocity v at 4 second we have to find.

t = 4 second

a = g = 9.81 m/s2 (it is acting in opposite direction of motion hence its sign will be negative ).

Thus

a = -  9.81 m/s2

using the above values in v = u + at

v = 32.1 - 9.81*4

v = 32.1 - 39.24

v = -7.14

Thus, correct option is -7.14.
