Answer:

b. more rapidly in the vertical direction

Explanation:

Atmospheric Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation.

Pressure decreases with increasing altitude because at higher altitudes both the height of overlying air column and its density decreases. Hence the answer.

A chair of weight 125 N lies atop a horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of F = 3

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

N = 148.10N

Explanation:

GIVEN

Weight =125 N

force = 35

angle =42°

since there is no vertical acceleration $a_{y} = 0$ from

free body diagram

$\Sigma fa_{y} = ma_{y} = 0$

$N-W-Fsin42\degree = 0\\\\N= W+Fsin42\\N = 125+35\times 0.66\\N = 148.10 N$

A 1.5 kg orange falls from a tree and hits the ground in 0.75s. What is the speed of the orange just before it hits the ground?

Olenka [21]

The final speed of the orange is 7.35 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the orange is a free fall motion, since there is only the force of gravity acting on it. Therefore, it is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration $g=9.8 m/s^2$ towards the ground. So we can use the following suvat equation:
