How does gravity affect the velocity of falling objects?

Physics
1 answer:
sladkih [1.3K]3 years ago
7 0

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls

STALIN [3.7K]
So the force that the gymnast with a mass m=45 kg, has to exert against the ground to stop if her acceleration is a=8*g, where g=9.81 m/s², can be obtained from the Newtons second law: F=m*a, where F is the force, m is the mass and a is acceleration. 

F=m*a=m*8*g=45*8*9.81=3531.6 N. 

So the force that a gymnast has to exert on the mat in order to stop is F=3531.6 N.

Hardness in groundwater is due to the presence of metal ions. True or False
choli [55]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Water hardness in most groundwater is due to a natural occurrence caused by the weathering of  limestone, sedimentary rock and calcium bearing minerals. Hardness can also  occur locally in groundwater from chemical and mining industry effluent or  excessive application of lime to the soil in agricultural areas.

Limestone is not a metallic element or metallic alloy, although it does contain the metallic element calcium, it is not formed by the same processes as metals are.
