The correct answer to the question is : Air resistance.

EXPLANATION:

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the terminal velocity.

An object is said to be moving with terminal velocity if the net force acting on the object is zero i.e the body is non accelerating.

As per the question, the object is falling under gravity. The force of gravity acts in vertical downward direction.

Except gravity, the object is also under air resistance. It is the force which opposes the motion of the object, and acts in vertical upward direction.

If the air resistance becomes equal to force of gravity, then the net force acting on the object is zero . It is so because two forces act in opposite direction.

In case of liquids, the resistance force is called as viscosity.

Hence, the correct answer to the question is air resistance.

A solid block of copper, which is a good conductor, has a cavity in its interior. Within the cavity, insulated from the conducto

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The charge on the outer surface of the block = -5.00 nC

The charge on the surface of the cavity (on the inner surface of the block) = -3.00 nC

Explanation:

The point charge within the cavity will induce a charge equal in magnitude and opposite in sign on the inside cavities of the copper block.

Charge of the point charge = 3.00 nC

Charge induced on the inner surface of the Copper block's cavity = -3.00 nC

Since the charge on a conductor should usually be neutral, the charge on the inner surface causes a charge equal in magnitude and also opposite in sign on the outer surface of the block; that is, 3.00 nC.

But this block already has an excess charge of -8.00 nC (which resides on the surface because excess charge for conductors reside on the surface of the conductors)

So, net charge on the outer surface of the Copper block = -8.00 + 3.00 = -5.00 nC.

If a dog is accelerating at a constant rate of 6.57 m/s2, what is the mass of the dog if 25 N of force is being applied to it?

Oliga [24]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 3.81 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the dog can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{f}{a} \\$

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

$m = \frac{25}{6.57} \\ = 3.80517503$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
