If the earth had no atmosphere, would a falling object reach terminal velocity? Explain

Physics
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
5 0
Terminal velocity is the point when an accelerating object reaches a constant speed. When an object is in free fall on earth, this happens due to the drag force of the atmosphere that pushes up on the object.
If the earth had no atmosphere, the object would keep accelerating and never reach terminal velocity due to the lack of air drag.

Kaylis [27]

Answer: a = 1, b = 9, c = 6, d = 4

Explanation:

With no velocity, total mechanical energy is all gravity potential energy

PE = mgh = 80.0(9.81)(25) = 19,620 J = 1.96e4 J

How is budgeting different for most states than for the federal government?
meriva

There are three general kinds of state balanced budget requirements:

<span>The governor's proposed budget must be balanced (43 states and Puerto Rico).The budget the legislature passes must be balanced (39 states and Puerto Rico).<span>The budget must be balanced at the end of a fiscal year or biennium, so that no deficit can be carried forward (37 states and Puerto Rico).
</span></span><span>Nature of state balanced-budget requirements All the states except Vermont have a legal requirement of a balanced budget. Some are constitutional, some are statutory, and some have been derived by judicial decision from constitutional provisions about state indebtedness that do not, on their face, call for a balanced budget. The General Accounting Office has commented that "some balanced budget requirements are based on interpretations of state constitutions and statutes rather than on an explicit statement that the state must have a balanced budget."

How does the kinetic energy from the forward motion of a car traveling at 16 m/s
elena55 [62]

The kinetic energy in the first case is 4 times more than the second case.

Hence, option D)It is 4 times greater is the correct answer.

<h3>What is Kinetic Energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy is simply a form of energy a particle or object possesses due to its motion.

It is expressed as;

K = (1/2)mv²

Where m is mass of the object and v is its velocity.

Given that;

  • For the first case, velocity v = 16m/s
  • For the second case, velocity = 8m/s
  • Let the mass of the car be m

For the first case, kinetic energy of the car will be;

K = (1/2)mv²

K = (1/2) × m × (16m/s)²

K = (1/2) × m × 256m²/s²

K = mass × 128m²/s²

For the second case, kinetic energy of the car will be;

K = (1/2)mv²

K = (1/2) × m × (8m/s)²

K = (1/2) × m × 64m²/s²

K = mass × 32m²/s²

Comparing the kinetic energy of the car with the same mass but different velocity, we can see that the kinetic energy in the first case is 4 times more than the second case.

Hence, option D)It is 4 times greater is the correct answer.

A technician wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam. To do so, she directs the beam toward a partition
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm

Explanation:

Using the formula of fringe spacing from the Young's Double Slit experiment, which is given as follows:

\Delta x = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{\Delta x\ d}{L}

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

Δx = fringe spacing = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 4.95 m

d = slit separation = 0.175 mm = 0.000175 m

Therefore,

\lambda = \frac{(0.016\ m)(0.000175\ m)}{4.95\ m}\\\\

<u>λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm</u>

Find the magnitude of this<br> vector:<br> 174 m<br> N<br> 188.4 m<br> HELP FAST
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

195.168 m

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the vector you can use the Pythagorean Theorem since you have the height and base and the vector is really just the hypotenuse

Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

Plug values in

88.4^2+174^2=c^2

Simplify

7814.56+30276=c^2

Add the two values

38090.56=c^2

Take the square root of both sides

195.168\approx195.168
