If it were possible for an object to fall freely near the surface of the Earth,

-- The direction of its velocity would always be "down"; that is, toward the center of the Earth.

-- The size of its velocity would continually increase, at the rate of 9.8 meters per second for every second it falls.

If you cannot get a chair to move across the floor, it is because ___ friction opposes your push.
denis-greek [22]
If you cannot get a chair to move across the floor, it is because static friction opposes your push. When you say static or kinetic friction the two object that facing each other are opposing each other. That's why you're having a hard time pushing the chair.

Answer:

1) D, 2) D, 3) B, 4) B, 5) C

Explanation:

You are asked to select the correct answer

1)  The conservation of energy is one of the most important principles of physics that allows solving countless problems in life.

the correct answer is D

2) when a body falls, the gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy and both are transformed into thermal energy

the correct answer is D

3) When the gravitational potential energy is maximum, the kinetic energy is minimum and when the kinetic energy is maximum, the gravitational energy is minimum.

Correct answer B

4) speed is defined by

         v = x / t

so the correct answer is B in the SI system

5) when we repeat a measurement several times, the random or statistical errors decrease, therefore the confidence of the measurement increases.

The correct answer is C

A meter stick is free to rotate about an axis through one of its end. Find the force F needed to balance this meter stick if the
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

Component of force perpendicular to stick

= F Sin 60°

=√3 / 2 F.

Taking torque about the other end

= √3 / 2 F x 1 Nm

Weight of stick = 60 gm

= 60 x 10⁻³ kg

= 60 x 10⁻³ x 9.8 N

= .588 N

This weight will act from the middle point of stick so torque about the

other end

= .588 x 1 Nm

Balancing these two torques we have

.588 = √3 /2 F

F=\frac{2\times0.588}{\sqrt{3} }

F = 0.679 N
