An object is allowed to fall freely near the surface of a planet. The object has an acceleration due to gravity of 24 m/s2. How

far will the object fall during the first second?

Answer:

12 m

Explanation:

The object is in uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance covered can be found using the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For this problem,

g=24 m/s^2

and

u = 0, since we are considering the first second of motion

So, substituting t = 1 s, we find

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(24)(1)^2=12 m

3 cases where kinetic energy become potential energy
finlep [7]
--  Toss a rock straight up.  The kinetic energy you give it
with your hand becomes potential energy as it rises. 
Eventually, when its kinetic energy is completely changed
to potential energy, it stops rising.

--  When you're riding your bike and going really fast, you come
to the bottom of a hill.  You stop pedaling, and coast up the hill.
As your kinetic energy changes to potential energy, you coast
slower and slower.  Eventually, your energy is all potential, and
you stop coasting.

--  A little kid on a swing at the park.  The swing is going really fast
at the bottom of the arc, and then it starts rising.  As it rises, the
kinetic energy changes into potential energy, more and more as it
swings higher and higher.  Eventually it reaches a point where its
energy is all potential; then it stops rising, and begins falling again.

What happens to the gravitational attraction between 2 objects
amm1812

Answer:

It decreases.

Explanation:

between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases

If the time of impact in a collision is extended by 3 times, by hour much is
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The force of the impact would be smaller

Explanation:                                                          Examples:

If the force is big then the time would be small (2500N of Force = 10 seconds)

If the force is small then the time would be big (250N of Force = 50 seconds)

Impulse/Collision -> [Ft] = [M (vf-vo)] <- Change in momentum
