Why are objects that fall near earths surface rarely in free fall?

Physics
1 answer:
marissa [1.9K]3 years ago
8 0

"Free fall" means that gravity is the ONLY force acting on the object.  If there's air resistance, then it isn't free-fall.  

Objects that fall near earths surface are ALWAYS falling through air, unless they're inside some kind of a vacuum chamber with all the air removed from it.

A wave is moving at 18 m/s. If its wavelength is 3 meters, what is its frequency?
Vlada [557]

here's the solution,

we know that,

=》

wave \: speed = wavelength \times frequency

so,

=》

18 = 3 \times f

=》

f =  \dfrac{18}{3}

=》

f = 6

frequency = 6 hertz

How do the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition affect the ecoregions of Texas? Give a specific example of how each
NISA [10]

Answer:

Weathering, erosion, and deposition from the terrestrial surface topography and soil characteristics. These processes, for example, have formed a variety of landforms in Texas like beaches, plateaus, mountains, and canyons as well as soil types like fertile soil, clay-rich soil, and sandy soil. The combination of topography, soil, and climatic conditions in an area defines the types of habitats that the area can support this is crucial to ecoregion classification. Ten separate ecoregions occur in Texas including 1) East Texas Pineywoods, 2) Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes, 3) Oak Woods and Prairies, 4) Blackland Prairie, 5) cross timbers and prairies (6) Rolling Plains, (7) High Plains, (8) TransPecos, (9) South Texas Plains, (Brush Country), and (10) Edwards Plateau. Such ecoregions are named for the major types of habitats topographical features (e.g. Edwards Plateau) present in their areas. The weathering, erosion, and deposition of each of these ecoregions have an important influence.
