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

Physics

"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 block is pulled along a horizontal surface at a constant speed by a force (14.1i 0 j 5.1k). The direction k is perpendicular t
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

W =84.6\ Nm

Explanation:

given,

F = 14.1 i + 0 j + 5.1 k

displacement = 6 m

Assuming block is moving in x- direction

we know,

 dW = F dx

\int dW = F\int dx

W = F\int_0^6 dx

W = F[x]_0^6

W = 14.1 \times 6

W =84.6\ Nm

hence, work done by the force is equal to W =84.6\ Nm

What additions must you make to the cell for it to generate a standard emf?
xeze [42]
Answer: Addition of salt bridge

To generate a standard electromotive force, an addition of salt bridge is essential to help maintain electrical neutrality within the internal circuit and prevent the cell from rapidly running its reaction to equilibrium.
In addition, salt bridge contains potassium sulfate, an inert electrolyte where its ions will diffuse into the separate half-cells to stabilize the building charges at the electrodes and produce electricity.
