The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.

All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.

If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.

A human hair is approximately 56 µm in diameter.
Ann [662]

Answer:

The diameter is 0.000056 m

Explanation:

Lets explain the relation between the meter and the micrometer

1 Meter is equal to 1000000 (one million) micrometers

1 micrometer = \frac{1}{1000000}=\frac{1}{10^{6}}=10^{-6}

The symbol of the meter is m

The symbol of micrometer is μm

A human hair is approximately 56 µm in diameter

We need to express this diameter in meter

To do that we divide this number by 1,000,000 or multiply it by 10^{-6}

→ \frac{56}{1000000}=0.000056  56 µm = 0.000056 m

→ OR

→ 56*10^{-6}=0.000056

→ 56 µm = 0.000056 m

<em>The diameter is 0.000056 m</em>

un movil que parte del reposo alcanza una velocidad de 75 m/s en 13 segundos ¿cual su aceleracion y el espacio que recorrio en l
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Acceleration = 5.77 m/s²

Distance cover in 13 seconds = 487.56 meter

Explanation:

Given:

Final velocity of mobile device = 75 m/s

initial velocity of mobile device = 0 m/s

Time taken = 13 seconds

Find:

Acceleration

Distance cover in 13 seconds

Computation:

v = u + at

75 = 0 + (a)(13)

13a = 75

a = 5.77

Acceleration = 5.77 m/s²

s = ut + (1/2)(a)(t²)

s = (0)(t) + (1/2)(5.77)(13²)

Distance cover in 13 seconds = 487.56 meter

Help please physics !!
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Option A. 1 bar = 1 atm

Explanation:

Pressure has various units of measurement. Each unit of measurement can be converted to other units of measurement. For example:

1 atm = 1 bar

1 atm = 760 mmHg

1 atm = 760 torr

1 atm = 1×10⁵ N/m²

1 atm = 1×10⁵ Pa

With the above conversion scale we can convert from one unit to the other.

Considering the question given above, it is evident from the coversion scale illustrated above that only option A is correct.

Thus,

1 bar = 1 atm

A rectangular box has side 10cm x 5cm x 2cm. If it lies on a horizontal surface and has weight 1.00N, calculate the maximum and
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

P max = 1000 pa

P min = 200 pa

Explanation:

P = F/A

pressure will be maximum when surface gets minimum. so to find the maximum amount of pressure we need to calculate the minimum surface. it is 2cm×5cm = 10cm² = 0.001m² . then we have:

P = 1 / 0.001 = 1000 pa

to find minimum pressure the surface that must be chosen is 10cm×5cm = 50cm² = 0.005m² .

P = 1 / 0.005 = 200 pa
