Why do all objects hit with the same velocity (ignoring air resistance) if dropped from the same height?

Physics
2 answers:
dlinn [17]3 years ago

the answer to this question  is A because If no air resistance is present, the rate of descent depends only on how far the object has fallen, no matter how heavy the object is. This means that two objects will reach the ground at the same time if they are dropped simultaneously from the same height. ... In air, a feather and a ball do not fall at the same rate.

Answer: C)Acceleration due to gravity affects all bodies the same since it depends primarily on the gravity of the planet, not on the object being dropped.

       

Explanation:

Using equation of motion,

v^{2}=u^{2}+2gh

where v= final velocity , u= initial velocity , h= height from where object is dropped ,acceleration due to gravity , g=\frac{GM}{R^{2}}

G= universal gravitational constant, M=mass of planet , R= radius of planet

Therefore g depends on mass and radius of planet .

=>If all objects are dropped from same height with zero initial speed the final speed depends only on acceleration due to gravity which is a property of planet taken into consideration and does not depend on the object.

For example if a piece of paper and a heavy stone are dropped from the same height with zero initial speed then both objects will have same final speed .

The resultant of two forces acting on the same point simultaneously will be the greatest when the angle between them is:a) 180 d
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

0 degrees

Explanation:

Let F_1\ and\ F_2 are two forces. The resultant of two forces acting on the same point is given by :

F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2\ cos\theta}

Where \theta is the angle between two forces

When \theta=0 i.e. when two forces are parallel to each other,

F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2\ cos(0)}

F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2}

When \theta=90^{\circ} i.e. when two forces are parallel to each other,

F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+F_1F_2\ cos(90)}

F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2}

When \theta=180^{\circ} i.e. when two forces are parallel to each other,

F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+F_1F_2\ cos(180)}

F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2-2F_1F_2}

It is clear that the resultant of two forces acting on the same point simultaneously will be the greatest when the angle between them is 0 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.

Identify solar, wind, nuclear, and tidal power as nonrenewable or renewable energy
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Renewable energy: Tidal, solar and wind

Non renewable energy: nuclear power

Explanation:

Renewable energy is any energy in which its source is always replenished or renewed.

While non renewable energy sources cannot be replenished or renewed immediately because of its limited availability of resources.

Most renewable energy sources are natural sources.

Solar, tidal and wind energy are renewable energy known as clean energy. While nuclear energy is a non renewable energy in which its source of energy is fuel ( uranium e.t.c)

Wildlife biologists are attempting to monitor the population size of the insect pest known as the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar)
Elden [556K]

Answer: Option A: The number of trees sampled.

The accuracy can be understood as how close is the measured value to the true value.   The aim is to monitor the population size of the insect pest in a 50 square kilometer. Random trees are selected, and number of eggs and larvae are counted. So, the measured value would be closer to actual value when the number of trees sampled are increased. More the number of trees sampled, less would be the chances of error and the accuracy of the estimate would increase.

. Calculate the kinetic energy of a 100.0-kg meteor approaching the Earth at a speed of 10.0 km/s. Remember that 1 km = 1000 m.
anastassius [24]
Ke = (1/2)mv²

m = 100kg, v = 10 km/s = 10*1000 = 10000m/s

Ke = (1/2)*100*10000 

Ke = 500000 Joules
