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

Physics

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 .

Two motorcycles are traveling in opposite directions at the same speed when one of the cyclists blasts her horn, which has frequ
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

6ms^-1

Explanation:

Given that the frequency difference is

( 563- 544) = 19

So alsoThe wavelength of each wave is = v/f = 344 /544

and there are 19 of this waves

So it is assumed that each motorcycle has moved 0.5 of this distance

in one second thus the speed of the motorcycles will be

=> 19/2 x 344/544 = 6.0 m/s

a boy steps off the end of a high diving board and drops into the water below. it takes the boy 0.78 seconds to reach the water.
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

7.644 feet

Explanation:

Free fall means that an object is falling freely with no forces acting upon it except gravity, a defined constant, g = -9.8 m/s2. The distance the object falls, or height, h, is 1/2 gravity x the square of the time falling.

An open pipe, 0.29 m long, vibrates in the second overtone with a frequency of 1,227 Hz. In this situation, the fundamental freq
Andru [333]

Answer:

f = 409 Hz

Explanation:

We have,

Length of the open organ pipe, l = 0.29 m

Frequency of vibration of second overtone, f_2 = 1227 Hz

It is required to find the fundamental frequency of the pipe. For the open organ pipe, the frequency of second overtone is given by :

f_2=\dfrac{3v}{2l}

v is speed of sound

Let f is the fundamental frequency. It is given by :

f=\dfrac{v}{2l}

The relation between f and f₂ can be written as :

f_2=3f\\\\f=\dfrac{f_2}{3}\\\\f=\dfrac{1227}{3}\\\\f=409\ Hz

So, the fundamental frequency of the pipe is 409 Hz.
