Starting from rest, the distance a freely-falling object will fall in 0.50 second is?

Physics

FinnZ [79.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

1.23 m

Explanation:

The vertical distance covered by a free-falling object starting from rest in a time t is

y=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem, we have

t = 0.50 s

So the distance covered is

y=\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(0.50 s)^2=1.23 m

Suppose that a block of mass 2 kg is pulled to the right with a force of 10 N, and the friction force on the block is directed t
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The block has an acceleration of 3 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

By means of Newton's second law it can be determine the acceleration of the block.

\sum F_{r} = ma   (1)

Where \sum F_{r} represents the net force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

F_{x} + F{y} = ma  (2)

The forces present in x are F = 10 N and f = 4 N (the friction force):

F_{x} = 10 N - 4 N

Notice that f subtracts to F since it is at the opposite direction.

F_{x} = 6 N

The forces present in y balance each other:

F_{y} = 0

Therefore:

6 + 0 = ma  

6 N = (2kg)a  (3)

But 1 N = 1 Kg.m/s^{2} and writing (3) in terms of a it is get:

a = \frac{6 Kg.m/s^{2}}{2 Kg}  

a = 3 m/s^{2}

So the block has an acceleration of a = 3 m/s^{2}.

What is the difference between gravitational force and the force of gravity
statuscvo [17]

This might help and it might not:

Gravitation is the acting force between two bodies. On the other hand, gravity is the force occurring between an object and the very big object earth. Every object with some mass exerts the gravitational force on every other object having some mass. This force and its strength depend on the masses of the objects under consideration. Gravity helps to keep the planets to move in their orbit around the sun.

Gravitation is the force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe. In our universe, each object attracts each other with a certain amount of force. The large distance of separation is the main reason for its weak nature.

Gravity is the weakest type of fundamental force in nature. Still, it holds together the entire solar systems and galaxies.

Gravity has the existence with unlimited range.

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile, they have the same __________.
Elan Coil [88]

None of the choices is correct.

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile,
they have the same average speed.  But their velocities
are not the same unless both runners begin and end their
run at the same points.

Speed is   (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance).

Velocity is not.  It's something different. 
'Velocity' is not just a bigger word for 'speed'.
