What direction does air resistance act on an object that is falling straight down

Physics
1 answer:
MissTica3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Up

Explanation:

The direction where air resistance act will always be opposite to where the object is going.

Since the object is going down, the air resistance would go up.

Which electromagnetic wave has the lowest frequencies (less than 3×109 hertz)?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Radio waves

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum includes all different types of waves, which are usually classified depending on their frequency. Ordering them from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency, they are:

- Gamma rays

- X-rays

- Ultraviolet

- Visible light

- Infrared radiation

- Microwaves

- Radio waves

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency, their frequency is lower than 300 GHz (3\cdot 10^{11} Hz) and therefore they are the electromagnetic waves with lowest energy (in fact, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to its frequency). They are generally used for radio and telecommunications since this type of waves can travel up to long distances.

Suppose that the angular separation of two stars is 0.1 arcseconds, and you photograph them with a telescope that has an angular
Crank

Answer: the photograph will likely show only one star.

Explanation:

Since their angular separation is smaller than the telescope's angular resolution, the picture will apparently show only one star rather than two.

your friend sit in a sked in the snow. if you apply a force of 120 N to them, they have an acceleration of 1.3 m/s2. what is the
levacccp [35]
Need to know the equation for force
F=MA
F is force
M is mass- we need to know the mass
A is acceleration
use "x" for mass
120 N= 1.3x
divide 1.3 in both side
kg unit for mass
X=92.31 kg 
or 
mass = 92.31 kg
Hope this helps

a baby carriage is sitting on the top of a hill that is 21 m high. the carriage with a baby 75kg. the carriage has what energy?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

It has potential energy

PE = 15450.75 J

Explanation:

we know its potential energy because the carriage is not moving, although it can

PE = mgh

in this case, m is 75, h is 21, and g is always 9.81

plug these in: PE = (75) (21) (9.81)

your answer: PE = 15450.75 J
