Answer:

D. The object will continue to move with a constant velocity

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law also known as law of inertia, states that an object at rest will remain at rest or, if in motion, will remain in motion at constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.

Therefore, An object moving in the absence of a net force will continue to move at a constant velocity

nalin [4]

Answer:

He has a speed of 16.60m/s after 35.0 meters.

Explanation:

The final velocity can be determined by means of the equations for a Uniformly Accelerated Rectilinear Motion:

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2} + 2ad$

$v_{f} = \sqrt{v_{i}^{2} + 2ad}$ (1)

The acceleration can be found by means of Newton's second law:

$\sum F_{net} = ma$

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

$Fx + Fy = ma$ (2)

All the forces can be easily represented in a free body diagram, as it is shown below.

Forces in the x axis:

$F_{x} = F - F_{air}$ (3)

Forces in the y axis:

$F_{y} = 0$ (4)

Solving for the forces in the x axis:

$F_{x} = F - F_{air}$

Where $F = 1.150x10^{3} N$ and $F_{air} = 795 N$ :

$F_{x} = 1.150x10^{3} N - 795 N$

$F_{x} = 355 N$

Replacing in equation (2) it is gotten:

$Fx + Fy = ma$

$355 N + 0 N = (90.0 Kg)a$

$355 N = (90.0 Kg)a$

$a = \frac{355 N}{90.0Kg}$

$a = \frac{355 Kg.m/s^{2}}{90.0Kg}$

$a = 3.94 m/s^{2}$

So the acceleration for the cyclist is $3.94 m/s^{2}$ , now that the acceleration is known, equation (1) can be used:

$v_{f} = \sqrt{v_{i}^{2} + 2ad}$

However, since he was originally at rest its initial velocity will be zero ( $v_{i} = 0$ ).

$v_{f} = \sqrt{2ad}$

$v_{f} = \sqrt{2(3.94m/s^{2})(35.0m)}$

$v_{f} = 16.60m/s$

He has a speed of 16.60m/s after 35.0 meters

What acceleration does the force of earth's gravity peoduce

maksim [4K]

Near Earth's surface, gravitational acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s2, which means that, ignoring the effects of air resistance, the speed of an object falling freely will increase by about 9.81 metres per second every second.
