Do heavier objects fall more slowly than lighter objects?

Physics
1 answer:
vredina [299]3 years ago
4 0

Depending on the surface area and weight, either can fall slower.

<u>Explanation: </u>

If you were to drop a feather and a brick off a building at the same height, the brick would reach the ground first. This is due to air resistance and how it slows the feather down compared to the brick. The surface area of the feather creates more resistance compared to its weight, therefore it hits the ground slower. It really all depends on the surface area, weight and the air resistance it creates.

If all air resistance were to be removed, then what would happen is that the two objects would fall and reach the ground at the same time. This is because the objects are in free fall, and because they are in free fall, the two objects would be falling at an acceleration of 9.81 m/s². This is true for all objects in free fall.

you and your friend left a bus terminal at the same time and traveled in opposite directions. Your bus was in heavy traffic and
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The rate at which bus 1 is going is 55 mph

The rate at which bus 1 is going is 35 mph

Explanation:

As per the question:

Suppose, the distance traveled by Bus 1 be 'd' at the rate R after a time, t = 3h

Thus  

Suppose, the distance traveled by Bus 1 be 'd'' at the rate, R'20 mph slower than the rate of Bus 1 after the same time.

R' = R - 20

The distance is given as the product of rate and time:

d = Rt         (1)

Now, the total distance given is 270 miles:

d + d' = 270

Now, using eqn (1):

Rt + R't = 270

3(R + R - 20) = 270

6R = 270 + 60

R = 55 mph

R' = R - 20 = 55 - 20 = 35 mph

What is the net force experienced by the rope? Include both the magnitude and direction
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

All the physical world objects that comers in the contact to exert the force to each other. The contact forces are different from their names and what type of force they exert.

Explanation:

The cables and the ropes are the useful objects that exert the forces that can efficiently transfer the force from a significant distance.

It is noted that tension is a type of force that the rope can not simply push it away effectively. When push happened with rope, the rope goes to slack and lose all the tension that pulls at the first place. Tension only pull objects.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

we have to find the thickness of a single sheet in mm.

so,

50 = 0.5 cm

we know that

0.5 cm = 5 mm

NOW THICKNESS OF 50 SHEETS OF PAPER IS 5mm

•°• thickness of one sheet of paper will

5/50

= 0.1 cm

we have to find the answer in mm so

0.1 cm = 1 mm
