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.

A car accelerates at 3 m/s*2. Assuming the car starts from rest, how much time does it need to
uranmaximum [27]
<h3><u>Given</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Acceleration,a = 3 m/s²

Initial velocity,u = 0 m/s

Final velocity,v = 12 m/s

<h3><u>To</u><u> </u><u>be</u><u> </u><u>calculated:-</u><u> </u></h3>

Calculate the time take by a car.

<h3><u>Solution:-</u><u> </u></h3>

According to the first equation of motion:

v = u + at

★ Substituting the values in the above formula,we get:

⇒ 12 = 0 + 3 × t

⇒ 12 = 3t

⇒ 3t = 12

⇒ t = 12/3

⇒ t = 4 sec

Which theory states that if you are forced to smile at an event, you will enjoy it? A. The Schachter-Singer theory B. The Lazaru
Ronch [10]

Answer:

C. The facial feedback theory

Explanation:

The facial feedback theory as postulated by William James and connects back to the famous Charles Darwin talks about how facial expressions stimulate our emotional state of being. Based on this theory, the emotional experiences we have are determined by the looks on our faces.

According to the question, smiling at an event makes you enjoy it is an example of what the The facial feedback theory is explaining. Furthermore, smiling, which is a facial expression causes or stimulates an emotional state of enjoyment in that event.

a crate is being lifted into a truck. if it is moved with a 2470n force and 3650 j of work is done , then how far is the crate b
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The crate was being lifted by a height of 1.48 meters.

Explanation:

In an attempt o move a crate;

Force applied = 2470 N

Work done by the force = 3650 J

We know that the work done is defined as the force used to move an object to a distance.

Given the Force used and the work done by that Force, we need to find out the distance the crate was lifted to.

Work done is defined as:

Work = Force*distance covered in the direction of the force

3650 = 2470*distance

distance = 3650/2470

distance = 1.48 meters
