If a freely falling rock were equipped with a speedometer, by how much would itd speed readings increase with each second if it

were on a planet wreg=20m/s2?

" 20 m/s² " means that if gravity is the ONLY force on the object
(the object is in 'free fall'), then its speed increases by  20 m/s
every second.

That's the answer to your question.  Now, let me ask you
another one:

How does a speedometer tied to a falling rock work ?
How can it measure the rock's speed ?

Maybe one way would be to have a little tiny propeller on
the front of the speedometer, and it could measure how fast
the propeller is spinning as the rock falls through the air ?
Great idea.  But we already said the rock is in free-fall,
so there's no air resistance, we can't have any air, and
there's nothing to spin the propeller.

How would you do it ?  How can you measure the rock's speed ?

Which statement is true for objects in dynamic equilibrium?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is objects have zero acceleration.

Explanation:

Before answering the question, first we have to understand dynamic equilibrium .

A body moving with uniform velocity is said to be in dynamic equilibrium if the net external forces acting on the body is zero. Hence, the body is under balanced forces.

If the external forces acting on a body is not balanced, then the body will accelerate which will destroy its equilibrium condition. Hence, the necessary and sufficient condition for a body to be in dynamic equilibrium is that the forces are balanced.

When a body is in dynamic equilibrium, the body moves with uniform velocity along a straight line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced forces.

Hence, the rate of change of velocity or acceleration of the body will be zero.
