An object accelerating only under the force of gravity is A) free fall or B) acceleration due to gravity

Physics
1 answer:
Andrews [41]3 years ago
3 0
-- An object acted on by only the force of gravity, on or near Earth's surface,
accelerates downward at the rate of about 9.8 m/s² without air resistance. 

-- That number is "the acceleration due to gravity, on Earth".

-- The object in that situation is said to be in "free fall".

4. How do ordinary objects behave in microgravity?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Bubbles paused

Explanation:

the air bubble doesn't rise because it is no lighter than the water around it—there's no buoyancy. The droplet doesn't fall from the leaf because there's no force to pull it off. It's stuck there by molecular adhesion.

for instance, onto the International Space Station, gravity becomes negligible, and the laws of physics act differently than here on Earth

On Earth, the buoyancy of the air bubbles causes them to rise to the top together, creating a segregation between air and water. However, in microgravity, nothing forces the air bubbles to interact and thus rise together, Green said.

Please HELP ME If the motion of an object changes, what must be true about the forces acting on that object?
atroni [7]

Answer:

If there is a net force acting on an object, the object will have an acceleration and the object's velocity will change. ... Newton's second law states that for a particular force, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

A friend on skis stands still on level ground, with dry 0.00°C with a coefficient of static friction of 0.0300. How hard would y
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

20.6 N

Explanation:

Friction equals normal force times coefficient of friction.

F = Fn μ

On level ground, normal force equal weight.

Fn = W

Therefore:

F = W μ

F = (685 N) (0.0300)

F = 20.6 N

Why does the speed of an object change when a force acts on it?
Crazy boy [7]
It changes because force is somewhat like pressure. Force is continuously against the object so as a result, speed changes .

Suppose a uniform electric field of 4N/C is in the positive x direction. When a charge is placed and at a fixed to the origin, t
Levart [38]

Answer:

3N/C

Explanation:

Thinking process:

Let, electric field of 4N/C is in the positive x direction, that is + 4 NC

And the the resulting electric field on the x axis at x =2m

Therefore, based on the data above, the net charge must be in the positive direction. Thus, the magnitude is given by the equation:

q = \frac{Er^{2} }{k} \\   = \frac{4 (4)}{9*10^{4} } \\   = \frac{16}{9}NC

Now considering that at x = + 4 NC, the net charge will be:

E_{net} = E_{0} + E_{q}   \\             = 4 -(\frac{9*10^{} }{16}*\frac{16}{9} * 10^{-90})\\             = 3 (N/C)
