How is the acceleration of falling objects affected by gravity

Physics
1 answer:
Oliga [24]4 years ago

Gravity is the CAUSE of 'falling', and the cause of acceleration
while falling. 

Objects falling near the Earth's surface all have the same acceleration ...
about 9.8 m/s².

A stuntman with a mass of 82.5 kg swings across a pool of water from a rope that is 12.0 m. At the bottom of the swing the stunt
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The stuntman will not make it

Explanation:

At the bottom of the swing, the equation of the forces acting on the stuntman is:

T-mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where:

T is the tension in the rope (upward)

mg is the weight of the man (downward), where

m = 82.5 kg is his mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

m\frac{v^2}{r} is the centripetal force, where

v = 8.65 m/s is the speed of the man

r = 12.0 m is the radius of the circule (the length of the rope)

Solving for T, we find the tension in the rope:

T=mg+m\frac{v^2}{r}=(82.5)(9.8)+(82.5)\frac{8.65^2}{12.0}=1322 N

Since the rope's breaking strength is 1000 N, the stuntman will not make it.

If the building absorbed so much heat that it turned into a liquid, then it would have undergone a phase change known as _____.
docker41 [41]
The building is in solid phase. Its molecules are arranged in a ver compact manner that is why it takes a definite shape and volume. When it is heated, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. This is characterized by more frequent collisions. The rise in temperature causes the molecules to move rapidly by vibrating. When it reaches an amount of energy that causes the solid to change phase, this is called the latent energy. The molecules break their form and move farther away from each other until it resembles that of a liquid melting. This phase change is known as melting. The energy that must be reached to achieve melting is the latent heat of fusion.
