True or false:In free fall the object with less air resistance falls with a greater acceleration

Air resistance is an upward force, so it subtracts from the force of gravity. If two objects are falling, then the one with less air resistance feels more of the force of gravity, and falls with greater acceleration. <em>(True)</em>

This is not "free fall". The definition of 'free fall' is the situation where the ONLY force on the object is the force of gravity. If there's any air resistance, then it's not 'free fall'.

It should be true, the air resistance of the other one would fall slower.

What will be the pressure exerterd by the 0bject if 4000n is acting on an area of 50msqure

Ivahew [28]

<h3>Given, </h3>

Force,F = 4000 N

Area,a = 50 m²

<h3>We know that, </h3>

Pressure = Force/Area

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

$\sf \rightarrow \: pressure = \dfrac{4000}{50}$

$\sf \rightarrow pressure = 80 \: N {m}^{ - 2}$

A person carries a mass of 10 kg and walks along the +x-axis for a distance of 100m with a constant velocity of 2 m/s. What is t

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Since the direction of the force and the direction of the path is perpendicular, the person is not doing any physical work.

You push very hard on a heavy desk, trying to move it. You do work on the desk:

frozen [14]

Answer:

(C) Only if it starts moving

Explanation:

We know that work done is given by

$W=F.d=Fdcos\Theta$

So there are two case in which work done is zero

First case is that when force and displacement are perpendicular to each other

And other case is that when there is no displacement

So for work to be done there must have displacement, if there is no displacement then there is no work done

So option (c) will be the correct option
