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

Physics

Yuki888 [10]3 years ago

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.

Determine the kinetic energy of 650 kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 20.0 miles per second?
mestny [16]

Answer:Ek=673.109 kJ

Explanation:

Use equation for Kinetic energy: Ek=m*V²/2

m=650 kg (mass of roller coaster)

V=20.0Miles/s=20.0*1.609m/s=32.18m/s

Ek=m*V²/2

Ek=650kg*(32.18m/s)²

Ek=(650kg*1053.55m²/s²)/2

Ek=673 108.8 J

Ek=673.109 kJ

Someone fires a 0.04 kg bullet at a block of wood that has a mass of 0.5 kg. (The block of wood is sitting on a frictionless sur
lidiya [134]

Answer:

22.22m/s

Explanation:

The momentum before a collision = momentum after collision so...

work out the momentum of the first object (the bullet)

its p = mv

0.04 kg × 300 m/s  = 0.54 kg × v

rearrange this to find v which is 0.04 x 300 = 12

so 12 = 0.54 x v

    12/0.5 = v

    v = 22.22m/s

hope this helps!

The second law of thermodynamics allows us to conclude that which of the following statements are true? The second law of thermo
klasskru [66]

Answer:

The disorder in the universe is increasing with time.

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that the amount of entropy in the universe increases over time. Entropy expresses the number of different configurations that a system defined by macroscopic variables could assume. Therefore, is can be interpreted as a measure of the disorder, or randomness of a system.
