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.

A person throws a ball straight up in the air. The ball rises to a maximum height and then falls back down so that the person ca
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The acceleration is about 9.8 m/s2 (down) when the ball is falling.

Explanation:

The ball at maximum height has velocity zero

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² (positive downward and negative upward)

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=u-9.8\times t\\\Rightarrow u=9.8t

The accleration 9.8 m/s² will always be acting on the body in opposite direction when the body is going up and in the same direction when the body is going down. The acceleration on the body will never be zero

A train traveled 350km in 2.5h. what was the average speed of the train?
MaRussiya [10]
Speed equals distance divided by time, so 350 divided by 2.5 equals 140 kilometers per hour.

A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Reaction force of the ground

R = mg

= 160 N

Maximum friction force possible

= μ x R

= μ x 160

= .4 x 160

= 64 N .

b )

 160 N will act at middle point . 740N will act at distance of 3 / 5 m from the wall ,

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3/5 + f x 4 = 900 x 3

240 + 444 + 4f = 2700

f = 504 N

c )

Let x be the required distance.  

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3 x / 5 + .4 x 900 x 4  = 900 x 3  ( .4 x 900 is the maximum friction possible )

240 + 444 x + 1440  = 2700

x = 2.3  m

so man can go upto 2.3 at which maximum friction acts .
