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

2 answers:

6 0

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.

Two men pull on a 31-kg box with forces 8.3 N and 6.6 N in opposite directions.

kykrilka [37]

The resultant acceleration of the box is 0.055 m/s² in the direction of the greater force.

The given parameters:

Mass of the box, m = 31 kg
Two applied forces, = 8.3 N and 6.6 N

<h3>Resultant force on the box</h3>

The resultant force on the box is calculated as follows;

$F_{net} = F_1 - F_2\\\\F_{net} = 8.3 \ N - \ 6.6 \ N\\\\F_{net} = 1.7 \ N$

<h3>Resultant acceleration of the box</h3>

The resultant acceleration of the box is calculated as follows;

$F = ma\\\\a = \frac{F}{m} \\\\a = \frac{1.7}{31} \\\\a = 0.055 \ m/s^2$

Thus, the resultant acceleration of the box is 0.055 m/s² in the direction of the greater force.
