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

Physics
2 answers:
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.

What is the direction of the field halfway between two horizontal parallel wires if the top wire has a current of 4 A to the lef
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

A) Out of the page.

Explanation:

Right-hand rule points the direction of the magnetic field at any point.

<u>Top wire</u>: Current is to the left. Point your thumb to the left and curl your other fingers around the wire. The tips of the four fingers points the direction of the field at that point. In this case, out of the page.

<u>Bottom wire</u>: Current is to the right. Point your thumb to the right and curl your other fingers around the wire. The tips of the four finger points out of the page again.

So, the total field produced by both wires is directed out of the page.

Another method to figure out the direction is the mathematical method.

Use the B-field formula:

d\vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{Id\vec{l}\times \^r}{r^2}

The cross product between the direction of the current and the target position gives the direction of the B-field. If the left is -x direction and downwards is the -y direction, then

(-\^x) \times (-\^y) = +\^z for the top wire.

(+\^x) \times (+\^y) = +\^z for the bottom wire.

If you were to triple the size of the Earth (R = 3R⊕) and double the mass of the Earth (M = 2M⊕), how much would it change the g
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Decreased by a factor of 4.5

Explanation:

"We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}

where G =6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2 is the gravitational constant on Earth. M_1, M_2 are the masses of the object and Earth itself. and R distance between, or the Earth radius.

So when R is tripled and mass is doubled, we have the following ratio of the new gravity over the old ones:

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}}{G\frac{M_1m_2}{r^2}}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{\frac{M_2}{R^2}}{\frac{m_2}{r^2}}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{R^2}\frac{r^2}{m_2}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{m_2}(\frac{r}{R})^2

Since M_2 = 2m_2 and r = R/3

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{2}{3^2} = 2/9 = 1/4.5

So gravity would have been decreased by a factor of 4.5
