Objects in free fall accelerate due to ______

Physics
1 answer:
Charra [1.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Objects in free fall accelerate due to <u>gravity</u>.

Explanation:

Momentum can help an object to keep its state of motion at a constant velocity when no external force is applied. It can never accelerate the object.

According to the laws of motion, we know that acceleration is produced in a body only when a Force is applied in the direction of motion of body.

During a free fall, only the force of gravity is acting on an object and that too in the direction of its motion. Hence, the acceleration produced in a free falling object is due to gravity.

A horse pulls on an object with a force of 300 newtons and does 12,000 joules of work. How far was the object moved?
liubo4ka [24]
We know, work done = Force * displacement 
Here, w = 12,000 J
f = 300 N

Substitute their values into the expression:
12,000 = 300 * d
d = 12,000 / 300
d = 120/3
d = 40 m

In short, Your Answer would be 40 meters

Hope this helps!

Draw a picture of an atom.include protons,neutrons, and electrons.
gogolik [260]
Hey, unfortunately it’s impossible for me to draw one for you here, but you should be able to draw it yourself pretty easily!

Answer:


An atom is built with a combination of three distinct particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons. Each atom has a center nucleus, where the protons and neutrons are densely packed together. Surrounding the nucleus are a group of orbiting electrons. And here is a picture that may assist your further :

A mass M is attached to an ideal massless spring. When this system is set in motion with amplitude A, it has a period T. What is
Tasya [4]

Answer:

C) T

Explanation:

M = Mass attached to an ideal spring

A = Amplitude of the motion

T = Time period of oscillation

k = Spring constant of the spring

A = Amplitude of the motion

Time period of oscillation of the mass attached to the spring is given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{k} }

So we see that the time period does not depend on the amplitude. hence the period of oscillation remains the same.

A hammer taps on the end of a 4.10-m-long metal bar at room temperature. A microphone at the other end of the bar picks up two p
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Speed of sound inside metal is ≅ 8200 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Given :

Length of metal bar x = 4.10 m

From general velocity equation,

 v = \frac{x}{t}

Where v = speed of sound in air = 343 \frac{m}{s}

For finding time from above equation,

  t = \frac{x}{v}

 t = \frac{4}{343}

t = 0.01166 sec

Since pulses are separated by  t_{o} =  11.1 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0111 sec

So we take time difference,

\Delta t = t_{} -t_{o}  = 0.0005

So speed of sound in metal is,

 v = \frac{x}{\Delta t }

 v = \frac{4.10}{0.0005}

 v = 8200 \frac{m}{s}
