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.

Could a car drive on a frictionless surface? Explain using the terms action
Julli [10]

Answer:

No, it cannot. The car needs the friction of the surface to drive because the car pushes the surface backwards, and the surfaces makes a reaction force pushing the car forward, and that works because of the friction. In a frictionless surface the tires would rotate in the same place

Two cars travel westward along a straight highway, one at a constant velocity of 85 km/h, and the other at a constant velocity o
spayn [35]

To solve letter a:

d1 = 85t1 = 16 km, 
85t1 = 16, 
t1 = 16 / 85 = 0.1882 h = 11.29 min. 

d2 = 115t2 = 16 km, 
115t2 = 16, 
t2 = 16 / 115 = 0.139 h = 8.35 min. 

t1 - t2 = 11.29 - 8.35 = 2.94 min. 
Car #2 arrives 2.94 minutes sooner.

To solve letter b:

15 min = 1/4 h = 0.25 h. 
d1 = d2, 
115t = 85(t + 0.25), 
115t = 85t + 21.25, 
115t - 85t = 21.25, 
30t = 21.25, 
t = 21.25 / 30 = 0.71 h, 

d = 115 * 0.71 = 81.65 km.
