If a coin is dropped at a relatively low altitude, it's acceleration remains constant. However, if the coin is dropped at a very high altitude, air resistance will have a significant effect. The initial acceleration of the coin will be the greatest. As it falls down, air resistance will counteract the weight of the coin. So, the acceleration will decrease. Although the acceleration decreases, the coin still accelerates, that is why it falls faster. When the air resistance fully counters the weight of the coin, the acceleration will become zero and the coin will fall at a constant speed (terminal velocity). So, the answer should be, The acceleration decreases until it reaches 0. The closest answer is.
a. The acceleration decreases.

Answer:

The increase in speed leads to an increase in the amount of air resistance. Eventually, the force of air resistance becomes large enough to balances the force of gravity. At this instant in time, the net force is 0 Newton; the object will stop accelerating. The object is said to have reached a terminal velocity.

What is the IMA of the following pulley system?<br><br>34567
Lynna [10]

Answer:

    IMA of given system =   \frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }

Explanation:

  • The "Ideal Mechanical advantage" (IMA) of given pulley is \frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} } .
  • Ideal Mechanical advantage of a system is defined by the ratio of achieved or output force to the implied force. In the pulley system above, output force is the resistant force denoted by F_{r}. The input force is analogous or equivalent to the effort applied i.e. F_{e} .
  • Hence by dividing these two forces we calculate the IMA of the above mentioned pulley system which is  \frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} } .
  • Its mathematical reference would be:

                                                IMA =   \frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }

Explain why a cow that touches an electric fence experiences a mild shock
Minchanka [31]
The voltage exists between the fence and the ground.  The cow is grounded. The cow is touching the ground, completing the circuit of electricity. <span>When the cow comes into contact with the fence, it becomes an electric ground which sends an electric current into the cow, through the cow, and into the ground. The pain experienced from the shock is due to the current that flows through the cow.</span>
