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.

A slice of cheese has a mass of 40 g and a volume of 23 cm^3. What is the density of the cheese in units of g/cm^3 and g/mL?
Mila [183]

The mathematical and proportional relationship between mL and cm ^ 3 said us that 1cm ^ 3 is equivalent to 1mL.

If the density is considered as the amount of mass per unit volume we will have to

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

here,

m = mass

V = Volume

Replacing we have that

\rho = \frac{40g}{23cm^3}

\rho = 1.739g/cm^3

As 1mL = 1cm^3 we have that the density in g/mL is,

\rho = 1.739g/mL

Which list shows the development of atomic models in chronological order?
ratelena [41]
The correct option is PLUM PUDDING, SOLAR SYSTEM, ELECTRON CLOUD. 
J. J Thompson was the scientist who proposed the plum pudding theory of atomic model. Neil Borh was the one who developed the solar system model of atomic theory while the electron cloud model of atomic theory that is presently been used was developed by an Australian scientist called Erwin Schrodinger.<span />

Calculate the effective value of g , the acceleration of gravity, at 6800 km , above the Earth's surface.
horrorfan [7]
9.79395 m/s²
2.44228 m/s²
Explanation:
m = Mass of the Earth = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg
G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²
r = Radius of Earth = 6371000 km
a) at h = 6400 m

g = 9.79395 m/s²
b) at h = 6400000 m

g = 2.44228 m/s² I believe
