Answer:
The kinetic energy of the phone would increase. The gravitational potential energy of the phone would decrease.
Explanation:
The kinetic energy
of an object is proportional to the square of the speed of that object. If air resistance is negligible, the phone would accelerate under gravitational pull and speed up. Hence, the kinetic energy of the phone would increase.
The gravitational field near the surface of the earth is approximately constant. Hence, the gravitational potential energy
of the phone would be proportional to its height. As the phone approaches the ground, the height of the phone becomes lower and the gravitational potential energy of the phone would decrease.
I think that by "Classical physics" is meant low speed things. By low speed, I think is meant speed far below very roughly half the speed of light, so that Relativistic, special or general, effects can be ignored. Or at least it is hoped that they can be ignored.
Fire extinguishers and rockets get propelled by forcing out large amounts of material (gases under very high pressure) through a nozzle, and the RECOIL from that propels something forward. So, if the action is the ejection of material, the reaction (recoil) is the ejector moving along the same line in the other direction. And that's an example of Newton's third law.
Given a propulsion system, the magnitude of the force recoiling on the ejector will change the momentum of the ejector, often written as the equation F=ma where F is the force, m is the mass being accelerated, and a being the acceleration.
Just as something will stay still until it is moved - inertia - so once set in uniform motion in a straight line, the thing will continue in that motion, theoretically for ever or until something alters its momentum. Newton's first law is to the effect of "every body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted on by a resultant external force". Which, I think, is where the concept of inertia stems from.
I think that the above mostly tcuches on the 3 laws.Any more help needed, please ask.
Answer:
It is a measure of the electric force per unit charge on a test charge.
Explanation:
The magnitude of the electric field is defined as the force per charge on the test charge.
Since we define electric field as the force per charge, it will have the units of force divided by the unit of charge. This implies that the SI unit of electric field is given as Newton/Coulomb (N/C).
