Answer:

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached free fall.

Explanation:

When an object has only force acting on it as gravity then, it experiences free fall.
During free fall all the forces except gravity is balanced by one another.
In the question, object's weight is balanced by air resistance so it is in the state of free fall.
At the null point of free fall, object experiences weightlessness i.e. it feels like object is not attracted by any force.

What is the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun?

expeople1 [14]

Answer: $3.524(10)^{22}N$

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the force $F$ exerted between two bodies of masses $m1$ and $m2$ and separated by a distance $r$ is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:

$F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{r^2}$ (1)

Where:

$G$ is the Gravitational Constant and its value is $6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$

$m1=1.99(10)^{30}kg$ is the mass of the Sun

$m2=5.972(10)^{24}kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$r=1.50(10)^{11}m$ is the distance between the Sun and the Earth

Substituting the values in (1):

$F=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}\frac{(1.99(10)^{30}kg)(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}{(1.50(10)^{11}m)^2}$ (2)

Finally:

$F=3.524(10)^{22}N$ This is the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun

25. You are asked to find the area of a room that is 4.56 m long and 5.668 m wide. How many significant

just olya [345]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The two dimensions have the following significant numbers

4.56- 3 significant numbers

5.668- 4 significant figures

When responding, we give area as per the most precise number given hence the smallest (most precise) significant figures in these two numbers is 3. Therefore, the area will be given to 3 significant figures ie

4.56*5.668=25.84608 square meters

Area=25.8 square meters

A spring with k = 53 N/m hangs vertically next to a ruler. The end of the spring is next to the 18 cm mark on the ruler. If a 2.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

1.07 m

Explanation:

x = Compression of the spring

k = Spring constant = 53 N/m

Initial length = 18 cm

P = Kinetic energy

K = Kinetic energy

At the lowest point of the mass the energy conservation is as follows

$P_{ig}+P_{is}+K_i=P_{fg}+P_{fs}+K_f\\\Rightarrow mgx+0+0=mgx+\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{2mg}{k}\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{2\times 2.4\times 9.81}{53}\\\Rightarrow x=0.89\ m$

At its lowest position the mark on the ruler will be

$x_f=0.18+0.89\\\Rightarrow x_f=1.07\ m$

The spring line will end up at 1.07 m
