What is true about an object in free fall?

Physics

salantis [7]3 years ago

The only force being acted upon it is gravity. A ball that was thrown downward off a building isn't in freefall, because it had initial velocity. A piece of paper can't necessarily be in free fall because it is affected by air resistance.

Why do things become hot or cold?<br> Relate to Thermal Energy and The Law of Conservation of Energy
Mekhanik [1.2K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Things become hot and cold because of the transfer of energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The energy possessed by an object or system is called thermal energy and heat is the flow of this energy. While the law of conversation of energy states that energy is not destroyed or created, it just transfers from one object to another.  

When a hot object is placed in normal conditions, it transfers heat to the environment until both are at the same temperature and heat transfers from the environment to the cold objects placed in normal conditions.

What is Young’s interference? (b) How should the number of observable interference fringes change as the distance between the tw
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

b) increase.

c) decrease.

d) Fringe is said to be a missing fringe  when interference maxima overlap with diffraction minima.

Explanation:

a ) Young's interference is the interference phenomenon related to the light waves. Interference  is the superposition of light waves . It proved the wave nature of light .  Interference can be either constructive or destructive.

b) If the distance between the two slits increases, the number of fringes also increases. d sinθ = m λ. Here d is the slit width and m is the order of fringes. It shows that as d increases, m also increases.

c) Similarly, as d decreases , number of fringes decrease.

d) Fringe is said to be a missing fringe  when interference maxima overlap with diffraction minima.

Jack and Jill are on two different floors of their high rise office building and looking out of their respective windows. Jack s
Maru [420]

Answer:

a) speed when Jack sees the pot : 12.92 meters per second

b) height difference 163.115 meters

Explanation:

First to calculate te initial speed we use the acceleration formula:

a= v1-v0/t

Acceleration being gravity's acceleration (9.8 m/s^2)

v1 being the speed when Jill sees the pot

v0 when Jack sees it

and t the time between

Solving for v0 it would be

v1 - a*t = v0

replacing

58 m/s -  9.8 m/s^2 *4.6 s = v0 = 12.92 m/s

For the second question we use the position formula setting y0 and t0 as the position and time when jack sees the pot. (and setting the positive axis downward I.E. one meter below jack would be 1m not -1m)

The formula is

y0 + v0*t + 1/2 g *t^2 = yt

replacing

0m + 12.92m/s* 4.6 s + 1/2 * 9.8 m/s^2 * (4.6 s)^2 = 163.115 m
