What is true about an object in free fall?

Physics
1 answer:
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.

When a boat is placed in liquid, two forces act on the boat. Gravity pulls the boat down with a force equal to the weight of the
wel

Answer:

the fraction of submerged volume is equal to the ratio of the densities of the body between the density of the fluid.

Explanation:

This is a fluid mechanics problem, where as the boat is in equilibrium with the pushing force we can write Newton's second law

                  B- W = 0

                  B = W

           

the thrust force is equal to the weight of the liquid that is dislodged

                  B = ρ g V

we substitute

             ρ g V = m g

             V = m /ρ_fluid          1

we can write the mass of the pot as a function of its density

             ρ_body = m / V_body

            m = ρ_body  V_body

             V_fluid / V_body = ρ_body / ρ _fluid         2

Equations 1 and 2 are similar, although 2 is easier to analyze, the fraction of submerged volume is equal to the ratio of the densities of the body between the density of the fluid.

The effect appears the pot as if it had a lower apparent weight

Determine W (or fuel energy) required to launch a satellite of mass m at rest from a launching pad placed at the surface earth,
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

5. 9GmM/(10R)

Explanation:

m is the mass of the satellite

M is the mass of the earth

W is the energy required to launch the satellite

Energy at earth surface = Potential energy (PE) + W

W = Energy at earth surface - Potential energy (PE)

But PE = -\frac{GMm}{R}

Therefore: W = Energy at earth surface - \frac{GMm}{R}

Energy at earth surface (E) at an altitude of 5R = -\frac{GMm}{5r} +\frac{1}{2}mV^2

But V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} }

Therefore: E=-\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{1}{2}m(\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} } )^2=  -\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{GMm}{10R}  = -\frac{GMm}{10R}

W = E - PE

W=-\frac{GMm}{10R}-(-\frac{GMm}{R})=-\frac{GMm}{10R}+\frac{GMm}{R}=\frac{9GMm}{10R} \\W=\frac{9GMm}{10R}

to measure the static friction coefficient between a block and a vertical wall, a spring is attached to the block, is pushed on
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

μ = mg/kx

Explanation:

Since the bock does not slip, the frictional force equals the weight of the block. So, F = mg. Now, the frictional force, F = μN where μ = coefficient of static friction and N = Normal force.

Now, the normal force equals the spring force F' = kx where k = spring constant and x = compression of spring.

N = F' = kx

So, F = μN = μkx

μkx = mg

So, μ = mg/kx
