Which single force acts on an object in free fall

Physics
2 answers:
Pavel [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Gravitational force

Explanation:

An object moving under free fall, the force acting on it is only gravity. The object move under the action of gravitational force. The force of gravity is always attractive. This force depends on the masses and the distance between masses.

Hence, force of gravity is the only force acting on the object when it is moving in free fall.

A rock is being twirled in a circle on the end of a string. The string provides the centripetal force needed to keep the ball mo
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The force of tension exerted by the string on the rock acts as centripetal force, so its direction is always towards the centre of the circle.

However, the direction of motion of the rock is always tangential to the circle: this means that the force is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the rock.

As we know, the work done by a force on an object is

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the force and the displacement

In this situation, F and d are perpendicular, so \theta=90^{\circ}, therefore cos \theta = 0 and the work done is zero:

W=0

The sound level at a distance of 2.30 m from a source is 115 dB. At what distance will the sound level have the following values
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

distance is 13 m for 100 dB

distance is 409 km for 10 dB

Explanation:

Given data

distance r = 2.30 m

source β = 115 dB

to find out

distance at sound level 100 dB and 10 dB

solution

first we calculate here power and intensity and with this power and intensity we will find distance

we know sound level  β  = 10 log(I/I_{0})        ......................a

put here value (I/I_{0}) = 10^−12 W/m² and  β = 115

115  = 10 log(I/10^−12)

so

I = 0.316228 W/m²

and we know power = intensity × 4π r²    ...............b

power = 0.316228 × 4π (2.30)²

power = 21.021604 W

we know at 100 dB intensity is 0.01 W/m²

so by equation b

power = intensity × 4π r²

21.021604 = 0.01 × 4π r²

so by solving r

r = 12.933855 m    = 13 m

distance is 13 m

and

at 10 dB intensity is 1 × 10^–11 W/m²

so by equation b

power = intensity × 4π r²

21.021604 = 1 × 10^–11 × 4π r²

by solving r we get

r = 409004.412465 m = 409 km

Acceleration occurs whenever an ___________________ force acts on an object.
leonid [27]
Acceleration occurs whenever the forces on an object are unbalanced.

It's the group of forces on the object that's either balanced or unbalanced.
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".

Two children who are bored while waiting for their flight at the airport decide to race from one end of the 20-m-long moving sid
QveST [7]

Answer: Phillipe wins the race

Explanation:

Given

Length of track=20 m

Velocity of Phillippe=2 m/s w.r.t sidewalk

Velocity of sidewalk=1.5 m/s

Rena velocity=2 m/s

Therefore absolute velocity of P is 2+1.5=3.5 m/s

Time taken by phillippe \frac{20}{3.5}+\frac{20}{3.5-1.5}

t_P=5.714+10=15.714 s

Time taken by rena

t_r=\frac{20}{2}+\frac{20}{2}=20 s

as the time taken  by phillippe is less than rena therefore Phillippe wins the race.
