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.

15. A locomotive moved 18.0 m [W] in a time of 6.00 s and stopped. After stopping, the

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Distance = 30m

Displacement = 6m W

Explanation:

Given the following:

Movement 1 = 18m W

Movement 2 = 12m E

Diatance is a scalar quantity with only magnitude and no direction. That is, in Calculating the distance moved by the locomotive, the direction of travel or movement of the object is not considered. It only measures the total amount of movement made during the Time of motion.

Therefore, total distance traveled equals :

Movement 1 + movement 2

18m + 12m = 30m

B) Displacement also measures the movement made by an object. However, Displacement is a vector quantity and therefore, considers both magnitude and direction of travel of the object. Therefore, it measures the overall change in position of the object from its starting position.

Therefore, Displacement of the locomotive equals:

18m W - 12m E = 6m E
