Frame of reference, in simplest terms, describes the state of motion of the observer. The frame of reference may also be described by using a set of coordinates, time and motion. We formulate all our equations and solve them using the frame of reference.
Answer:
Accretion
Explanation:
Accretion is the process by which there is an accumulation of particles into a bigger object by attracting more mass by gravitational force into an accretion disk. This is one of the first steps in the formation of our solar system. There was a collapse of a gas cloud which resulted in most of the mass collecting in the center leading to the formation of the sun and the rest spread out forming the planets.
Newton's 1st law of motion states that <span>an object at rest stays at rest and an object in uniform motion along a straight line stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
This law talks about the tendency of an object to resist any change in its state of rest or uniform motion, this is called Inertia. Thus Newton's 1st law of motion is also called the Law of Inertia</span>
If the object sinks, then it must be heavier than the weight of the water
it displaces ... heavier than the buoyant force acting on it.
If the buoyant force were equal or greater than the object's weight, then
the object would rise to the surface in water.
Answer:
Free-fall is defined as the movement where the only force acting on an object is the gravitational force.
By the second Newton's law, we have that:
F = m*a
Where F = Force, m = mass, a = acceleration.
We can write this as:
a = F/m
And the gravitational force can be written as:
F = (G*M/r^2)*m
Where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth in this case, and r is the distance between both objects (the center of the Earth and the free-falling object)
As the radius of the Earth is really big, the term inside the parentheses is almost constant in the region of interest, then we can write:
G*M/r^2 ≈ g
And the gravitational force is:
F = g*m
And by the second Newton's law we had:
a = F/m = (g*m)/m = g
a = g
Then the acceleration does not depend on the mass of the object.
Then the thing that is common among the free-falling objects is the vertical acceleration.
