Why does an object accelerate when it falls towards Earth's surface

1 answer:

4 0

There is a force of gravity acting downward on the object,
and no force acting upward on it.

Since the vertical forces on it are unbalanced, it accelerates
in the direction of the net vertical force, which is downward.

A satellite’s original velocity is 10,000 m/s. After 60 seconds it s going 5,000 m/s. What is the acceleration? Remember acceler

alexira [117]

Explanation:

Given that,

Orginal speed, u = 10,000 m/s

Final speed, v = 5,000 m/s

Time, t = 60 s

To find,

Acceleration of the satellite.

The acceleration of an object is equal to the change in its speed divided by time. So,

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{5000-10000}{60}\\\\a=-83.34\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the satellite is $83.34\ m/s^2$ and it is deaccelerating.

Anna needs to move a box of paperback books across the room. If she applies a force of 20 newtons to the box, what is the magnit

vlabodo [156]

Newton's third law tells us that for every force there is an equal and opposite force. This means that if Anna exerts a force of 20 Newtons on the box, the box exerts a force of 20 Newtons on Anna.
