Explain the relationship between air resistance and gravitational acceleration on a falling object

Physics

Allushta [10]3 years ago
7 0
Air resistance, also called drag, acts upon a falling body by slowing the body down to thr point where it stops accelerating, and it falls at a constant speed, known as the terminal volocity of a falling object. Air resistance depends on the cross sectional area of the object, which is why the effect of air resistance on a large flat surfaced object is much greater than on a small, streamlined object.

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The stunt will likely sustain serious injury in case of concrete blocks because the average force acting on the person will be more because concrete blocks do not squeeze to provide more time for the force to act on the body instead it acts for a small amount of interval.

Impulse=F_{avg}\times \Delta T

As impulse is constant so time requires to act force on the body is more as compared to concrete block and thus average force in mattress case is less.

A spring is characterized by a spring constant of 60 N/m. How much potential energy does it store, when stretched by 1.0 cm?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

3.0 x10^-3 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a spring is given by PE = (0.5)k*x^2  

Where

K: Spring Constant = 60 N/m

x: displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position = 1cm = 0.01m

Then PE = 0.5(60)(.01)^2 = 0.003J = 3.0 x10^-3 J

A 12kg cheetah accelerates 24 m/s". What is the force the cheetah needed to run?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

288N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Cheetah = 12kg

Acceleration  = 24m/s²

Unknown:

Force needed by the cheetah to run  = ?

Solution:

The force needed by the Cheetah to run is the net force.

According to Newton's law;

    Force  = mass x acceleration

Insert the given parameters and solve;

   Force  = 12 x 24  = 288N
