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

1 answer:

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.

If you are traveling around a curve at a constant speed will your velocity change?

marta [7]

Velocity means [ (speed) and (direction) ].

If you're traveling around a curve, then your direction is
always changing. So your velocity is always changing,
even if your speed isn't.

Answer:

x = 2000 Km

Explanation:

Given

y = 10 km

Slope: 1 : 200

x = ?

We can apply the formula

y / x = 1 / 200 ⇒ x = 200*y = 200*10 Km

⇒ x = 2000 Km

As you ride a bicycle on the sidewalk with a speed of

mixer [17]

Answer:

1.2 seconds

Explanation:

distance = ((final speed + initial speed) * time)/2

Here given:

distance: 3.8 meter

initial speed: 6.4 m/s

final speed: 0 m/s

Solving steps:

3.8 = ((0 + 6.4) * time))/2

3.8 = 3.2(time)

time = 3.8/3.2

time = 1.1875 seconds ≈ 1.2 seconds
