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

Physics
1 answer:
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.

A train moves with a constant velocity for 15s for 155m. How fast is the train moving?
bonufazy [111]

Answer: 10.3m/s

Explanation:

In theory and for a constant velocity the physics expression states that:

Eq(1):  distance  = velocity times time <=> d = v*t    for v=constant.

If we solve Eq (1) for the velocity (v) we obtain:

Eq(2):  velocity  = distance divided by time <=> v = d/t

Substituting the known values for t=15s and d=155m we get:

v = 155 / 15 <=> v = 10.3

What’s the force of a pitching machine on a baseball? Baseballs pitched by a machine have a horizontal velocity of 30 meters/sec
Leya [2.2K]
The acceleration of the baseball is:
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}
where v_f and v_i are the final and initial speed of the ball, and \Delta t is the time interval in which the force acted.

Replacing the numbers, we get
a= \frac{30 m/s-0m/s}{0.5 s}=60 m/s^2
And at this point, we can use Newton's second law F=ma to find the value of the force of the pitching machine:
F=ma=(0.15 kg)(60 m/s^2)=9 N
