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.

Cany anyone teach me how to use the vernier callipers?
luda_lava [24]
Place the object in between the two jaws such that they touch opposite ends of the object making sure the object is held firmly but don’t press too tight. If you need to measure an internal diameter, then insert the upper jaws in to the cavity and open them till they touch the sides. Tighten the locking screw to hold the jaws in position.

Note the position of the vernier scale zero on the main scale. The main scale reading is the division just before where the zero mark of the vernier scale is aligned. So is the zero mark aligns just after the fifth division between 3 and 4 the main scale reading is then 3.5.

The next step is to take the vernier scale reading. To do this find the mark on the vernier scale which lines up perfectly with a mark on the main scale. The vernier reading can then be found by multiplying the least value of the vernier scale with the number of divisions till that mark. For example if the least value is 0.01 mm and the 7thmark of the vernier scale is lined up perfectly then the vernier scale reading is 7 x 0.01 = 0.07.

The final step is to add the main scale and vernier readings to get the final measurement. For example 3.5 + 0.07 = 3.57 mm.

There are three naturally occurring isotopes
mote1985 [20]

Explanation:

^{41}\text{Hi}: 41.000\:\text{g/mol}×0.283 = 11.603\:\text{g/mol}

^{42}\text{Hi}: 42.000\:\text{g/mol}×0.429 = 18.018\:\text{g/mol}

^{44}\text{Hi}: 44.000\:\text{g/mol}×0.288 = 12.672\:\text{g/mol}

Adding all the weighted values on the right hand side, we get

\text{Hi}: 42.293\:\text{g/mol}

What is the force the when does when Gravity pushes you​
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Image result for what is the force the when does when Gravity pushes you​

The important thing to remember is that gravity is neither a push nor a pull; what we interpret as a “force” or the acceleration due to gravity is actually the curvature of space and time — the path itself stoops downward.

Gold, which has a density of 19.32 g/cm3, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin leaf or drawn out into a long
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

a) 578.0 cm²

b) 25.18 km

Explanation:

We're given the density and mass, so first calculate the volume.

D = M / V

V = M / D

V = (6.740 g) / (19.32 g/cm³)

V = 0.3489 cm³

a) The volume of any uniform flat shape (prism) is the area of the base times the thickness.

V = Ah

A = V / h

A = (0.3489 cm³) / (6.036×10⁻⁴ cm)

A = 578.0 cm²

b) The volume of a cylinder is pi times the square of the radius times the length.

V = πr²h

h = V / (πr²)

h = (0.3489 cm³) / (π (2.100×10⁻⁴ cm)²)

h = 2.518×10⁶ cm

h = 25.18 km

How fast would you have to travel on the surface of earth at the equator to keep up with the sun (that is, so that the sun would
professor190 [17]

Answer: 1037 miles per hour

Explanation: In order to see the sun in the same position in the sky, you would have to travel against the speed of rotation of the earth, because this is what causes the sun to appear in a constantly changing position.

Because of this, we will have to calculate the speed of rotation of the earth. To get started, we must know the circumference of the earth. Assuming the circumference formula for a sphere,

Circumference=2\pi R

Where R is the radius of the earth, we find that the perimeter of the earth is approximately 24881 miles. The equation to calculate speed is given by

v=\frac{Distance}{Time}

Because the earth completes one rotation in 24 hours, we have to find the speed of rotation as the perimeter of the earth divided by 24 hours.

The obtained result is 1037 miles per hour.

You would have to travel at 1037 miles per hour in the direction opposite to the direction the rotation is ocurring in.
