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.

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Time zone is one important factor in difference in location and this in turn affects the result of the resolution and rotation of shadow produced from the sun or other illumination.

Therefore someone at a place might see a clear large shadow due to shinny sun reflection and another a small or dull Shadow at same time if the intensity of the sun or lighting source is going down.

Explanation:

The closer a body/object is to a lighting source the larger the shadow it produces, and the farther the body the smaller the shadow produced.

The gravitational attraction between a 20 kg cannonball and a 0.002 kg

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

$2.966\times 10^{-11}\ N$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the cannonball (M) = 20 kg

Mass of the marble (m) = 0.002 kg

Distance between the cannonball and marble (d) = 0.30 m

Universal gravitational constant (G) = $6.674\times 10^{-11}\ m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}$

Now, we know that, the gravitational force (F) acting between two bodies of masses (m) and (M) separated by a distance (d) is given as:

$F=\dfrac{GMm}{d^2}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'F'. This gives,

$F=\frac{(6.674\times 10^{-11}\ m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})\times (20\ kg)\times (0.002\ kg)}{(0.30\ m)^2}\\\\F=\frac{6.674\times 20\times 0.002\times 10^{-11}\ m^3 kg^{-1+2} s^{-2}}{0.09\ m^2}\\\\F=2.966\times 10^{-11}\ kg\cdot m\cdot s^{-2}\\\\F=2.966\times 10^{-11}\ N.........(1\ N = 1\ kg\cdot m\cdot s^{-2})$

The same force is experienced by both cannonball and marble.

Therefore, the gravitational force of the marble is $2.966\times 10^{-11}\ N$
