The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.
All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.
If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.
They have the same velocity because their displacements (shortest line from point A to point B, which is a straight line) are the same and they meet at the same time.
Answer:
lacceleration is given by
a=F/m
With force acting on the object remained constant ,the acceleration is inversly proportional to mass of the object i.e with increase in mass =>acceleration decreases and with decrease in mass => acceleration increases.
a)
acceleration decreases
b)
acceleration increase
Answer:
15: Animals are able to detect the first of an earthquake's seismic waves—the P-wave, or pressure wave, that arrives in advance of the S-wave, or secondary, shaking wave. This likely explains why animals have been seen snapping to attention, acting confused or running right before the ground starts to shake.
16: No, it is not even remotely true. Microwaves cook food from the outside in, just like a regular oven. In fact, most of the cooking on the inside of the food, depending on its thickness, is done by heat conduction from the outside surfaces inwards, as the microwaves do not actually penetrate that far into the food.
