What is the state of an object accelerating due to the force of gravity alone?
1 answer:
Answer:
Its state is in uniformly accelerated motion
Explanation:
When an object is acted upon the force of gravity only, we said that the object is in free fall.
According to Newton's second law of motion:
where F is the net force on an object, m is its mass, a its acceleration, when the net force on an object (F) is non-zero, than the object accelerates (because a is non-zero), so the object is in accelerated motion.
In case of free fall, the rate of acceleration of the object is equal to , the acceleration due to gravity, and it is constant. So, the object is moving by uniformly accelerated motion.

Answer:
y = 77.74 10⁻⁵ m
Explanation:
For this exercise we can use Newton's second law
F = m a
a = F / m
a = 4.9 10⁻¹⁶ / 9.1 10⁻³¹
a = 0.538 10¹⁵ m / s
This is the vertical acceleration of the electron.
Now let's use kinematics to find the time it takes to move the
x= 29 mm = 29 10⁻³ m
On the x axis
v = x / t
t = x / v
t = 29 10⁻³ / 1.7 10⁷
t = 17 10⁻¹⁰ s
Now we can look for vertical distance at this time.
y = t + ½ a t²
y = 0 + ½ 0.538 10¹⁵ (17 10⁻¹⁰)²
y = 77.74 10⁻⁵ m
