What is the state of an object accelerating due to the force of gravity alone?

Physics

Marysya12 [62]3 years ago

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:

F=ma

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 g=9.8 m/s^2, the acceleration due to gravity, and it is constant. So, the object is moving by uniformly accelerated motion.

While finding the spring constant, if X1 = 12 cm, X2 = 15 cm, and hanging mass = 22 grams, the value of spring constant K would
Pavel [41]

Answer:

If x₁=12 cm then k=1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm then k=1.4388 N/m

Explanation:

Hanging mass= 22 g=0.022 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81 m/s²

If x₁=displacement= 12 cm=0.12 m

k= spring constant

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=0.022\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F=0.21582\ N

\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.012\\\Rightarrow k=1.7985\ N/m\\

∴k = 1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm=0.15 m

Force of the hanging mass is same however the spring constant will change

\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.015\\\Rightarrow k=1.4388\ N/m\\

∴k = 1.4388 N/m

As the mass is not changing the spring constant has to change. That means that here there are two spring one with k=1.7985 N/m and the other with k= 1.4388 N/m

Experiment with the battery voltage set to 15 volts, measure the current in a parallel circuit with 1,2,3, and 4 light bulbs. (I
koban [17]

Answer:

1) current = I

2) Resistance = V/I

3) current = 2I

4) resistance = V/2I

5) current = 3I

6) Resistance = V/3I

7) Current = 4I

8) Resistance = V/4I

Explanation:

When one bulb is connected across the battery then let say the current is given as I

Then resistance is given as

R = \frac{V}{I}

When two bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes twice of initial current

so we have

current = 2I

Resistance of the circuit is now

R = \frac{V}{2I}

When three bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes three times of initial current

so we have

current = 3I

Resistance of the circuit is now

R = \frac{V}{3I}

When four bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes four times of initial current

so we have

current = 4I

Resistance of the circuit is now

R = \frac{V}{4I}
