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.

According to Einsteins explanation, what causes gravitation?

<span>Answer: Gravity is most accurately described by the general theory of relativity (proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915) which describes gravity not as a force, but as a consequence of the curvature of spacetime caused by the uneven distribution of mass.</span>

Which of the following has the largest momentum?

san4es73 [151]

Momentum = mass x velocity

Thus Option A is the correct answer

Momentum (dog) = 10 kg x (0.447 x 30) m/s

= 134.1 Kg m/s

Momentum ( bullet) = 0.02 kg x (0.447 x 800) m/s

= 7.152 Kg m/s

Momentum ( truck) = 0, as v = 0

tightrope has both low mass and low speed, thus its momentum will be low

Julie is cycling at a speed of 3.4 meters/second. If the combined mass of the bicycle and Julie is 30 kilograms, what is the kin

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

KE = 1/2 mv^2

=1/2(30kg)( 3.4 m/s)^2

=173.4 joules

=1.7×10^2 joules

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

200 volts

Explanation:

Ohm's Law: V = IR

I = 10 A

R = 20 ohms

V = (10)(20) = 200 volts

two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel .calculate the equivalent series resist

Novosadov [1.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel.

For series combination,

$R_{eq}=R_1+R_2$

For parallel combination,

$\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}$

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in series,

$R_s=6+3\\\\R_s=9\ \Omega$

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in paralle,

$\dfrac{1}{R_p}=\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\R_p=2\ \Omega$

So, the equivalent resistance in series combination is 9 ohms and in parallel combination it is 2 ohms.
