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.

Determine the maximum theoretical speed that may be achieved over a distance of 66 m by a car starting from rest, knowing that t
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

v=32.49 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Distance ,d= 66 m

Initial speed of the car ,u = 0 m/s

Coefficient of friction ,μ = 0.8

Lets take the total mass of the car = m

The acceleration of the car is given as

a = μ g                               ( g= 10 m/s² )

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

a= 0.8 x 10 m/s²

a= 8 m/s²

We know that ,final speed is given as

v²= u ²+ 2 a d

Now putting the value

v²=0² + 2 x 8 x 66

v²= 1056

v=32.49 m/s

Boron coated with SiC (or Borsic) reinforced aluminum containing aligned 20 vol% fibers is an important high-temperature, lightw
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Modulus of elasticity of the composite perpendicular to the fibers = (12 × 10⁶) psi

Explanation:

For combination of materials, the properties (especially physical properties) of the resulting composite is a sum of the fractional contribution of each material thay makes up the composite.

In this composite,

The fibres = 20 vol%

Aluminium = 80 vol%

Modulus of elasticity of the composite

= [0.2 × E(fibres)] + [0.8 × E(Al)]

Modulus of elasticity of the fibers = E(fibres) = (55 × 10⁶) psi. =

Modulus of elasticity of aluminum = E(Al) = (10 × 10⁶) psi.

But modulus of elasticity of the composite perpendicular to the fibers is given in the expression.

[1 ÷ E(perpendicular)]

= [0.2 ÷ E(fibres)] + [0.8 ÷ E(Al)]

[1 ÷ E(perpendicular)]

= [0.2 ÷ (55 × 10⁶)] + [0.8 ÷ (10 × 10⁶)]

= (3.636 × 10⁻⁹) + (8.00 × 10⁻⁸)

= (8.3636 × 10⁻⁸)

E(perpendicular) = 1 ÷ (8.3636 × 10⁻⁸)

= 11,961,722.5 psi = (11.96 × 10⁶) psi

= (12 × 10⁶) psi

Hope this Helps!!!

What is the difference between gravitational force and the force of gravity
statuscvo [17]

This might help and it might not:

Gravitation is the acting force between two bodies. On the other hand, gravity is the force occurring between an object and the very big object earth. Every object with some mass exerts the gravitational force on every other object having some mass. This force and its strength depend on the masses of the objects under consideration. Gravity helps to keep the planets to move in their orbit around the sun.

Gravitation is the force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe. In our universe, each object attracts each other with a certain amount of force. The large distance of separation is the main reason for its weak nature.

Gravity is the weakest type of fundamental force in nature. Still, it holds together the entire solar systems and galaxies.

Gravity has the existence with unlimited range.

Alicia can row 6 miles downstream in the same time it takes her to row 4 miles upstream. She rows downstream 3 miles/hour faster
m_a_m_a [10]
Let us assume the upstream rowing rate of Alicia = x
Let us assume the downstream rowing rate of Alicia = y
We already know that
Travelling time = Distance traveled/rowing rate
Then
6/(x + 3) = 4/x
6x = 4x + 12
6x - 4x = 12
2x = 12
x = 6
Then
Rowing rate of Alicia going upstream = 6 miles per hour
Rowing rate of Alicia going downstream = 9 miles per hour.
