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

Physics
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Fast, irregular, and low-amplitude electrical activity corresponds to
irakobra [83]

The most common states of awareness include conscious and unconscious. Wakefulness refers to a state of consciousness that is characterized by high levels of awareness and thought.

  • Fast, irregular, and low-amplitude electrical activity correspond to WAKEFULNESS.

  • An electroencephalogram is a diagnostic test that can be used to measure the brain's electrical activity during wakefulness and sleep.

  • Wakefulness is characterized by low-voltage (i.e., 5 to 10 microvolts) and high-frequency brain waves. These waves are known as beta and gamma waves.

  • Conversely, sleep is characterized by higher voltage and slow brain waves (i.e., synchronized pattern).

A rectangular certificate has a perimeter of 32 inches. Its area is 63 square inches. What are the dimensions of the certificate
irina1246 [14]
Perimeter = 2 ( L + W )
32 = 2 ( L + W )
16 = L + W
L = 16 - W

Area = L W
63 = L W
63 = (16-W) W
63 = 16W - W²
-W² + 16 W - 63 = 0
By factorizing W = 9 or W = 7
So the dimensions are 7 and 9
