Answer:
When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached free fall.
Explanation:
- When an object has only force acting on it as gravity then, it experiences free fall.
- During free fall all the forces except gravity is balanced by one another.
- In the question, object's weight is balanced by air resistance so it is in the state of free fall.
- At the null point of free fall, object experiences weightlessness i.e. it feels like object is not attracted by any force.
Answer:
Explanation:
We can use Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to solve this problem:
., where 
is acceleration due to gravity at the planet's surface, 
is gravitational constant 
, 
is the mass of the planet, and 
is the radius of the planet.
Since acceleration due to gravity is given as 
, our radius should be meters. Therefore, convert 
kilometers to meters:
.
Now plugging in our values, we get:
,
Solving for :
.
Answer:
136 meters.
Explanation: If it can go 17 meters a second, then after 8 seconds, it will go 136 meters. Multiple 17 by 8 to get your answer.
Answer:
14.001 in
Explanation:
Circumference = pi * diameter
Circumference / pi = diameter
44 inches/pi = 14.001 inches
