Physics

Lyrx [107]3 years ago

A heavy object falls with the acceleration as a light object during free fall because of acceleration due to gravity.

Explanation:

A motion can be termed as free fall when the object is completely under the influence of gravity. So in this case, no other force will be acting on the object other than the gravitational force. As the gravity influences the object in free fall, the acceleration attained by any object in free fall is same. And this acceleration is termed as acceleration due to gravity. Since, the gravity gives the acceleration to every object experiencing free fall, then the acceleration should be constant. Thus, a heavy object and a light object will have same acceleration during free fall.

If gas particles start colliding with the walls of their metallic container with increased force, what is their direct effect?.
aliya0001 [1]
<span>So we want to know what is the direct effect of the gas particles if the force of their collision with the walls of the container is increased. Pressure, microscopically, is defined as the number of collisions per unit area. If we increase the force of the collision, the pressure increases so that is the direct effect. </span>

If a wave has a frequency of 50 Hz and a wavelength of 2 meters.<br> Find its speed.
natka813 [3]

Answer:

100 m/s

Explanation:

here we use the wave equation which states that the velocity is equal to the product of the frequency and the wavelength.

so v = 50 × 2

v = 100 m/s

The spheres are connected by a uncharged teflon rod. what is the charge on the left sphere after the charged plastic rod touches
vodomira [7]

The charge on the left sphere negatively charged.

<h3 /><h3>What is charge?</h3>

Due to the physical property of electric charge, charged material experiences a force when it is subjected to an electromagnetic field. You might be electrically positive or negative. While similar charges repel one another, opposite charges attract.

In order for the neutral metal sphere and negatively charged metal rod to have the same potential, some negative charge must flow from the rod to the sphere in order for them to both have negative charges.

The sum of the negative charges in them would be equal to the initial negative charge in the rod since the entire charge is preserved.
