A heavy object falls with the acceleration as a light object during free fall. Why?

Physics
1 answer:
Lyrx [107]3 years ago
6 0

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.

nata0808 [166]

Choices 'C' and 'D' are both correct.

(Except in 'C', changing the temperature from 1°C to 3°C is not usually
described as 'cooling', and it's not the water's 'mass' that changes.  But
water does contract in volume during that change.)

Based on the second law of thermodynamics, how would you expect a system to change over time?
deff fn [24]

B. It's randomness would increase

Because the Second Law of Thermodynamics states that as energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it is wasted. It also states that there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate into a more disordered state.
