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.

A 82-kg fisherman in a 112-kg boat throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally toward the right with a speed of vi = 4.8 m/s

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

0.37 m/s to the left

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved. Initial momentum = final momentum.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Initially, both the fisherman/boat and the package are at rest.

0 = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Plugging in values and solving:

0 = (82 kg + 112 kg) v + (15 kg) (4.8 m/s)

v = -0.37 m/s

The boat's velocity is 0.37 m/s to the left.

3. A sprinter leaves the starting blocks with an acceleration of 4.5 m/s2. What is the

UkoKoshka [18]

Hi there! :)

$\large\boxed{v_{f} = 18 m/s}$

Use the following kinematic equation to solve for the final velocity:

$v_{f} = v_{i} + at$

In this instance, the runner started from rest, so the initial velocity is 0 m/s. We can rewrite the equation as:

$v_{f} = at$

Plug in the given acceleration and time:

$v_{f} = 4.5 * 4 = 18 m/s$
