The moment an object in freefall hits the ground, its final velocity will be: a. Zero

Physics
1 answer:
bulgar [2K]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Option b

Explanation:

An object is said to fall freely when there is no force acting on the object other than the gravitational force. Thus the acceleration of the object is solely due to gravity and no other acceleration acts on the body.

Also the initial velocity of the body in free fall is zero and hence less than the final velocity.

As the body falls down closer to earth, it experiences more gravitational pull and the velocity increases as it falls down and the moment it touches the ground the period of free fall ends at that instant.

Thus the final velocity of an object in free fall is not zero because the final velocity is the velocity before coming in contact with the ground.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

49.6°

Explanation:

I_0 = Unpolarized light

I_2 = Light after passing though second filter = 0.21I_0

Polarized light passing through first filter

I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}

Polarized light passing through second filter

I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow 0.21I_0=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow cos^2\theta=\frac{0.21I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\sqrt{\frac{0.21I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{0.21I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{0.21\times 2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{0.42}\\\Rightarrow \theta=49.6^{\circ}

The angle between the two filters is 49.6°

A car approaches a stationary police car at 36 m/s. The frequency of the siren (as heard in the police car) is 500 Hz. What is t
tamaranim1 [39]

The frequency heard by an observer in the moving car as he approaches the police car is 558.6 Hz.

<h3>Frequency hear by the observer</h3>

The frequency heard by the observer is calculated by applying the principle of Doppler effect.

f₀ = f'[(v/v - vs)]

where;

  • f₀ is the observed frequency
  • v is speed of sound = 343 m/s
  • vs is the speed of the source

f₀ = 500[(343 / 343 - 36)]

f₀ = 500(343/307)

f₀ = 558.6 Hz

Thus, the frequency heard by an observer in the moving car as he approaches the police car is 558.6 Hz.

Explain the phenomenon and change in potential energy
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Plz mark brainliest

Explanation:

As with kinetic energy, potential energy can change. When two objects interact, each one exerts a force on the other that can cause energy to be transferred to or from the other object.

A portable DVD player requires six 1.5-volt batteries to operate. If the resistance in the circuit is 7.2 ohms, what is the curr
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: The current required will be of 1.25 Ampere.

Explanation:

Voltage of one battery= 1.5 Volts

Voltage required by DVD player to operate, V = 6 × 1.5 = 9 Volts

Resistance offered by the device, R =  7.2 Ohms

V = IR (Ohm's law)

I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{9}{7.2}=1.25 ampere

The current required will be of 1.25 Ampere.
