The correct answer is C. Taiga hope it helps ( :
No, gravity acts equally on all objects. The crumpled paper falls faster because it resists the drag force due to the atmosphere because of its compact size. A flat piece of paper has an extended body and "catches" the air and falls more slowly. In a vacuum they would fall at the same rate either way.
There's no air in space, so there's no air resistance there.
Answer:
114.86%
Explanation:
In both cases, there is a vertical force equal to the sprinter's weight:
Fy = mg
When running in a circle, there is an additional centripetal force:
Fx = mv²/r
The net force is found with Pythagorean theorem:
F² = Fx² + Fy²
F² = (mv²/r)² + (mg)²
F² = m² ((v²/r)² + g²)
F = m √((v²/r)² + g²)
Compared to just the vertical force:
F / Fy
m √((v²/r)² + g²) / mg
√((v²/r)² + g²) / g
Given v = 12 m/s, r = 26 m, and g = 9.8 m/s²:
√((12²/26)² + 9.8²) / 9.8
1.1486
The force is about 114.86% greater (round as needed).
