How does the mass of an object affect its acceleration during free fall

Physics

ira [324]4 years ago

The mass of an object has no effect whatsoever on the object's
acceleration during free-fall.  If there is no air resistance to interfere
with the natural effects of gravity, then a feather and a battleship ...
dropped at the same time ... fall together, and hit the ground at the
same time.

It doesn't. If you took a watermelon and an orange and dropped them at the same time, they would fall the same speed snd land (or squash) at the same time. Try it. It doesn' have to be those two fruits.

A batter hits a pop fly, and the baseball (with a mass of 148 g) reaches an altitude of 265 ft. If we assume that the ball was 3
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The increase in potential energy of the ball is 115.82 J

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

Potential Energy (U) is the energy of a body located at a certain height (h) above the ground and is calculated as follows:

U = m × g × h

U: Potential Energy in Joules (J)

m: mass in kg

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

h: height in m

Equivalences

1 kg = 1000 g

1 ft = 0.3048 m

1 N = 1 (kg×m)/s²

1 J = N × m

Known data

h_2 = 265ft * \frac{0.3048m}{ft} = 80.77m

h_1 = 3ft * \frac{0.3048m}{ft} = 0.914m

m = 148g*\frac{1kg}{1000g} = 0.148kg

g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}

Problem development

ΔU: Potential energy change

ΔU = U₂ - U₁

U₂ - U₁ = mₓgₓh₂ - mₓgₓh₁

U₂ - U₁ = mₓg(h₂ - h₁)

U_2 - U_1 = 0.148kg * 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}*(80.77m - 0.914m) = 115.82 N * m = 115.82J

The increase in potential energy of the ball is 115.82 J

How does the total amount of energy change as the spring goes up and down?
NeX [460]

The total amount of energy always stays the same because of the law of conservation of energy, meaning that there is always the same amount of energy, it just gets turned into different forms like potential energy, kinetic energy, sound, thermal, etc.

A girl throws a ball of mass 0.8 kg against a wall. The ball strikes the wall horizontally with a speed of 11 m/s, and it bounce
Karolina [17]

Answer:

F = 352 N

Explanation:

we know that:

F*t = ΔP

so:

F*t = MV_f-MV_i

where F is the force excerted by the wall, t is the time, M the mass of the ball, V_f the final velocity of the ball and V_i the initial velocity.

Replacing values, we get:

F(0.05s) = (0.8 kg)(11m/s)-(0.8 kg)(-11m/s)

solving for F:

F = 352 N

Which of the following processes DOES NOT occur during the convective transfer of heat within a container of air? Group of answe
vovangra [49]

The volume of a warmed part of the air is reduced and its density increases.

Explanation:

In a convective form of heat transfer, the volume of a warmed part of air is not reduced and its density does not increase.

During convection, heat causes the warm part of the air to expand and its volume increases. When volume increases, density is reduced.

  • Convection is a form of heat transfer that involves the actual movement of particles of the medium.
  • It usually occurs in fluids i.e gases and liquids.
  • In convection, the cold part exerts a buoyant force on the warmer air below and causes it to rise.
  • As the warmer part is rising the cooler part replaces it and a convective cell is formed in the process.
