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

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.

What is the equation describing the motion of a mass on the end of a spring which is stretched 8.8 cm from equilibrium and then

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

$x=(0.088m)\cos(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } t)$

Explanation:

We first identify the elements of this simple harmonic motion:

The amplitude A is 8.8cm, because it's the maximum distance the mass can go away from the equilibrium point. In meters, it is equivalent to 0.088m.

The angular frequency ω can be calculated with the formula:

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

Where k is the spring constant and m is the mass of the particle.

Now, since the spring starts stretched at its maximum, the appropriate function to use is the positive cosine in the equation of simple harmonic motion:

$x=A\cos(\omega t)$

Finally, the equation of the motion of the system is:

$x=(0.088m)\cos(\omega t)$

$x=(0.088m)\cos(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } t)$

Increase in Space Suit Pressure 0.0/3.0 points (graded) If the pressure in a space suit increases, how will each of the followin

Art [367]

Answer:

Flexibility Increases

Pre-breathe time decreases

Mass of suit decreases.

Explanation:

Spacesuits are designed for space shuttles when a person goes to explore the galaxy. The spacesuits shuttle era are pressurized at 4.3 pounds per inch. The gas in the suit is 100% of oxygen and there is more oxygen to breathe when the altitude of 10,000 is reached. This will decrease the breathing time and mass of suit.
