"Free Fall" MEANS that the only force acting on the object is
the force of gravity.  It may be falling, but if there's any other
force acting on it besides gravity, like maybe air resistance,
then it's NOT in "free fall".

Course hero N4M.6 A board has one end wedged under a rock having a mass of 380 kg and is supported by another rock that touches
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Therefore it is save to carry a 62kg adult

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=380kg

Height of supporting Rock X=85cm

Length of BoardL_r=4.5m

Mass of board M_b=22kg

Mass of adult M_a=62  

Generally the moment of balance about wedge part about  is mathematically given by

N -Q + R = Mg + mg

0.85*N - Mg*2.25 - mg*(2.25 + x) = 0

0.85*N  = + Mg*2.25 + mg*(2.25 + x)

where

N+R=4547

therefore

N = 570.70588 + 1608.3529 + 714.823 x

if N=0 at fallen person

x=3.04m

Therefore it is save to carry a 62kg adult

it is about 384,750 kilometers from earth to the moon. it took the apollo astronauts about 2 days and 19.5 hours to fly to the m
Jet001 [13]
We know, speed = Distance / Time
d = 384,750 Km
t = 2 days, 19.5 hours = 48+19.5 = 67.5 hour

Substitute their values, 
s = 384,750 / 67.5
s = 5700 Km/h

In short, Your Answer would be 5700 Km/h

Hope this helps!

luda_lava [24]

Explanation:

  • Mass(m)= 20kg
  • Acceleration (a)= 5m/s²
  • Force(F)= ?

We know that,

  • F=ma
  • F=20×5
  • F=100N

Hence, the needed force is 100N.
