the two forces acting on a falling object are gravity and?....1.force, 2. friction, 3. air resistance, and 4. net force?

1 answer:

6 0

In free fall, the only force acting on an object is gravity. The force of gravity is an unbalanced force, which causes an object to accelerate. In the absence of air, two objects with different masses fall at exactly the same rate of acceleration.

A 0.2 kg hockey park is sliding along the eyes with an initial velocity of -10 m/s when a player strikes it with his stick, caus

babunello [35]

Answer:

The impulse applied by the stick to the hockey park is approximately 7 kilogram-meters per second.

Explanation:

The Impulse Theorem states that the impulse experimented by the hockey park is equal to the vectorial change in its linear momentum, that is:

$I = m\cdot (\vec{v}_{2} - \vec{v_{1}})$ (1)

Where:

$I$ - Impulse, in kilogram-meters per second.

$m$ - Mass, in kilograms.

$\vec{v_{1}}$ - Initial velocity of the hockey park, in meters per second.

$\vec{v_{2}}$ - Final velocity of the hockey park, in meters per second.

If we know that $m = 0.2\,kg$ , $\vec{v}_{1} = -10\,\hat{i}\,\left[\frac{m}{s}\right]$ and $\vec {v_{2}} = 25\,\hat{i}\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right]$ , then the impulse applied by the stick to the park is approximately:

$I = (0.2\,kg)\cdot \left(35\,\hat{i}\right)\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right]$

$I = 7\,\hat{i}\,\left[\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right]$

The impulse applied by the stick to the hockey park is approximately 7 kilogram-meters per second.

If a 1-megaton nuclear weapon is exploded

Elenna [48]

Answer:

1,780,000 N

Explanation:

0.2 atm × (1.013×10⁵ Pa/atm) = 20,260 Pa

Force = pressure × area

F = 20,260 Pa × (3.89 m × 22.6 m)

F = 1,780,000 N

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The smallest part of a millimeter that can be read with a digital caliper with a four digit display is 0.02mm. Thus, it has to be converted to centimetre. So, divide by 10, we then have 0.02/10= *0.002cm* not mm.
