Answer: Ain't its because how light the feather is ? It's not as heavy.

Explanation: With air resistance, acceleration throughout a fall gets less than gravity (g) because air resistance affects the movement of the falling object by slowing it down. ... Usually, resistance is not very high at low speed or for small or sharp objects (Google Source if needed to prove yours answer)

Answer:

$a=3125000 m/s^2\\a=3.125*10^6 m/s^2$

Acceleration, in m/s, of such a rock fragment = $3.125*10^6m/s^2$

Explanation:

According to Newton's Third Equation of motion

$V_f^2-V_i^2=2as$

Where:

$V_f$ is the final velocity

$V_i$ is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

In our case:

$V_f=V_{escape}, V_i=0,s=4 m$

So Equation will become:

$V_{escape}^2-V_i^2=2as\\V_{escape}^2-0=2as\\V_{escape}^2=2as\\a=\frac{V_{escape}^2}{2s}\\a=\frac{(5*10^3m)^2}{2*4}\\a=3125000 m/s^2\\a=3.125*10^6 m/s^2$

Acceleration, in m/s, of such a rock fragment = $3.125*10^6m/s^2$

A father pushes his child on a swing. He pushes with a force of 20 N or a distance of 1 m, with the force always maintained para

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

20 Joules

Explanation:

Work is done whenever a force moves a body through a certain distance in the direction of the force. So, work done is the product of force and distance moved.

Therefore, we have;

Work done = Force x distance

i.e Wd = Fs

Given that: F = 20 N and s = 1 m, then;

Wd = 20 N x 1 m

= 20 Nm

The work done by the father is 20 Joules(Nm).

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

the north end to the south end.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Magnetic field lines from a bar magnet form lines that are closed. The direction of magnetic field is taken to be outward from the North pole of the magnet and in to the South pole of the magnet.
A magnetic field refers to the area surrounding a magnet where a force is exerted on certain objects. These lines are spread out of the north end of the magnet.
The magnetic field lines resemble a bubble.
