What do u mean by free fall?​

Physics
1 answer:
Degger [83]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Any motion of a body in which gravity is the sole force acting on it is known as free fall. A body in free fall has no force acting on it under general relativity, where gravity is reduced to space-time curvature.

Until a train is a safe distance from the station, it must travel at 5 m/s. Once the train is on open track, it can speec
nadezda [96]

Answer:

The acceleration of the train is 5 m/s².

Explanation:

Given:

let the initial velocity of a train = 5 m/s and

final velocity of a train = 45 m/s

time taken = 8 s

To find:

acceleration: ?

Solution:

We define acceleration as change in velocity per unit time that is the difference between the final velocity and initial velocity divided by time.

Acceleration = \frac{\textrm{final velocity} - \textrm{initial velocity}}{time} \\

On substituting the above values we get the required acceleration

Acceleration = \frac{45 - 5}{8}\\ =\frac{40}{8}\\ =5\ m/s^{2}

Therefore,the acceleration of the train is 5 m/s².

The rocket's acceleration has components \(a_{x}(t)= \alpha t^{2}\) and \(a_{y}(t)= \beta - \gamma t\), where \(\alpha = 2.50 {\
lbvjy [14]
 it is just a matter of integration and using initial conditions since in general dv/dt = a it implies v = integral a dt 
v(t)_x = integral a_{x}(t) dt = alpha t^3/3 + c the integration constant c can be found out since we know v(t)_x at t =0 is v_{0x} so substitute this in the equation to get v(t)_x = alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} 
similarly v(t)_y = integral a_{y}(t) dt = integral beta - gamma t dt = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + c this constant c use at t = 0 v(t)_y = v_{0y} v(t)_y = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} 
so the velocity vector as a function of time vec{v}(t) in terms of components as[ alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} , beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} ] 
similarly you should integrate to find position vector since dr/dt = v r = integral of v dt 
r(t)_x = alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t + c let us assume the initial position vector is at origin so x and y initial position vector is zero and hence c = 0 in both cases 
r(t)_y = beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t + c here c = 0 since it is at 0 when t = 0 we assume 
r(t)_vec = [ r(t)_x , r(t)_y ] = [ alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t , beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t ]

In a pith ball experiment, the two pith balls are at rest. The magnitude of the tension in each string is |T|=0.55N, and the ang
Len [333]

Answer:

Explanation: Two pith ball will repel each other . they will remain balaced due to tension in the spring whose one component balances the weight and the other balances the repulsive force on each.

The gravitational force will be balanced by T cos 27.33 and the electrostatic repulsive force will be balanced by T sin27.33

So

Fg =T cos 27.33

= .55 X .888

= .49 N

Fq = T sin27.33

=.55 x .459

= .25 N.
