11. Explain why in terms of gravity and air resistance and the 2nd law, objects in free fall regardless of mass hit at the same

time?
Physics

Alchen [17]3 years ago

Answer:

When an object is dropped, it accelerates toward the center of Earth. Newton's second law states that a net force on an object is responsible for its acceleration. If air resistance is negligible, the net force on a falling object is the gravitational force.

The speed of a wave on a violin A string is 288 m/s and on the G string is 128 m/s. The force exerted on the ends of the string
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

\dfrac{\mu_A}{\mu_G}=0.197

Explanation:

given,

Speed of a wave on violin A = 288 m/s

Speed on the G string = 128 m/s

Force at the end of string G  = 110 N

Force at the end of string A = 350 N

the ratio of mass per unit length of the strings (A/G). = ?

speed for string A

 v_A = \sqrt{\dfrac{F_A}{\mu_A}}.......(1)

speed for string G

 v_G = \sqrt{\dfrac{F_G}{\mu_G}}........(2)

Assuming force is same in both the string

now,

dividing equation (2)/(1)

\dfrac{v_G}{v_A}=\dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{F_G}{\mu_G}}}{\sqrt{\dfrac{F_A}{\mu_A}}}

\dfrac{v_G}{v_A}=\dfrac{\sqrt{\mu_A}}{\sqrt{\mu_G}}

\dfrac{128}{288}=\dfrac{\sqrt{\mu_A}}{\sqrt{\mu_G}}

\dfrac{\mu_A}{\mu_G}=0.197

A car is strapped to a rocket (combined mass = 661 kg), and its kinetic energy is 66,120 J.
labwork [276]

Answer:

9.4 m/s

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by external forces on a system is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system.

Therefore we can write:

W=K_f -K_i

where in this case:

W = -36,733 J is the work done by the parachute (negative because it is opposite to the motion)

K_i = 66,120 J is the initial kinetic energy of the car

K_f is the final kinetic energy

Solving,

K_f = K_i + W=66,120+(-36,733)=29387 J

The final kinetic energy of the car can be written as

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 661 kg is its mass

v is its final speed

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(29,387)}{661}}=9.4 m/s

What is specific heat? List the formula
sladkih [1.3K]

An example of a high specific heat is water’s specific heat, which requires 4.184 joules of heat to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius. Scientifically, water’s specific heat is written as: 1 calorie/gm °C = 4.186 J/gm °C.

A 20 kg crate initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 80 N horizontal force to set it in motion. Find the coefficient
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

<em>The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41</em>

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When an object is moving and encounters friction in the air or rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and velocity because the friction force opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:

Fr=\mu N          [1]

Where \mu is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.

If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:

N = W = m.g

The crate of m=20 Kg has a weight of:

W = 20*9.8

W = 196 N

The normal force is also N=196 N

We can find the coefficient of static friction by solving [1] for \mu:

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{Fr}{N}

The friction force is equal to the minimum force required to start moving the object on the floor, thus Fr=80 N and:

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{80}{196}

\mu=0.41

The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41
