Answer:

When an object is dropped, the "principal" force that acts on that object is the gravitational force.

Thus, in the absence of air resistance and such, the acceleration of the object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration:

g = 9.8m/s^2

So, when we drop objects in the moon (where there is no air) the acceleration of every object will be exactly the same. (so there is no dependence in the mass or shape of the object)

Thus, if we drop a coin and a feather in the moon, both objects will fall with the same acceleration, and then both objects will hit the ground at the same time.

But if we are in Earth, we can not ignore the air resistance (a force that acts in the opposite direction than the movement of the object)

And this force depends on the shape and mass of the object (for example, something with a really larger surface and really thin, like a sheet of paper will be more affected by this force than a small rock)

Then here, when the air resistance applies, we should expect that the heavier and smaller object (the coin) to be less affected by this force, then the resistance that the coin experiences is smaller, then the coin falls "faster" than the feather.

A half circle arc with its center at the origin has a linear charge density of λ = 12 nC/m along the arc. The radius of the arc
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge density is  λ = 12 nC/m

And radius 3cm

r=0.03m.

The charge density of a along a circular arc is given as

λ= Q/πr

Then, Q=πrλ

Q=π×0.03×12×10^-9

Q=1.131×10^-9 C

Q=1.131 nC

Then, electric field along x axis is symmetrical and if cancels out

Now, Ey is in the negative direction

Electric field is given as,

Ey=-2kQ/πr²

K is constant =9×10^9Nm²/C²

Ey=-2×9×10^9×1.131×10^-9/(π ×0.03²)

Ey=7200 N/C.

The direction is negative direction of y axis, check attachment for diagram.

b. Electric potential at the origin is given as

V=Ed

d=r=0.03

V=7200×0.03

V=216V

A 4-N object object swings on the end of a string as a simple pendulum. At the bottom of the swing, the tension in the string is
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given mg = 4N .

m = 4 / g

At the bottom of the swing let centripetal acceleration be a

T - mg = ma

9 - 4 = ma

5 = 4 a  / g

a =  5g / 4
