Explain why gravity is the only force acting on a falling ball

Physics
1 answer:
Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Gravity is the only force acting on a falling ball because of free fall. Since gravity is unbalanced it accelerates an object and the velocity increases as an object falls due to gravity pushing it. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.

natita [175]

Answer:

-5.63 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

y₀ = 1.62 m

y = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2a (y − y₀)

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2(-9.8 m/s²) (0 m − 1.62 m)

v = -5.63 m/s

ListenA bicycle and its rider have a combined mass of 80. kilograms and a speed of 6.0 meters per second. What is the magnitude
Setler [38]

Answer:

a) 1.2\times 10^2\ N

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

a = Acceleration

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0-6}{4}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.5\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the bicycle and rider is -1.5 m/s²

Force

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=80\times -1.5\\\Rightarrow F=-120\ N=-1.2\times 10^2\ N

The magnitude of the average force needed to bring the bicycle and its rider to a stop is 1.2\times 10^2\ N

A paper-filled capacitor is charged to a potential difference of V0=2.5 V. The dielectric constant of paper is k=3.7 . The capac
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

k =  6.72

Explanation:

K of paper = 3.7

k of air = 1

Given that charge Q on the capacitor is constant because cell is disconnected from the circuit. So

V = Q / C = 2.5

Capacity becomes C / 3.7 in air .

capacity becomes C/3.7 when paper is replaced by air .

V₁ = Q / (C/3.7)

= 3.7 Q/C

3.7 x 2.5

= 9.25 V

In the second case ,

capacitance  due to new unknown dielectric k

= C/3.7 x k

= kC / 3.7 ( Capacitance in air is C/3.7 )

V ( new ) = Q / ( kC/3.7 )

= 3.7 Q/kC

.55 x 2.5 = 3.7 x( 2.5 / k )

k = 3.7 / .55

= 6.72
