Answer:

The term mass is used to refer to the amount of matter in any given object For instance, a person or object may be weightless on the moon because of the lack of gravity but that same person or object maintains the same mass regardless of location

mestny [16]

Answer:

x = 727.5 km

Explanation:

With the conditions given using trigonometry, we can find the tangent

tan θ = CO / CA

With CO the opposite leg and CE is the adjacent leg which is the distance from the Tierral to Sun

D =150 10⁶ km (1000m / 1 km)

D = 150 10⁹ m.

We must take the given angle to radians.

1º = 3600 arc s

π rad = 180º

θ = 1 arc s (1º / 3600 s arc) (pi rad / 180º) =

θ = 4.85 10⁻⁶ rad

That angle is extremely small, so we can approximate the tangent to the angle

θ = x / D

x = θ D

x = 4.85 10-6 150 109

x = 727.5 103 m

x = 727.5 km

A brick and a feather fall to the earth at their respective terminal velocities. Which objectexperiences the greater force of ai

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Under the reasonable assumption that the brick has more mass than the feather, the brick experiences a greater force of air friction.

Explanation:

Objects at terminal velocity, only under the influence of gravity, have maximized their speed and have an acceleration of zero. Thus, neither object is accelerating.

Recall Newton's second law: $\sum {\vec {F}}=m \vec {a}$

Since acceleration for each object is zero, the sum of the force acting on each of those objects must also be zero.

Since the only forces acting on the objects are gravity and the force of air friction, in order to zero out, the force of air friction must be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity.

Recall that near the surface of the earth, $F_{gravity}=mg$ , so the Force of Gravity acting on an object is directly proportional to the object's mass. (A similar argument could be made even if this were not taking place on the surface of the earth, so long as the objects were the same distance from the object providing gravitational influence).

If the masses of the objects are different, the object with the greater mass will experience a larger force of gravity, and hence a larger force of air friction at terminal velocity.

Under the reasonable assumption that the brick has more mass than the feather, the brick experiences a greater force of air friction.
