Why are objects that fall near earth’s surface rarely in free fall?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Because of the presence of air resistance

Explanation:

When an object is in free fall, ideally there is only one force acting on it:

- The force of gravity, W = mg, that pushes the object downward (m= mass of the object, g = acceleration of gravity)

However, this is true only in absence of air (so, in a vacuum). When air is present, it exerts a frictional force on the object (called air resistance) with upward direction (opposite to the motion of free fall) and whose magnitude is proportional to the speed of the object.

Therefore, it turns out that as the object falls, its speed increases, and therefore the air resistance acting against it increases too; as a result, the at some point the air resistance becomes equal (in magnitude) to the force of gravity: when this happens, the net acceleration of the object becomes zero, and so the speed of the object does not increase anymore. This speed reached by the object is called terminal velocity.

An object is in circular motion how will the object behave if the centripetal force is removed
Monica [59]

If the force is removed, then there are no other forces acting on the object, the object will continue to move at constant velocity, meaning that it would move in a line tangent to the circular path.

When a 1.50V battery is shorted by a copper wire whose resistance can be ignored, the current through the copper wire is 2.75 A.
viva [34]

Answer:

Internal resistance = 0.545 ohm

Explanation:

As per ohm's law we know that

V = iR

here we know that

i = electric current = 2.75 A

V = potential difference = 1.50 Volts

now from above equation we have

1.50 = 2.75 ( R)

now we have

R = \frac{1.50}{2.75}

R = 0.545 ohm

A linear accelerator uses alternating electric fields to accelerate electrons to close to the speed of light. A small number of
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

8.1 x 10^13 electrons passed through the accelerator over 1.8 hours.

Explanation:

The total charge accumulated in 1.8 hours will be:

Total Charge = I x t = (-2.0 nC/s)(1.8 hrs)(3600 s/ 1 hr)

Total Charge = - 12960 nC = - 12.96 x 10^(-6) C

Since, the charge on one electron is e = - 1.6 x 10^(-19) C

Therefore, no. of electrons will be:

No. of electrons = Total Charge/Charge on one electron

No. of electrons = [- 12.96 x 10^(-6) C]/[- 1.6 x 10^(-19) C]

<u>No. of electrons = 8.1 x 10^13 electrons</u>
