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.
Answer:
2.77 * 10^5 m/s
Explanation:
Let us recall that kinetic energy is given by 1/2 mv^2
Where;
m = mass of the body
v = velocity of the body
In this case,
m = 3.38 * 10^31 kg
KE= 1.30 * 10^42 J
KE = 1/2 mv^2
v = √2KE/m
v = √2 * 1.30 * 10^42/3.38 * 10^31
v = √7.69 * 10^10
v = 2.77 * 10^5 m/s
B) the current will decrease
One well-known application of density is determining whether or not an object will float on water. If the object's density is less than the density of water, it will float; if its density is less than that of water, it will sink.In fact, submarines dive below the surface of the water by emptying their ballast tanks
When calculated energy transferred between objects use the definition of heat as
