In free fall, the ___________ of velocity of the object changes

Physics
1 answer:
aleksley [76]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Magnitude and direction.

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

Gravity is considered to be a universal force of attraction which acts between all objects that has both mass, energy and occupy space. Therefore, it acts in such a way as to bring objects together.

Additionally, the gravity of earth makes it possible for all physical objects to possess weight.

Hence, in free fall, the magnitude and direction of velocity of the object changes.

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will _____________.
malfutka [58]

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will double.

Explanation:

The force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law

F=\frac{k q1 q2}{r^{2}}

K=constant= 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²

q1= charge on first particle

q2= charge on second particle

r= distance between the two charges

Now if the first charge is doubled,

we get F'=\frac{k (2q1) q2}{r^{2}}

F'= 2 F

Thus the force gets doubled.

What is the acceleration of a Porsche that can go from 15 mi/hr to 75 mi/hr in 4 seconds?
Elodia [21]

Hi there!

Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time = Δv/Δt

Thus:

a = (75 - 15)/4 = 60/4 = 15 mi/hr²

You want to photograph a circular diffraction pattern whose central maximum has a diameter of 1.0 cm. You have a helium-neon las
topjm [15]

Answer:

0.776 m far Pinhole should be placed before the viewing screen

Explanation:

For circular aperture of diameter D will have a bright central maximum of diameter, width is given by

w=\frac{2.44 \lambda L}{D}

where \lambda is wavelength of helium neon laser = 633 nm, D=10.cm, w=0.12 mm

Pinhole should be placed before the viewing screen is

L=\frac{wD}{2.44\lambda}\\L=\frac{0.12\times 10^{-3}\times 0 .01}{2.44\times 633 \times 10^{-9}}\\L=0.776 m
