How fast would a rock fall in a vacuum? Based on this, why would Aristotle say that there could be no such thing as a vacuum?

Answer:

In real measurements, the acceleration that is measured is always less than the acceleration of gravity, therefore there must be a force that opposes the movement, which is why Aristotle says that vacuum stenos

Explanation:

When a rock starts the vacuum, there are no friction forces that make its movement, therefore, if close to the Earth, the rock has an acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity.

Why might the term red hot be misleading? (relating to stars)

Allushta [10]

red hot is hot, but other colours are even hotter. stars may be hotter than red hot.

there is also something calle the red shift.

Acceleration of a free-falling object in a frictionless environment increases as a function of time.

Digiron [165]

A free-falling object is an object moving under the effect of gravitational forces alone

The correct option to select for the True or False question is False

The reason the above selected option is correct is as follows:

According to Newton's second law of motion, we have;

Force = Mass × Acceleration

The force of gravity is $F_{g} =G \cdot \dfrac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}$

Where;

$G \cdot \dfrac{M }{r^{2}} = Acceleration \ due \ to \ gravity , \ g \approx 9.81 m/s^2$

m = The mass of the object

∴ The force acting on an object in free fall, $F_g$ = m × g

Therefore the acceleration of an object in free fall is the constant acceleration due to gravity, and it therefore, does not change with time

The correct option for the question, acceleration of a free-falling object in a frictionless environment increases as a function of time is <u>False</u>

If a man travels from 0m to 5m then back to -3m, all in four seconds, what is the mans displacement?

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

-3 m

Explanation:

Displacement is the final position minus the initial position.

Δx = x − x₀

Δx = -3 m − 0 m

Δx = -3 m
