Most likely it would dislodge the coconut on the way down due to gravity because on the way up the gravity would slow down the rock but on they down the gravity pulls the rock
Answer:
When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached free fall.
Explanation:
- When an object has only force acting on it as gravity then, it experiences free fall.
- During free fall all the forces except gravity is balanced by one another.
- In the question, object's weight is balanced by air resistance so it is in the state of free fall.
- At the null point of free fall, object experiences weightlessness i.e. it feels like object is not attracted by any force.
Answer:
1. 610,000 lb ft
2. 490 J
Explanation:
1. First, convert mi/hr to ft/s:
100 mi/hr × (5280 ft / mi) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 146.67 ft/s
Now find the kinetic energy:
KE = ½ mv²
KE = ½ (1825 lb / 32.2 ft/s²) (146.67 ft/s)²
KE = 610,000 lb ft
2. KE = ½ mv²
KE = ½ (5 kg) (14 m/s)²
KE = 490 J
